ac generator construction and principal
Answers
Answer:
Construction of AC Generator:
An AC Generator essentially consists of two main parts: Stator and Rotor. Stator is the stationary part of machine whereas rotor is rotating part. A prime mover is coupled to this rotor to supply mechanical energy.
Working Principle of AC Generator:
The basic working principle of AC Generator is based on faraday’s law. When the rotor of AC Generator is rotated by prime-mover, the magnetic flux linkage with the stationary armature winding (mounted on Stator) changes. Due to this an emf is induced in the armature winding. If load is connected, an AC current starts flowing through the load due to the induced emf. This is how an AC Generator works.
Let us consider the figure below to better understand the AC generator working principle. In the figure, a single armature winding is considered for the sake of simplicity. A permanent magnet is taken as rotor instead of rotor with field winding. Rotor is assumed to be rotating in clockwise direction.
AC generator working
In the above figure, the rotor field axis and armature winding axis coincides. Therefore the flux linkage is maximum at this instant of time and hence maximum emf will be induced. Consequently, maximum current will flow through the load RL. The direction of current is governed by lenz’s law. The current will flow from D-A-B-C-D.
Now, rotor is rotated further by 90 degree in clockwise direction as shown below.
AC generator working-1
At this instant, rotor axis and armature winding axis are perpendicular to each other. Therefore, there will not be any mutual coupling between them. Thus no emf will be induced in the stator (armature winding). Hence no current will flow through the load RL at this instant.
A further rotation of rotor by 90 degree causes stator axis and rotor axis to coincide again. Hence flux linkage will again be maximum. Subsequently, maximum current will flow through the load.
AC generator working-2
But there is one key difference here. In this case, the current has reversed its direction. This is just because the direction of flux linkage has reversed as can be seen from the figure. The direction of current is along C-B-A-D-C.
The analysis for further rotor rotation can easily be done in the same manner. The AC generator output current waveform with rotor position is shown below.
