A 500-kw 600-volt 10-pole generator has an armature with 108 slots, 324 com mutator segments, and a simplex-lap winding with a total of 648 conductors. Calculate: (a) the number of conductors per slot; (b) the number of winding elements per coil; (c) the number of turns per winding element; (d) the full-load current per conductor; (e) the current per brush arm
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.
