A 1-phase alternator has a nameplate rating of 380V, 60Hz. The equivalent impedance of the alternator is 0.05+j0.1 ohm. Determine the current at 0.8 power factor leading if the generated voltage (no-load voltage) is equal to the full load voltage. a. 135.9A b. 0.1118A c. 1512.5A d. 1215.5A
Synchronous Generator
In comparison to an asynchronous generator, it is a machine where the rotor speed is equal to the rotating magnetic field produced by the stator, i.e., mechanical speed is equal to the electrical speed, thus called synchronous, and not asynchronous.
Salient Pole Rotor
Salient pole rotor includes a large number of exposed poles mounted on a magnetic wheel. The construction of a bright pole is as shown in the image on the left. The proposed poles are made of metal laminations. The rotor winding is provided on these poles and is supported by pole shoes.
