Energy Conversion One: Synchronous Generators
(Course 25741)
2- brush voltage drop results in significant power losses if field current is high Despite of above problems, SLIP RINGS & BRUSHES used for smaller synchronous machines since is cost-effective
SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR
Speed of rotation of synchronous generator
Electric power generated at 50 or 60 Hz, so rotor must turn at fixed speed depending on number of poles on machine To generate 60 Hz in 2 pole machine, rotor must turn at 3600 r/min, and to generate 50 Hz in 4 pole machine, rotor must turn at 1500 r/min INTERNAL GENERATED VOLTAGE OF A SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR magnitude of induced voltage in one phase determined in last section: EA=2 NC f
