AC Machines 6077SA NUE 046
Alternators Identify the basic components of a Alternator List the types of rotors used Test motor windings for suitability to connect to the supply Connect in both Clockwise and counter clockwise rotation List the steps for dismantling it At the end of this section you will be able to:
Types Governed By: • Load Current Requirements • Single or Three Phase • Prime Mover Speed
Prime Mover Determines Speed of Alternator High Speed Slow Speed • Windmill • Diesel Motor • Water turbine • Steam turbine
Number of Poles Speed Determines Number of Poles 50 Hz Required OR
Number of Poles 375 RPM = 16 Poles 750 RPM = 8 Poles 1500 RPM = 4 Poles 3000 RPM = 2 Poles
Number of Poles Determines Shape of Alternator 16 Poles • Large Diameter • Short length Salient Pole
Number of Poles Determines Shape of Alternator • Small Diameter • Long 2 Poles Cylindrical
Generated Voltage Dependant on • Flux density • Flux strength • Speed of rotation • Number of turns per pole • Length of pole • Area of pole face
Generated Voltage Φm f N = Maximum flux = Frequency = Number of poles
Generated Voltage Φm f N kp kd = Maximum flux = Frequency = Number of poles = Pitch factor =Distribution or Breadth factor
Voltage Regulation • Resistance • Inductance I E V Voltage Drop Due to R Voltage Drop Due to XL Coils have both
Voltage Regulation Vg Unity PF Terminal Voltage Line Current
Voltage Regulation V less than E I V E Lagging PF of 45
Voltage Regulation Vg Unity PF Terminal Voltage Lagging PF Line Current
Voltage Regulation V More than than E I E V Leading PF of 45
Voltage Regulation Leading PF Vg Unity PF Terminal Voltage Lagging PF Line Current
Voltage Regulation 100 x VNo Load – V Full Load R% = VFull Load If PF = Unity 100 x I x (R x cos + XL x sin) R% = VFull Load
