A 3-phase 4-pole alternator has a single layer full-pitch winding with 8 conductors per slot. The armature has a total of 36 slots. Determine the voltage between lines when the alternator is driven at 1800 rpm with a flux of 0.05 Wb per pole.
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.
