Questions:
1. A 3 phase, 16 pole alternator has the following data: Number of slots = 192;
Conductors/slot=8, coil span = 160o electrical; speed of the alternator= 375 rpm; flux per
pole = 55 mWb. Calculate the phase and line voltages. [CO1,L3]
2. For a 3-phase winding with 4 slots/ pole/ phase and with the coil span of 10 slots pitch,
calculate the values of the pitch factor and distribution factor. [CO1,L3]
3. A 4 pole alternator has an armature with 25 slots and 8 conductors per slot and rotates at
1500 rpm and the flux per pole is 0.05 Wb. Calculate the EMF generated, if winding
factor is 0.96 and all the conductors are in series. [CO1, L3]
4. A 2200 V, 3 phase alternator is running at 300 rpm and has 24 poles. Calculate the
number of conductors in the stator winding, if the magnetic flux is 5 ×10 -2 Wb/pole.
Assume distribution factor as 0.96. [CO1,L3]
5. A 3 phase 16 pole alternator has star connected winding with 144 slots and 10
conductors per slot. The flux per pole is 0.04 Wb and is distributed sinusoidally. The
speed is 375 rpm. Calculate the frequency, phase EMF and line EMF. The coil span is
120o electrical. [CO1,L3]
6. A 3 phase, 4-pole star connected alternator has 60 slots with 2 conductors/slot, The pole
pitch of the coil is 3 slot less than the pole pitch. The flux/pole is 12.5 ×10 ^-2 Wb
sinusoidally distributed. Calculate the no-load terminal voltage for a frequency of 50 Hz.
