actully when load of alternator fluctuates it changes the torque at primovers which changes amps so terminal voltage of alternator changes.

What is the effect in output for changing input frequency in halfwave rectifier?

if filtered and loaded the average DC voltage will increase and the ripple AC voltage will decrease, but the peak voltage is unchanged. this is because the filter capacitor has less time to discharge into the load.if unfiltered or unloaded the voltage cannot change. unfiltered the waveform just follows the half cycle of the input. if filtered but unloaded the output is DC at the peak voltage of the input AC.


What is ferro-resonance effects?

The effects of ferro-resonance are the ungrounded primary transformers, higher distribution in the voltage systems. Other effects are the lightly loaded transformers.


Why during loading the voltage get decreased at output?

Output voltage (...of a transformer, for example...) will decrease as it is loaded because of the transformer's internal resistance. As output current increases/load resistance decreases, a larger voltage will be dropped across the internal transformer resistance. This same phenomenon is present in AC and DC systems (such as batteries).


Determine the secondary and primary current for a transformer which has primary voltage 1440V and secondary 240V and turns ratio of 6 if the secondary is loaded with a resistive load of 60 ohms?

An ideal lossless transformer with a primary voltage of 1440 and a secondary voltage of 240 will deliver 4 amperes to a 60 ohm load by ohms law 240 volts divided by 60 ohms causes 4 amperes to flow through the 60 ohm load. The power delivered to the 60 ohm load will be 4 amperes times the 240 volts or 960 watts. The current in the primary is divided by the primary to secondary ratio of 6. Thus, the primary current will be 4 amperes divided by 6 or 2/3 ampere. The power going into the primary will be 1440 volts times 2/3 amperes or 960 watts. In a real transformer there is losses that make the numbers change. The output voltage will be slightly less and the resistance and reactance of the windings lower the output.

Why does an alternators voltage rise when it is loaded down with a leading load?

Because in the leading load or capacitive load the armature reaction is magnetizing.Here the stator flux adds up rotor flux and so the net flux of alternator increases and the net flux produces alternator's voltage.Hence the alternator's voltage rises.

because the voltage likes to drop


What is voltage regulation?

Voltage regulation:(from point of view of electrical machines or generator): It is the change in voltage in between the full loaded and no loaded condition. When there are no loads connected the terminal voltage is equal to the generated voltage in the generator. But when load is connected the terminal voltage is found to be lass than the no loaded condition, due to armature resistance leakage reactance.This phenomena is expressed as, % reg=(Vnl-Vfl)/Vfl * 100%.Which is Voltage regulation. ************************************************************ An ideal voltage source has zero internal impedance. A practical one, even a good one, has internal impedance. With no load on the source, the terminal voltage will have a given value. Once a load current is drawn there will be a voltage drop across the source's internal impedance, and the terminal voltage will therefore drop. The higher the load current, the higher the voltage drop. A regulator circuit, added after the source, can counter the effect of the source's impedance and maintain an output voltage which is more constant than the source itself can achieve.


What is the reason for ferranti effect?

Ferranti Effect causes the receiving end voltage to be more than the sending end voltage. It occurs mainly in long transmission lines when they are lightly loaded. In this condition, the inductance of the lines becomes more resulting in increased receiving end voltage.


What is residual voltage for DC generator?

This case arises only in series dc generator current should be sent around the poles to magnetize. this current can the source(generator). current is passed through poles if it is loaded. but if it is not loaded current is zero through the field. load voltage should be zero actually.but this dont happen.we use generator frequently.due to this poles are partially magnetized this causes some voltage appear called residual voltageAnswerThere's no such thing as 'residual voltage'; you're confusing it with 'residual magnetism', which exists in the magnetic poles of a self-excited d.c. generator and which enables the build-up of its terminal voltage.

What is the effect of transformer impedance on regulation?

The lower the impedance, the lower the voltage drop across the transformer as it is loaded. This means regulation is better, since voltage variance is smaller.


What is the effect of low impedance transformer on regulation?

The lower the impedance, the lower the voltage drop across the transformer as it is loaded. This means regulation is better, since voltage variance is smaller.

Will the time period of loaded spring change when taken to moon?

No.Time period of a loaded spring depends on mass and spring constant which are same on Earth aswell as moon.
