An eight-pole wave-connected armature has 600 conductors and is driven at 625 rev/min. If the flux per pole is 20 mWb, determine the generated emf.
Let, E→EMF in volt φ→Flux in weber A→Parallel path (for wave winding = 2) Z→No. of armature conductors N→speed in rpm P = Number of poles E = PφNZ/(60A) E = 8*0.020*625/(60*2) E = 500 V
For lagging power factor = (IR*cosφ + Ixsinφ)/Vr For leading power factor = (IR*cosφ - Ixsinφ)/Vr Zero voltage regulation occurs on leading power factor only.
Symmetrical breaking current: It is the rms value of a a.c component of the current in the pole at the instant of contact separation.
Asymmetrical breaking current: It is the rms value of the total current comprising the a.c and d.c components of the current in the pole at the instant of contact separation.
