SYNCHRONOUS MACHINES Basic principles
SEE 3433 MESIN ELEKTRIK SYNCHRONOUS MACHINES Basic principles
2
General features Doubly excited machine
Rotor – field winding – DC current Stator – Armature winding – AC supply e.g. operated as a generator Field circuit Slip rings 3- Stator terminals Prime mover
3
Construction Magnetic axis of rotor Salient pole A B’ If C’ Stator
Magnetic axis of phase a Stator - Armature - Rotor - field Low speed operation Large number of poles e.g. application in hydroelectric
4
Construction Cylindrical A B’ C’ B C High speed operation A’
Magnetic axis of rotor Magnetic axis of phase a High speed operation Small number of poles e.g. application in steam turbines
5
Salient rotor
6
Stator under construction
7
Synchronous generator – non-salient pole
8
Synchronous generators
Field current in rotor produce sinusoidal flux in airgap Rotating filed produced when rotor rotates Rotating field induced 3 voltage in 3 phase windings on stator Similar to induction machine, the RMS of induced voltage per phase is Ef = 4.44 f N Kw Frequency of induced voltage given by: Ef known as excitation voltage
9
Synchronous generators
Open circuit characteristic (OCC) Ef depends on: speed Flux per pole hance If Exhibit saturation as flux in core saturated
10
Synchronous generators
Application in power system:
11
Synchronous motors Stator terminals connected to 3 supply – producing rotating magnetic flux However, rotor won’t be able to rotate or start: Due to inertia, rotor cannot catch-up with the fast rotating field !
12
1 Synchronous motors Solved by:
Frequency is slowly increased from 0 using power electronics converter
13
2 Synchronous motors Solved by: (Damper winding)
Rotor has ‘squirrel cage’ construction At synchronous speed no current induced in the winding
