PROBLEM
A 4-pole generator has a lap-wound armature with 50 slots with 16 conductors per slot. The useful flux per pole is
30mWb. Determine the speed at which the machine must be driven to generate an e.m.f. of 240V.
E = 240 V
c 2p (for lap winding)
Z = 50 x 16 =800
6 = 30mWb
Speed n ?
As, E = 2P0nz 2ppnz 2ponz
2p
= onz
Rearranging above equation, speed will be:-
n =
oz
240/(30mWb x 800)
n = 10 rev/s or 600 rev/min
