A salient pole, star connected, 50 HZ, synchronous generator has the
following data:
Total numbers of poles = 10.
Outer rotor surface diameter = 1.0 m.
Axial active length = 0.4 m.
Number of stator slots = 90 slots, double layer stator winding with
coil span = 8 slot pitch and number of turns per coil = 5. If the rotor
air field at no load has a 3rd harmonic component 0.1 tesla, calculate
the RMS value of the 3rd harmonic induced voltage at no load in the
stator phase winding as well as between the line value.
Given:
Star
F=50 hz
2p=10
D=1m
Laxial =0.4m
S=90
Nc=5
Coil span=8 slot pitch
B3rd=0.1 tesla
