Synchronization With Infinite Bus Bar

There is a specific procedure of connecting synchronous machine to infinite bus bars. Infinite bus bar is one which keeps constant voltage and frequency although load varies. The Fig. 1 shows a synchronous machine which is to be connected to the bus bars with the help of switch K.
        If the synchronous machine is running as a generator then its phase sequence should be some as that of bus bars. The machine speed and field current is adjusted in such a way so as to have the machine voltage same as that of bus bar voltage. The machine frequency should be nearly equal to bus bar frequency so that the machine speed is nearer to synchronous speed.
Fig. 1

        When the above conditions are satisfied, the instant of switching for synchronization should be determined. This can be determined by lamps dark method, Lamps bright and dark method or by using synchroscope.
       Once switch K is closed, the stator and rotor fields of the machine lock into each other and the machine then runs at synchronous speed. The real power exchange with the mains will be now governed by the loading conditions on the shaft while the reactive power exchange will be determined by field excitation.
      The same procedure is to be followed for synchronizing the synchronous motor to the infinite bus bars. The motor is run by an auxiliary device such as small dc or induction motor initially and then synchronized to the bus bars.
       As we know that the synchronous motors are not self starting hence if switch K is closed when rotor is stationary, the average torque will be zero as the two fields run at synchronous speed relative to each other so the motor fails to start. They are made self starting by providing short circuited bars on the rotor which produce torque as produced in case of induction motors.

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  ...

Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control of dc motor

Speed Control of D.C. Shunt Motor (Part2)  2. Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control        The speed is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the armature. As the supply voltage is normally constant, the voltage across the armature can be controlled by adding a variable resistance in series with the armature as shown in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Rheostat control of shunt motor        The field winding is excited by the normal voltage hence I sh is rated and constant in this method. Initially the reheostat position is minimum and rated voltage gets applied across the armature. So speed is also rated. For a given load, armature current is fixed. So when extra resistance is added in the armature circuit, I a remains same and there is voltage drop across the resistance added ( I a R). Hence voltage across the armature decreases, decreasing the speed below normal value. By varyi...
