The salient feature of pole field structure has the following special feature-
The cylindrical rotor alternators are generally designed for 2-pole type giving
very high speed of
The cylindrical rotor synchronous generator does not have any projections
coming out from the surface of the rotor. Rather, the central polar area is
provided with slots for housing the field windings as we can see from the
diagram above.
The field coils are so arranged around these poles that flux density is
maximum on the polar central line and gradually falls away as we move out
towards the periphery. The cylindrical rotor type machine gives better balance
and quieter-operation along with lesser windage losses.
