    The document discusses synchronous generators. It describes the construction of synchronous generators including their stator and rotor. It explains the working principle using a two-pole and four-pole alternator as examples. The rotor can be of two types - salient pole or smooth cylindrical. Salient pole rotors are used for low-speed alternators while smooth cylindrical rotors are used for high-speed turbo alternators. It concludes by listing references for further reading.

    Introduction

    Alternators (or) Synchronous generators  A Machine generating AC


    e.m.f
    Synchronous motors  A machine accepting i/p from AC supply to
    produce mechanical output
    Synchronous Speed:
    Alternators has to be rotated at a particular speed to keep the frequency
    of the generated e.m.f constant at required value
    Ns = 120f / P
    Ns  Synchronous speed
    f frequency
    P  No. of poles

    CONSTRUCTION
    STATOR

     Stationary Armature winding


     Stator core use a laminated construction  Special steel stamping
    and insulated from each other with varnish or paper  Reduce the
    eddy current loss
     Steel material  Reduce hysteresis loss

    CONSTRUCTION
    ROTOR

    SALIENT POLE TYPE:

     Projected pole type as all the


    poles are projected out from
    the surface of the rotor.
     Rotor have large diameter and
    small axial length

     Mechanical strength is less


     So it is preferred for low speed alternator (125 rpm to 500 rpm)
     Application: Water turbine , I.C engines

    ROTOR

    SMOOTH CYLINDRICAL OR NON-SALIENT POLE :

     Smooth solid steel cylinder,


    having no. of slots to
    accommodate field coils.
     Rotor have small diameter and
    large axial length

     Mechanical very strength


     So it is preferred for high speed alternator (turbo alternators) (1500
    rpm to 3000 rpm)
     Application: Steam turbine , Electric motor

    OPERATION
    TWO POLE ALTERNATOR:

     Principle: Faradays law of EMI  When there is a relative motion


    b/w the conductors and the flux, emf gets induced in the conductor.

    OPERATION
    FOUR POLE ALTERNATOR:

    Kongunadu College of Engineering & Technology Synchronous Generator


    The rotor winding is energized from the d.c. exciter and
    alternate N and S poles are developed on the rotor.
    When the three phase supply is given to the stator, the stator
    or armature conductors experience the force due to
    electromagnetic induction.
    Then the rotor starts to rotate. The speed of the motor is
    given by;

    N = 120f / P
    Where N = speed of rotor in r.p.m. ,
    P = number of rotor poles.
