Armature Reaction in Synchronous Generator

Nature of Armature Reaction

Armature Reaction in Synchronous Generator: The Armature Reaction in Synchronous Generator is dependent on the power factor at which the machine is operating and upon the operating mode generating/motoring. For simplicity of explanation, it will be assumed here that the armature resistance and leakage reactance are negligible so that Figure 8.26 shows the phasor diagrams, …

Voltage Regulation of Synchronous Generator

Voltage Regulation

Voltage Regulation of Synchronous Generator: The Voltage Regulation of Synchronous Generator is defined on lines similar to that of a transformer. Consider the generator supplying full-load current at a specified power factor and rated terminal voltage, Vt (rated). As the load is thrown off keeping the field current constant, the terminal voltage rises to The …

Construction of Cylindrical Rotor Synchronous Machine

Synchronous Machine Model

Construction of Cylindrical Rotor Synchronous Machine: As stated earlier the Cylindrical Rotor Synchronous Machine offers constant permeance to mmf waves irrespective of the mechanical position of the rotor and is, therefore, simpler to model. Figure 8.1 shows the cross-sectional view of a 2-pole Cylindrical Rotor Synchronous Machine. The rotor has distributed windings which produce an …
