Because it rotates at a constant (i.e.synchronous speed ) no matter whats the load on alternator.For instance if its a 2 pole machine it will rotate at 3000 rpm to produce a frequency of 50 Hz in India.

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.


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


When alternator will act as induction generator?

when its speed becomes greater than the synchronous speed.


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.

What is Regulation of alternator by synchronous impedance method?

It is conducting OC and SC tests on the given three phase alternator and determining the regulation by synchronous impedance method.


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.
