Theory
A Synchronous machine is an ac machine in which the rotor moves at a speed which
bears a constant relation ship to the frequency of currents in the armature winding. A
synchronous machine is one of the important type of electric machines. Large ac
network operating at constant frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz rely almost exclusively on
synchronous generators also called the alternators, for the supply of electrical energy
and may have synchronous compensators at key points for control of reactive power.
Synchronous motors provide constant speed industrial drives with the possibility of
power factor correction. Synchronous machines are generally constructed in larger
size. Small size alternators are not economical. The modern trends are to build
alternators of very large size capable of generating 500MVA or even more. The
synchronous motor is rarely built in small size owing to superior performance
characteristics and economical construction of induction motors.
Operating principle of Synchronous Machines:

Figure 1
Synchronous machine is fundamentally the same as that of a dc machine but unlike
the latter in the synchronous machine there is no need to rectify the time varying emf
which is induced in the armature winding. Consequently a synchronous machine does
not require a commutator. It is in fact quite possible to use a dc generator as an
alternator by placing a set of collector rings on the shaft and connecting these rings to
the proper points on the armature winding brushes riding on the rings can then be
connected to the load. But unlike dc generator they are to be driven at a very definite
constant speed as the frequency of generated emf is determined by that speed. The
latter is usually referred to as the synchronous speed for which reason these machines
are frequently called the synchronous generators. Synchronous generators because of
absence of commutator are comparatively simple and possess several important
advantages over the dc generators.
Classification of synchronous machine:
According to their application may be synchronous generator, synchronous motors or
compensators. A synchronous generator is a synchronous machine which receives
mechanical energy from a prime-mover to which is mechanically coupled and
delivers electrical energy. A synchronous motor receives electrical energy from ac
supply main and drives mechanical load. Synchronous compensator is a synchronous
machine designed to operate on no-load with its shaft connected neither to a prime-
mover nor to a mechanical load and is used to control reactive power in power supply
networks. Synchronous compensators are designed for rating up to 100MVAR and
speed up to 3000 rpm.
Based on the construction of the machines the synchronous machines may be
classified
1. Rotating armature type
2. Rotating field type.

NV7017

Rotating armature type alternator looks very much like a dc generator except that
there are 3 slip ring instead of commutator. In such generators the required magnetic
field is produced by dc electro-magnets placed on the stationary member called the
stator and the current generated is collected by means of brushes and slip-rings on the
revolving member called the rotor.
Practically all medium and large machines are always constructed with revolving field
the advantages of stationary armature and revolving field system are given below:
1. It is easier to insulate stationary armature winding for very high voltage because
of insulation of stationary armature is not subjected to mechanical stresses due
to centrifugal action and more space is available on the stator for providing more
insulation as the stator is out side the rotor.
2. The load circuit can be connected directly with the fixed terminals of the stator
without passing through slip-rings and brushes. In the case of rotating armature
the load circuit is required to be connected with the armature windings by means
of slip-rings and brushes. In the case of rotating armature the load circuit is
required to be connected with the armature winding by means of slip-rings and
brushes in which case a difficulty is experienced in collection of heavy currents
at very high voltages.
3. The armature winding can be more easily braced in a rigid frame to prevent any
deformation which could be developed by the mechanical stresses set up due to
short-circuit currents and the high centrifugal forces brought in to play.
4. The armature winding is cooled more readily because the stator core can be
made large enough with many air passages or cooling ducts for forced air
circulation.
5. Only two slip-rings are required for the supply of direct current to the rotor and
since the exciting current is to the supplied at low voltage of 125Vor 250V,
there is no difficulty in insulating them.
6. Since the exciting current is relatively small, therefore the slip-rings and the
brush gear need be of only light construction.
7. Due to simple, light and robust construction of the rotor, higher speed of rotating
dc field is possible. This results in increased output from the machine of given
dimensions.
The synchronous machines may be classified as
1. Salient pole machines
2. Cylindrical rotor machines
Depending upon the type of construction used for the rotor. The salient pole
construction is used for generators and motors of all ranges of output and up to all but
the higher speeds. Medium and large sized generators for the highest speeds are of the
cylindrical –rotor type.
Construction of Synchronous Machines:
Synchronous machine consists essentially of two parts namely the armature (or stator)
and the field magnet system.
1. Armature (or stator). The armature is an iron ring, formed of laminations of
special magnetic iron or steel alloy having slots on its periphery to accommodate
armature conductors and is known as stator. The whole structure is held in a frame
which may be of cast iron or welded steel plate.

