Assignment 01
1. What are the advantages of having stationary armature and rotating field system in
alternators?
2. Discuss the construction and principle of operation of a three phase synchronous
generator.
3. Define synchronous speed. Derive the relationship between speed and frequency of
a synchronous machine.
4. An 8-pole synchronous generator is running at 750 rpm. What is the frequency? At
what speed must the generator be run so that frequency shall be 25 Hz?
5. Define pitch factor, distribution factor and winding factors. How these are
calculated?
6. What are the advantages of fractional pitch winding?
7. A 60 Hz synchronous machine has 108 slots, with 4 conductors per slot, and has a
distributed winding with a coil pitch of 16 slots. Calculate the distribution factor, pitch
factor and winding factor for the machine.

the rms line voltage. (c) If each phase is capable of carrying 650A in current, what is
the kVA rating of the machine?
11. A 3-phase, 60 Hz, 2-pole star connected, armature winding of a generator has 6
slots per pole per phase. The pitch is 10 slots and the coil pitch is 9 slots. The
winding is double layer and has 30 turns per phase. If the airgap flux is sinusoidal
distributed, what must be its maximum value to give 600V across the lines?
