Question

Difference between salient pole and non salient pole

Answer 1

Answer:

The differences between salient pole rotors and non-salient pole rotors are listed below—

• Salient Pole rotors have comparatively larger radius(or diameter) than that of the non-salient pole rotors.

Salient pole rotors have axial length of smaller size as compared to those present in non-salient pole rotors.

• Salient pole rotors have most widely used in hydroelectric powerplants while the non-salient pole rotors are generally used in thermal(or nuclear) power plants.

Salient pole rotors require damper windings for proper functioning while the non salient rotors have no such need.

• Salient pole rotors usually function with 4 to 60 poles while the non-salient rotors usually function with 2 to 4 poles only.

Salient pole motors are preferably used in machines with lower speed while non-salient motors are used in machines with high speed.
