Series Generators

When the field winding is connected in series with the armature winding while supplying the load then the generator is called series generator. It is shown in the Fig. 1.

Field winding, in this case is denoted as S₁and S₂. The resistance of series field winding is very small and hence naturally it has less number of turns of thick cross-section wire as shown in the Fig. 1.

Fig. 1 Series generators

Let R_sebe the resistance of the series field winding.

1.1 Voltage and current Relations

As all armature, field and load are in series they carry the same current.

.^.. I_a= I_se= I_L

Where I_se= Current through series field winding.

Now in addition to drop I_aR_a, induced e.m.f. has to supply voltage drop across series field winding too. This isI_seR_se i.e. I_aR_se as I_a= I_se. So voltage equations can be written as,

E = V_t+ I_aR_a+ I_aR_se+ V_brush

.^.. E = V_t+ I_a(R_a+ R_se) + Vbrush

where E = (ΦPNZ)/(60A)

Condition for Maximum Power Developed In Synchronous Motor

The value of δ for which the mechanical power developed is maximum can be obtained as, Note : Thus when R a is negligible, θ = 90 o for maximum power developed. The corresponding torque is called pull out torque. 1.1 The Value of Maximum Power Developed The value of maximum power developed can be obtained by substituting θ = δ in the equation of P m . When R a is negligible, θ = 90 o and cos (θ) = 0 hence, . . . R a = Z s cosθ and X s = Z s sinθ Substituting cosθ = R a /Z s in equation (6b) we get, Solving the above quadratic in E b we get, As E b is completely dependent on excitation, the equation (8) gives the excitation limits for any load for a synchronous motor. If the excitation exceeds this limit, the motor falls out of step. 1.2 Condition for Excitation When Motor Develops ( P m ) R max Let us find excitation condition for maximum power developed. The excitation

Effect of Slip on Rotor Parameters : Part2

Effect of Slip on Rotor Parameters 2. Effect of Slip on Magnitude of Rotor Induced E.M.F We have seen that when rotor is standstill, s = 1, relative speed is maximum and maximum e.m.f. gets induced in the rotor. Let this e.m.f. be, E 2 = Rotor induced e.m.f. per phase on standstill condition As rotor gains speed, the relative speed between rotor and rotating magnetic field decreases and hence induced e.m.f. in rotor also decreases as it is proportional to the relative speed N s - N. Let this e.m.f. be, E 2r = Rotor induced e.m.f. per phase in running condition Now E 2r α N s while E 2r α N s - N Dividing the two proportionality equations, E 2r /E 2 = ( N s - N)/N s but (N s - N)/N = slip s E 2r /E 2 = s E 2r = s E 2 The magnitude of the induced e.m.f in the rotor also reduces by slip times the
