gap diameter, core length, Number of stator conductors, Number of stator slots,
cross section of stator conductors. Assume average gap density as 0.6 Wb/m2
and specific electric loading of 30000 amp.cond/m and L/ = 0.85.
7. A 1000 kVA, 3300 V, 300 rpm, 50 Hz, 3 alternator has 180 slots with 5
conductors per slot. Single layer winding with full pitch coils is used. The winding
is star connected with one circuit per phase. Determine the specific electric and
magnetic loadings, if the stator bore is 2.0 m and the core length is 0.4 m. The
machine has 60 phase spread.
8. Determine the main dimensions of 100 kVA, 50 Hz, 375 rpm, 3 alternator. The
average air gap flux density is 0.55 Wb/m2 and ampere conductors per meter are
28000. Given that L/ must be between 1 to 5.The maximum permissible
peripheral speed is 50 m/sec. The runaway speed is 1.8 times synchronous speed.