The open slots are more commonly used because the coils can be form-wound and
insulated prior to being placed in the slots giving least expenditure and most
satisfactory winding method this type of slots also facilitate in removal and
replacement of defective coils but this type of slots have disadvantage of distributing
the air gap flux in to branches or tufts which tends to produce ripples in the emf wave.
The semi-closed type slots are better in this respect but do not permit the use of form
–wound coils. Totally closed slots are rarely used.

Figure 2
Number of slots per pole per phase should be large to give sinusoidal generated emf
in general the number of slots per pole per phase should be large to give sinusoidal
generated emf. In general the no of slots per pole per phase is 3 to 4 for small
machines and more than 5 for large machines small machines may have integral slot
winding with enough chording. For large machines fractional slot winding is used and
so the number of slots per pole per phase may not be an integer. The minimum tooth
width should be such that the maximum flux density in it does not exceed the limit of
flux density in it does not exceed the limit of flux density in it does not exceed the
limit of flux density in teeth permissible to avoid saturation. The depth of the slots and
shape is such as to accommodate the required number of conductors per slots for the
rated voltage to be produced at the rated speed. Generally depth is 4 to 6 times the
width. If the depth is increased synchronous reactance in slot increases core losses in
teeth are larger and more excitation will be required for the machine.
2 Field magnet system or Rotor:
The magnetic field required for the generation of alternating voltage is provided by
field magnets similar to those of a dc machine and these need to be supplied with
direct current this may be had from some external source, but so as to make the
alternator self contained and independent of other source of supply it is more usual to
install a small dc generator for this purpose. The generator is called the exciter and is
coupled to the engine or turbine driving the alternator. The exciter armature is
connected directly to the alternator field winding, usually without any kind of
controlling resistance so that except for variations due to temperature changes the
resistance of the exciter load is constant. For the successful operation of alternator it is
necessary to be able to vary the exciting current over a wide range from practically
zero to the full output of the exciter, and this is achieved by varying the resistance in
exciter field circuit. For making the field current entirely independent of the armature
terminal voltage a small pilot exciter is designed to be saturated at its terminal
voltage, by reason of which its terminal voltage remains sensibly constant at all loads.
It is usually coupled mechanically to the main exciter and the two are often enclosed
together in the same housing.

The field system of the alternator is rotated within the armature ring and is known as
rotor. The exciting current is supplied to the rotor through two slip-ring and brushes.
The polarities of the field produced is alternately north (N) and south (S).the power
rating of exciter is ordinarily 0.5 to 1% of power rating of the synchronous generator.
The voltage rating of the exciter is usually between 125 and 250 volt. Recently
brushless excitation system has been developed in which a 3-phase ac exciter and a
group of rectifiers supply to the alternator. Hence brushes, slip-rings and commutator
are eliminated.
Salient pole type field structure:
The field structure of this type is used almost entirely for slow and moderate speed
alternators since it is least expensive and provides ample space for the field ampere-
turns. Salient pole machines are cheaper than cylindrical rotor machines when speed
does not exceed 1000 rpm. Salient pole type field structure can not be employed in
high speed machines on account of high peripheral speed and the difficulty of
obtaining sufficient mechanical strength. The salient field poles would also cause an
excessive windage loss and produce noise if driven at high speed.
The rotor of a low speed machine resembles a flywheel with electromagnets, similar
to the field magnets of the dc machine bolted on all round the periphery. It is usually
made of cost-iron or cost steel and has a heavy central hub, a number of radial arms,
and a heavy rim which forms the yoke of the magnet system. The flywheel type of
rotor is constructed to give adequate mechanical strength to withstand centrifugal and
driving force and at the same time to provide the necessary path for the magnetic
fluxes. The poles may be either solid or laminated but in any case the pole shoes are
laminated because the armature teeth between the slots cause concentration of flux
which generates emf in the pole shoes. If they were not laminated the resulting eddy
currents would causes excessive loss and heating. The pole faces are so shaped that
the radial air-gap length increases from the pole centre to the pole-tips as shown in
fig. so that the flux distribution over the armature surface is sinusoidal and waveform
of generated emf is sinusoidal and waveform of generated emf is sinusoidal.
The salient pole field structure has the following special features:
1. They have large diameter and short axial length.
2. The pole shoes cover about 2/3 of pole pitch.
3. Poles are laminated in order to reduce eddy current losses.
4. These are employed with hydraulic turbines or diesel engines. The speed is
100 to 375 rpm.
Non-salient pole type field structure:
The field structure of this type is used in very high speed alternator to reduce the
peripheral velocity the diameter of the rotor is reduced and axial length is increased.
The ratio of diameter to axial length ranges from 1/3 to ½ .a small number of poles is
required to give the required frequency.

