We know that in a synchronous generator or alternator when the conductor of the rotor cuts the alternating magnetic flux lines produced by the stator or field winding an EMF will induce in the rotor conductor ( according to the faraday's law ). Eventually, this emf circulates currents the rotor conductors. Let us see the expression for induced emf in the rotor conductors.
E.M.F Equation :
Let,
Zph = Number of conductors in series / phase
= 2 T, where T is the number of turns / phase
P = Number of poles
φ = Useful flux per pole in weber
f = Frequency of the induced emf equal to NP / 120 Hz
N = Rotational speed in rpm
P = Number of poles
φ = Useful flux per pole in weber
f = Frequency of the induced emf equal to NP / 120 Hz
N = Rotational speed in rpm
