induced voltage synchronous motor

Hi all,

A synchronous motor 11 kV and 2.8 MW (DOL contactor) employs a series impedance (inductor) to limit the starting current during startup. After a few seconds, a bypass contactor is activated to bypass the impedance. The DC excitation is applied following the bypass.

A manufacturer asks what is the induced voltage before startup/excitation and how this voltage is obtained.

In my case, is the induced voltage equal to the nominal voltage of 11 kV?
