Frequency is a function of engine speed and the number of poles in the generator end. For instance, a speed of 1500 RPM turning a four-pole generator will produce 50 hz. The formula is: Frequency = (poles/2) * (RPM/60) From the formula, you can see that the same frequency would be produced by a two-pole generator spinning at 3000 RPM.

How do you step the frequency from 50hz to 60hz?

The frequency of a grid system is set by the rotation of the generating equipment. If you have a small generator, the frequency can be increased by increasing the speed in revolutions per minute of the engine driving the generator.


What happens to the output in terms of real power of a generator when you change the voltage and frequency say from 220v 50Hz to 110v 60Hz?

The voltage and frequency ARE the output of the generator. If you change the fuel to the generator, it will change speed, and the voltage will change. Less fuel = less speed = lower frequency = lower voltage.

What modifications must be done if 50Hz generator is to be used at 60 Hz?

To run a 50Hz generator at 60Hz, you would need to adjust the engine speed to match the increased frequency. This could require modifications to the governor system to ensure the engine is running at the correct speed. Additionally, you may need to upgrade the insulation on the generator windings to handle the higher frequency without overheating.

What is turbine rated speed and What is maximum speed rise of steam turbine?

Turbine rated speed varies mainaly on the factors of Generating frequency and means of coupling to generator (viz trough a gear box or directly coupled and no.poles in generator). For exmple a 50hz generting frequency and a bi-pole genarator the turbine speed is 3000RPM. The allowed speed rise also depends on turbine design and generator operational range. Generaly the speed rise is restricted to Maximum of 10% of the rated speed.

Is 5kva the same as 50hz?

No. 5Kva is a power rating, standing for 5 kilovolt/Amps, 5,000 v/a. This is how much a generator or tranformer can handle or output. 50Hz is the frequency of an A/C waveform, power supply, generally used in the UK and influenced countries. 50 cycles per second.