Due to high peripheral speed the rotating part of the turbo generator is normally built
from solid steel forging chromium –nickel steel or special chrome –nickel-
molybdenum steel is used for the rotor of turbo-alternators. The forging has radial
slots in which the field copper, usually in strip form, is placed. The coils are held in
place by steel or bronze wedges and the coil ends are fastened by metal rings. so as to
form the pole faces as sown 3.8 rectangular slots with tapered teeth are milled
Normally tow thirds of the rotor is slotted for the field winding and one-third is left
without slots out in the rotor so that rectangular conductors can be used for the field
winding. Each slots is provided with a ventilation hole at the bottom. To reduce
harmful tooth ripples, either stator slots or poles are skewed.
The non-salient field structure has the following special features.
1. They are of smaller diameter and of very long axial length.
2. Robust construction and noiseless operation.
3. Less windage loss.
4. Better in dynamic balancing.
5. High operating speed.
6. Nearly sinusoidal flux distribution around the periphery, and therefore gives a
better emf waveform than that obtainable with salient field structure.
7. There is no need of providing damper winding because the solid field poles
themselves act as efficient dampers.
Air-gap. A very small air-gap increases the stray-load loss; also the eccentricity in the
air-gap can result from mechanical difficulties. This also increases the synchronous
reactance Xd. A large air-gap to the pole pitch is between 0.008 to 0.02.
Production of sinusoidal alternating EMF:
When the rotor is rotated by means of some prime-mover, the armature conductors,
due to electro-magnetic induction effect. When the conductor is opposite the middle
of the poles as, at B, D and F induced emf in it is maximum, the direction of the
induced emf depends upon the name the pole influencing the conductor at any given
instant. Thus an alternating emf is induced in the conductors which go through one
complete cycle in an angular distance equal to twice of the pole pitch. Through the
shape of the wave of alternating induced emf is not exactly the sinusoidal but taken as
sinusoidal.
Frequency of induced EMF:
As mentioned above an emf induced in conductor goes through one complete cycle in
an angular distance equal to twice of the pole pitch.
If the number of poles on rotor of an alternator is P then P/2 cycle of emf is completed
in one revolution. The number of cycle per seconds, known as frequency f, will be
equal to the product of number cycles of emf per revolution and number of
revolutions made per second by the rotor.
Frequency, f = (P/2) n
When n is the number of revolutions made per seconds by the rotor.
Or f = (P/2)(N/60) = PN/1120
Where N is the number of revolutions made per minute by the rotor.
Hence frequency of induced emf or current induced in stator conductor depends upon
the number of poles and speed of rotor.

