Synchronous Generators Problems

The document summarizes solutions to 4 problems related to basic electrical engineering concepts: 1) Calculating the synchronous speed of a 3-phase, 6-pole ac machine supplied at 25 Hz. 2) Calculating the phase emf of a 4-pole, 3-phase, 50 Hz alternator with specific winding parameters. 3) Calculating the frequency, phase voltage, and line voltage of a 3-phase, 16-pole alternator running at 375 rpm. 4) Determining the useful flux per pole of a 3-phase alternator producing a given line voltage at 500 rpm, given its winding parameters.

MODULE V (A)

Problems:

1. The stator of an ac machine is wound for six poles, three phase. If the supply frequency is 25
Hz, what is the value of the synchronous speed?

Solution: Ns= 120f/P = 500 rpm

2. Calculate the phase emf induced in a 4 pole, 3 phase, 50 Hz, star connected alternator with 36
slots and 30 conductors per slot. The flux per pole is 0.05 Webers. Assume factor of 0.95.

Solution:

Total number of slots = 36, Frequency f = NP / 120 = 375 x 16 / 120 = 50 Hz

No. of slots per phase = 36 / 3 = 12

No. of conductors per slot = 30

No. of conductors per phase = 12 x 30 = 360

No. of turns per phase = T = 360 / 2 = 180

Assuming full pitch winding, pitch factor Kc = 1

Phase emf = Eph = 4KfKcKd f T volts

Eph = 4 x 1.11 x 1 x 0.95 x 50 x 0.05 x 180=1898V

3.A 3-phase, 16 pole alternator has a star connected winding having 144 slots and 10 conductors
per slot. The flux per pole is 0.03 Webers and speed is 375 rpm. Find the frequency and phase
and line voltage. Winding Factor Kd = 0.96, Pitch factor Kc = 1.

Solution:

Flux per pole, = 0.03 Webers

Frequency f = NP / 120 = 375 x 16 / 120 = 50 Hz

No. of slots per phase = 144 / 3 = 48

No. of conductors per slot = 10

No. of conductors per phase = 48 x 10 = 480

Basic Electrical Engineering

Turns per phase T = conductors per phase / 2 = 480/2 = 240

Form factor = Kf = 1.11

E.M.F generated per phase = Eph = 4KfKcKd f T volts

= 4 x 1.11 x 1 x 0.96 x 50 x 0.03 x 240

= 1534 volts.

Line emf = 3 x 1534 = 2657 volts.

4.A 3-phase star connected alternator with 12 poles generates 1100 volts on open circuit at a
speed of 500 rpm. Assuming 180 turns per phase, a distribution factor of 0.96 and full pitched
coils, find the useful flux per pole.

Solution:

Given line emf = 1100 volts

E.M.F per phase, Eph = 1100 / 3 = 635 volts

f = NP / 120 = 500x12 / 120 = 50 Hz

Eph = 4KfKcKd f T volts ----------------------- (1)

Kf = 1.11

For full-pitched winding,

Pitch Factor = Kc = 1

Distribution factor = Kd = 0.96

T = No. of turns per phase = 180

= Flux per pole (in Webers)

Substituting in expression (1) above,

Eph = 4KfKcKd f T volts

635 = 4 x 1.11 x 1 x 0.96 x 50 x x 180

Flux per pole = = 635 / 4.44 x 0.96 x 50 x 180

Flux per pole = = 0.0165 Webers
