ALTERNATORS
Q1 Find the no-load phase & line voltage of a star-connected 3-phase, 6-pole alternator
this runs at 1200rpm, having flux per pole of 0.1Wb sinusoidally distributed .Its
stator has 54 slots having double layer winding. Each coil has 8 turns and the coil
is chorded by 1 slot.
Q2 The stator of a 3-phase, 16-pole alternator has 144 slots & there are 4 conductors per
slot connected in two layers & the conductors of each phase are connected in series.
If the speed of the alternator is 375r.p.m, calculate the e.m.f. induced per phase.
Resultant flux in the air-gap is 0.05 weber per pole sinusoidally distributed.
Assume the coil span at 150 degree electrical.
Q3 A 3-phase, star-connected alternator supplies a load of 10 MW at p.f. 0.85 lagging
& at 11kV (terminal voltage). Its resistance is 0.1 ohm per phase and synchronous
reactance 0.66 ohm per phase. Calculate the line value of e.m.f. generated.
