What else can I help you with?
Why would a generator produce high kvar output?
A generator would be forced to produce a high output kVAr if it has a lot of non-linear loads connected to it i.e. fluorescent lighting, switchmode power supplied equipment (PCs, old servers etc).
Why is the frequency of a synchronous generator locked into its rate of shaft rotation?
By definition a synchronous generator must be synchronous. If it is not "locked in" it is not a synchronous generator, but an induction machine.
Short Circuit test of a Synchronous Generator?
synchronous generator
Why is speed not normally used to control the armature voltage of a synchronous alternator?
Because if speed was used, the power system frequency would be changed. A synchronous generator spins at synchronous speeds. Synchronous generators 101: A typical synchronous generator will have a field winding (typically on the rotor, or rotating part) and a stator winding (the stationary part where power is supplied to the power grid). Current is injected into the field winding, turning it into an electromagnet. This field current is controlled by the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR). The more current supplied to the field winding, the stronger the electromagnet becomes, and the more power is required from the prime mover (whatever is supplying the power - steam turbine, for example) to keep the generator spinning at synchronous speeds.
Difference between synchronous generator and synchronous motor?
ASYNCHRONOUS is a mode whereby events happens irregardless of control. SYNCHRONOUS are this same events but controlled by a timing and/or control
How does the starting of synchronous motor using dc generator as a load work-?
Starting of the synchronous motor using the DC generator creates a magnetic field.
How many types of AC generator are there?
Induction type alternator and synchronous generator.
What is synchronous machein?
mainly alternator,synchronous motor comes under the synchronous machine.a synchronous motor is not a self starting motor.if a synchronous motor moves with more than synchronous speed then it acts as a synchronous generator.
Which type of generator is used in windmills?
Synchronous generators
What is a reverse KVAR relay?
The reverse KVAR relay protects a generator from a loss of excitation. When the excitation system is lost, reactive power will flow from the system back into the generator. When this happens, induced currents at twice the system frequency will flow in the rotor windings and rotor structure.
What is the governor of a synchronous generator?
The governor of the synchronous generator is the device that controls the torque of the rotor, and thus the frequency of the generated alternating current. This is important if the power plant is directly coupled to a transmission system.
What is the working principle of a Synchronous Generator?
synchronous generator is similar to the principle of laws of electro magnetic induction that is "whenever the magnetic flux linking in a conductor that time emf is induced at the ends of the conductor "
