New Concepts:Proposition 1:- Effect of Speed on Frequency and Magnitude of Voltage:When speed of prime mover is increased then the frequency and magnitude of generated e.m.f.
increases.
Concept Structure 1:-
Proposition 2: Synchronising of Alternators:The process of connecting an alternator in parallel with another alternator or with common bus bars
is known as synchronizing. The conditions to be satisfied for synchronising are (i)
Terminal voltages should be equal.
(ii)
Frequency of EMF generated should be equal.
(iii)
Phase sequence of each alternator should be same.
