A 100-kVA, 3,000-V, 50-Hz, 3-phase starconnected alternator. The effective resistance to ohmic resistance is 1.5. The ohmic resistance is obtained by connecting two terminals to a dc source. The current and voltage are 15 A and 6 V. A field current of 40 A produces short-circuit current of 200 A and an open-circuit e.m.f. of 1040 V (line value). Calculate the full-load percentage regulation and efficiency at a power factor of 0.8 lagging, with field and stray power losses equal to 2750 W.
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.
