Field circuit 3- Stator terminals Slip rings Prime mover General features Doubly excited machine Rotor – field winding – DC current Stator – Armature winding – AC supply e.g. operated as a generator
Magnetic axis of rotor A B’ C’ Magnetic axis of phase a Stator - Armature - B C • Low speed operation A’ • Large number of poles • e.g. application in • hydroelectric Rotor - field Construction Salient pole If

Frequency of induced voltage given by: Synchronous generators Field current in rotor produce sinusoidal flux in airgap Rotating filed produced when rotor rotates Rotating field induced 3 voltage in 3 phase windings on stator Similar to induction machine, the RMS of induced voltage per phase is Ef = 4.44 f N Kw Ef known as excitation voltage
Synchronous generators Open circuit characteristic (OCC) Ef depends on: • speed • Flux per pole hance If • Exhibit saturation as flux in core saturated
Synchronous generators Application in power system:
Synchronous motors Stator terminals connected to 3 supply – producing rotating magnetic flux However, rotor won’t be able to rotate or start: Due to inertia, rotor cannot catch-up with the fast rotating field !
Synchronous motors Solved by: 1 Frequency is slowly increased from 0 using power electronics converter
Synchronous motors Solved by: 2 (Damper winding) Rotor has ‘squirrel cage’ construction At synchronous speed no current induced in the winding
