One phase of a three-phase alternator consists of twelve coils in series. Each coil has an rms voltage of 15 V induced in it and the coils are arranged in slots so that there is successive phase displacement of 20 electrical degrees between the emf in each coil and the next. Find the rms value of the total phase voltage developed by winding. If the alternator has six poles and is driven at 200 rpm, calculate the frequency of the emf generated.

Question

One phase of a three-phase alternator consists of twelve coils in series. Each coil
has an rms voltage of 15 V induced in it and the coils are arranged in slots so that
there is successive phase displacement of 20 electrical degrees between the emf
in each coil and the next. Find the rms value of the total phase voltage developed
by winding. If the alternator has six poles and is driven at 200 rpm, calculate the
frequency of the emf generated.