Rating of alternators:
All the power apparatus whether it is steam engine or gas engine or electric machine
have power ratings defined as the power which can be safely and efficiently delivered
by a machine under some specific conditions. Electrical apparatus are machine is
usually rated at the load which it can carry without overheating and damage to
insulation rating of electric machine is governed by the temperature rise caused by the
internal losses of the machine. The copper loss in the armature depends on the
strength of the armature current and core loss on voltage and thus these losses are
independent of power factor.
The output in KW is proportional to power factor for the alternator of a given KVA.
For example output of 1000 KVA alternator on full load will be 200,500,800 and
1000kw at power factor 0.2, 0.5, 0.8 and unity respectively but copper losses in
armature will remain same regardless of power factor. For the forgoing reasons
alternators are rated in KVA or KW at specified power factor. Other name plate data’s
include voltage, current, frequency speed, number of phases, field ampere and voltage
and maximum temperature rise.
The prime-movers which drive the alternators have a rating independent of power
factor. It depends on kilowatt output. Thus a turbine, which can be used to drive a
25000 KVA alternator operating at 0.8 pf can also drive another alternator of rating
30000 KVA but operating at 0.66 pf. However it can not drive an alternator of 22500
KVA capacities operating at unity power factor.
Advantages of Synchronous Motors:
1 The initial cost of a synchronous motor is more than that of a conventional AC
induction motor due to the expense of the wound rotor and synchronizing
circuitry. These initial costs are often off-set by:
2 Precise speed regulation makes the synchronous motor an ideal choice for
certain industrial processes and as a prime mover for generators.
3 Synchronous motors have speed / torque characteristics which are ideally suited
for direct drive of large horsepower, low-rpm loads such as reciprocating
compressors.
4 Synchronous motors operate at an improved power factor, thereby improving
overall system power factor and eliminating or reducing utility power factor
penalties. An improved power factor also reduces the system voltage drop and
the voltage drop at the motor terminals.
5 Electromagnetic power varies linearly with the voltage
6 These motor can be construction with wider air gaps than induction motor which
makes them better mechanically these motor usually operate at higher efficiency
especially at low speed unity power factor
7 The ease with the power factor can be controlled an overexcited synchronous
motor having a leading power factor can be operated in parallel with the
induction motor and other power factor operating at lagging power factors
thereby improving the power factor of the supply system .
8 Since the motor having speed is constant and independent of load this
characteristic is mainly is mainly of use when the motor is required to drive
another alternator to generate a supply at a different frequency as in motor
changers.

Disadvantage of the Synchronous Motor

1 It require DC excitation which must be supplied from external source
2 the synchronous motor is inherently not self starting and need some arrangement
for its starting and synchronizing
3 It can be started under load its starting torque is zero
4 It has a tendency to hunt
5 It may fall out of synchronism and stop when over loaded
6 Collector ring and brushes are required
7 It is not desirable when the frequent starting or strong starting torque is required
it can be used for variable speed jobs as there is no possibility of speed
adjustment
Applications of synchronous machine:
The various classes of service for which the synchronous motor employed may be
classified
 Power factor correction
 Voltage regulation
 Constant speed constant load drives
1 They are used in a power factor house and substation in parallel to the bus bar to
improve the power factor for this purpose they are run without mechanical load on
them and overexcited.
2 In factories having a large number of induction motor or other power factor
apparatus operating at lagging power factor they are employed to improve the
power factor such motor are also used to regulate the voltage at the end of
transmission line
3 Because of the higher efficiency possible with synchronous motor they can be
used where constant speed is required typical application of high speed
synchronous motor are such drive as fans, blowers, dc generator, line shaft,
centrifugal pumps and compressors, paper mills etc
4 Synchronous motors are used where a fixed speed is required at network supply
and if there is a need for reactive power supply. In dynamic speed control drives,
for e. g. in robots or servo drives, previously synchronous machines with
permanent magnets have been used.
5 The synchronous machine as a reactive power generator, is used to prevent
transmission of reactive power over a long line path. The armature current is
increased by changing the excitation current at constant rotational speed and
constant mechanical load.
6 More often the synchronous machine is used as a three-phase generator in power
stations. Now specific outputs up to 1500 MVA are made. Generators in thermal
power stations are cylindrical-rotor machines, while for hydro power plants salient
pole machines are used. For the local power supply a synchronous generator is
placed in a small run-of-river power station, unit-type power stations combined
with heat and power or in wind power plants. If due to the location there is no
power supply possible then the generator runs in solitary operation. With that the
voltage and frequency must be kept stable independent of the load by the
regulation of the exciting current and the driving power: If the stator current

Nvis Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 13

NV7017

increases due to an increased power demand, the voltage drops over the reactance
increases. This would lead to a decrease of the terminal voltage. Therefore the
excitation current must be increased until the terminal voltage reaches the rated
value.
7 Some typical applications for single-phase AC Synchronous Motors include:
 Valve Operations Metering Pumps
 Cryogenic Pumps
 Dampers
 Table Lifts
 Simple Position & Process Controls
 Stirring Linear Actuators
 Edge Guides
 Variable Transformers
 Conveyor Systems
 Remote Control of Switches
