A 50-kVA, 550-volt single phase alternator draws a field current 10 A at rated load. With the same field current, the open circuit emf and short-circuit currents are 300V and 150A. The ohmic resistance of the armature between terminals is 0.18ohm. The ratio of effective to ohmic resistance maybe taken as 1.5. Determine the regulation at 0.8 power factor lagging. *Well Explained
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.
