4.2 INTRODUCTION TO AC AND DC MACHINES
AC Machines: Synchronous Machines and Induction Machines
Synchronous Machines:
•Two-pole, single phase machine
•Rotor rotates with a constant speed
•Constraction is made such that airgap flux density is sinusoidal
•Sinusoidal flux distribution results
with sinusoidal induced voltage
(a) Space distribution of flux density and
(b) corresponding waveform of the generated voltage for the singlephase generator.

•Four-pole, single phase machine
•a1,-a1 and a2,-a2 windings connected
in series
•The generator voltage goes through
two complete cycles per revolution of
the rotor. The frequency in hertz will
be twice the speed in revolutions per
second.

Field winding is a two-pole
distributed winding
Winding distributed in multiple
slots and arranged to produce
sinusoidal distributed air-gap
flux.
Why some synchronous
generators have salient-pole
rotor while others have
cylindirical rotors?
Answer: In salient-pole
machines the number of poles
can be large therefore they will
be able to operate in slow speed
to produce 50 Hz voltage.

Induction Machines:
•The stator winding excited
by ac current. The current
produces a rotating magnetic
field which in turn produces
currents in rotor conductors
due to induction.
•These machines mostly used
as motors.
•Rotor windings are short
circuited (electrically) and
frequently have no external
connections.
•Stator and rotor fluxes rotate
in synchronism with each
other and that torque is
related to the relative
displacement between them.
•Rotor does not rotate
synchronously

Example 4.1: The phase-a two-pole armature winding of figure below can be
considered to consists of 8 Nc-turn full-pitch coils connected in series, with
each slot contaning two coils. There are a total of 24 armature slots, and thus
each slot is separated by 3600 /24=150. Assume angle θa is measures from the
magnetic axis of phase a such that the four slots containing the coil sides
labeled a are at 67.50, 82.50, 97.50, and 112.50. The opposite sides of each coil
are thus found in the slots found at -112.50, -97.50, -82.50, and 67.50,
respectively. Assume this winding to be carrying current ia.
a) Write an expression for the space-fundamental mmf produced by the two coils
whose sides are in the slots at θa=112.50 and -67.50.
b) Write an expression for the space-fundamental mmf produced by the two coils
whose sides are in the slots at θa=67.50 and -112.50.
c) Write an expression for the space-fundamental mmf of the complete armature
winding.
d) Determine the winding factor kw for this distributed winding.

Example 4.2: A four-pole synchronous ac generator
with a smooth air gap has a distributed rotor
winding with 263 series turns, a winding factor of
0.935, and an air gap of length 0.7 mm. Assuming
the mmf drop in the electrical steel to be negligible,
find the rotor-winding current required to produce a
peak, space-fundamental magnetic flux density of
1.6 T in the machine air gap.
