QUESTIONS ON GENERATOR

1 How the alternators transfer mechanical energy to electrical one??


2 What happens when the field of an alternator connected to infinite bus is suddenly removed?
3 Why DC excitation is used for alternators? Why cant it be AC?
what are the types used for alternator earthing, what will happen if more than two alternator is
4 working in parallel with each having own system earthing. Is there any possibility for circulating
current in between two systems?
In domestic supply, when neutral touches earth the earth leakage trips. Does this mean that if the
5 star (neutral) point of an alternator is earthed that power will flow to earth i.e. a direct short to
earth?
6 Why do we generate sinusoidal AC? Can we generate some other waveforms by alternators?

other system require Neutral Grounding and not Phase grounding 3. what happens if any one of
44 the phase is grounded. 4. if 15kv is grounded directly what will happen, why it should not be
grounded like that 5. use of of NGTR(Neutral Grounding Transformer and Resistor) for grounding
