CALCULATION FOR VOLTAGE REGULATION

The voltage regulation up is expressed mathematically by
images
Positive sign is for lagging power factor and negative sign is for leading power factor.

1.31.1 Zero Voltage Regulation

For lagging power factor and unity power factor, 0V2 > V2. Therefore, we get positive voltage regulation. For leading power factor, V2 starts increasing. At a certain leading power factor, 0V2 = V2 and hence regulation becomes zero. If the load power factor is further increased, 0V2 becomes less than V2 and hence regulation becomes negative. For zero voltage regulation, we have
0V2 – V2 = 0
i.e.,     I2(R02cosθ–X02sinθ)=0

Equation (1.56) shows the leading power factor at which voltage regulation becomes zero.

1.31.2 Condition for Maximum Voltage Regulation

Maximum voltage regulation can be obtained for lagging power factor. For maximum voltage regula-tion, we have
images
i.e.,      –R02sinθ+X02cosθ=0
i.e., images
This is satisfied only when the power factor of the load is lagging. The regulation is maximum when the load power factor angle is equal to the impedance angle of the transformer.
i.e.,      images
Equation (1.58) shows the power factor of the load at which voltage regulation is maximum.
Figure 1.41 shows the variation of regulation with the power factor of the load. Figure 1.41 also shows that regulation becomes maximum when the power factor of the load is lagging and it becomes zero when the power factor is leading.

Practical Commutation

The e.m.f. induced in each coil of armature is alternating in nature. If load is connected, the current flowing will also be alternating. But the flow of current in a d.c. generator must be undirectional. This can be achieved by the use of commutator. When the armature conductors are under the influence of one pole they carry current in one direction whereas the current is reversed when the conductors are under the influence of other pole. This reversal of current takes place along the magnetic neutral axis. Fig. 1 Note : The reversal of current is likely to take place in short interval when a coil is short circuited by a brush so that transfer of current from one direction to other is carried out without any sparking. This process is called commutation.        Thus a process by which current in the short circuited coil is reversed while it crosses the MNA is called commutation. The time during which the coil remains short circuited is known as...

Demagnetising and Cross Magnetizing Conductors

The conductors which are responsible for producing demagnetizing and distortion effects are shown in the Fig.1. Fig. 1        The brushes are lying along the new position of MNA which is at angle θ  from GNA. The conductors in the region AOC = BOD = 2θ  at the top and bottom of the armature are carrying current in such a direction as to send the flux in armature from right to left. Thus these conductors are in direct opposition to main field and called demagnetizing armature conductors.         The remaining armature conductors which are lying in the region AOD and BOC carry current in such a direction as to send the flux pointing vertically downwards i.e. at right angles to the main field flux. Hence these conductors are called cross magnetizing armature conductors which will cause distortion in main field flux.        These conductors are shown in the Fig. 2 Fig. 2  ...

Winding Pitches

Now we will consider the definitions of different types of winding pitches, required in the design of the armature winding. 1.1 Back Pitch         The distance which is measured interns of armature conductors i.e. between top and bottom coil sides of a coil measured around the back of the armature i.e. away from the commutator is called back pitch and is denoted by . It is measured interms of coil sides. Note : Since it is difference between odd and even number, it is always odd number.        The size of the coil is decided by the back pitch. The back pitch is normally equal to coilsides per pole. It is shown for lap and wave type of winding in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1        The back pitch for the winding shown in the Fig. 1 is y b = 14 - 1 = 13 as coilsides 1and 14 are of coil number 1. 1.2 Front Pitch        It is defined as the distance measured between two c...
