Components of Alternator
Stator:
i.As a stationary part, the stator serves as the armature that interacts with the rotor's
magnetic field.
ii.The stator provides structural support and alignment for the rotor, ensuring
proper and efficient rotation within the magnetic field.
Rotor
vi
The rotor in an alternator serves as the magnetic field source. When the rotor spins,
it creates a rotating magnetic field within the alternator. This rotating magnetic
field interacts with the stator windings (stationary coils of wire), inducing an
alternating current (AC) in these windings through electromagnetic induction.
i) Salient pole type: In this type, salient or projecting poles are mounted on a
large circular steel frame which is fixed to the shaft of the alternator. The
individual field pole windings are connected in series in such a way that when the
field winding is energized by the d.c. exciter, adjacent poles have opposite
polarities.
ii) Non-salient pole type: In this type, the rotor is made of smooth solid forged-
steel radial cylinder having a number of slots along the outer periphery.The field
windings are embedded in these slots and are connected in series to the slip rings
through which they are energized by the d.c exciter.
vii
Alternator Woking Principle and Operations
The rotor winding is energized from the d.c. exciter and alternate N and S poles
are developed on the rotor. When the rotor is rotated in anti-clockwise direction
by a prime mover, the stator or armature conductors are cut by the magnetic flux
of rotor poles. Consequently, e.m.f. is induced in the armature conductors due to
electromagnetic induction. The induced e.m.f. is alternating since N and S poles
of rotor alternately pass the armature conductors. The direction of induced e.m.f.
can be found by Fleming’s right hand rule and frequency is given by:
f = 𝑁𝑃
120
The magnitude of the voltage induced in each phase depends upon the rotor flux,
the number and position of the conductors in the phase and the speed of the rotor

RECTIFIERS
Types of RECTIFIERS
1. Half Wave Rectifier
i) It is a simple type of rectifier made with single diode which is connected in series
with load. For small power levels this type of rectifier circuit is commonly used.
ii) During the positive half of the AC input, diode becomes forward biased and
currents starts flowing through it.
iii) During the negative half of the AC input, diode becomes reverse biased and current
stops flowing through it.
iv) Because of high ripple content in the output, this type of rectifier is seldom used
with pure resistive load.
The output DC voltage of a half wave rectifier can be calculated with the
following two ideal equations

𝑉𝑟𝑚𝑠 =

ϒ = √ 𝐼2𝑚 2 − 1 = √ −1= ϒ = 1.211
( ) 4
𝜋
This indicates that the ripple content in the output are 1.211 times the dc
component i.e. 121.1% of dc component.
The ripple factor is very high.
Therefore a half wave rectifier is a poor converter of ac to dc.
The ripple factor is minimized using filter circuits along with the rectifier

2. Full Wave Bridge Rectifier
• Using the same secondary voltage, this bridge rectifier can produce almost double
the output voltage as compared with full wave center-tapped transformer rectifier.
• During the positive half of the input AC diodes D1 and D2 are forward biased and
D3 and D4 are reverse biased. Thus load current flows through D1 and D2 diodes.
• During the negative half cycle of the input diodes D3&D4 are forward biased and
D1&D2 are reverse biased. Therefore load current flows through D3&D4 diodes.
