Synchronous generator
A prime mover (diesel engine or turbine) is
connected to the shaft (rotor) to supply mechanical
power.
A dc current is applied to the rotor or field
winding producing a rotating magnetic field (B
r
).
A 3 set of voltages is induced on the stator or
armature windings.
Elementary Synchronous generator
Voltage is induced on the 3 windings placed on the stator by the
variation of the magnetic flux.
The rotating magnetic field is created by the dc current appliedto the
field winding on the spinning rotor!
3
The rotor circuit (magnet)
2 and 4-pole machines have nonsalient (cylindri-
cal) poles while machines with 4 or more poles
have salient (sticking out) poles.
The rotor circuit (magnet)
Dc current is supplied to the rotor by means of slip
rings and brushes.
4
A brushless exciter system
The dc current that appears on the rotor is obtained from a
rectified induced voltage.
Another brushless exciter system
Notice the small pilot exciter (extra windings, permanent
magnet and rectifiers).
5
The speed of rotation of a synchronous
generator
The electrical frequency is synchronized to the rotor speed
Recall that the magnetic field created by a 3 4-pole
machine moves 180
o
while the stator currents vary 360
o.
Therefore, a 2-pole generator must turn at 3600 r/min to
produce a 60 Hz voltage while a 4-pole must turn at 1500
r/min to produce 50 Hz power.

The output voltage of the generator
Factors that affect the output voltage ( V

):
- Armature reaction. Field created by the stator or
armature currents.
- Self-inductance and resistance of the stator
windings.
These can be modeled by an inductive reactance
and resistance in series with the internal
generated voltage
