1. 5.1 INTRODUCTION TO POLYPHASE SYNCHRONOUS MACHINES
Two types:
1-Cylindirical rotor: High speed, fuel or gas fired power plants
To produce 50 Hz electricity
p=2, n=3000 rpm
p=4, n=1500 rpm
2-Salient-pole rotor: Low speed, hydroelectric power plants
To produce 50 Hz electricity
p=12, n=500 rpm
p=24, n=250 rpm

2. 5.1 INTRODUCTION TO POLYPHASE SYNCHRONOUS MACHINES
How does a synchronous generator work?
1- Apply DC current to rotor winding
(field winding)
2- Rotate the shaft (rotor) with constant
speed.
3- Rotor magnetic field will create flux
linkages in stator coils and as a result
voltage will be produced because of
Faraday’s Law.
Why is impossible to rotate a synchronous motor when it is
connected to 50 Hz electric power?
Because before connecting to supply, the shaft speed of rotor is zero. If the motor is two-pole, when it is connected to 50 Hz supply it suddenly needs to rotate 3000 rpm. This is impossible for large synchronous motors.

3. 5.1 INTRODUCTION TO POLYPHASE SYNCHRONOUS MACHINES
How is DC current applied to the rotor?
1- Slip Rings
Note: Magnetic field of rotor can also be produced by permanent magnets for small machine applications
2- Brushless Excitation System:
Excitation supplied from ac exciter and solid rectifiers. The alternator of the ac exciter and the rectification system are on the rotor. The current is supplied directly to the field-winding without the need to slip rings.
