A 3-phase, 16-pole alternator has the following data: Number of slots = 192; conductors per slot = 8; coil span = 160°; speed of the alternator = 375 rpm; flux per pole = 55 mWb. Calculate the line voltage.
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.
