A 3-phase, 16-pole alternator has a wye connected armature winding with 144 slots, 10 conductors per slot and runs at 450 rpm. The flux is 40 mWb per pole and the distribution factor is 0.966. What value of the line-to-line voltage in kV?
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.
