A three-phase alternator of 4 poles and 60 HZ, connected in star of 100 KVA and 1100 volts is tested for OCC, SCC and winding resistance, giving the following data: Based on the above data, obtain: a) - The equivalent circuit per phase of the alternator b) - Operating speed c) - If it is synchronized with a power system whose frequency is 60 Hz and the alternator has a Sp=5 kW/Hz and its speed at the moment of synchronization is 1860 rpm, what power will it deliver?
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.
