ALTERNATOR
An alternator is an electrical generator that converts
mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form
of alternating current. For reasons of cost and simplicity,
most alternators use a rotating magnetic with a
stationary armature. Occasionally, a linear alternator or a
rotating armature with a stationary magnetic field is used.
In principle, any AC electrical generator can be called an
alternator, but usually the term refers to small rotating
machines driven by automotive and other internal
combustion engines. An alternator that uses a permanent
magnet for its magnetic field is called a magneto.
Alternators in power stations driven by steam
turbines are called turbo-alternators. Large 50 or
60 Hz phase alternators in power plants generate most of
the world's electric power, which is distributed by electric
power grids.
Specific applications
Electric generator:
Most power generation stations use synchronous
machines as their generators .connections of these
generator to this utility grid requires synchronization
conditions to be met
Automotive alternator
Alternators are used in modern automobiles to charge
the battery and to power the electrical system when its
3. 3
engine is running. Until the 1960s, automobiles used
DC dynamo generators with commentators.With the
availability of affordable silicon diode rectifiers,
alternators were used instead. Diesel electric
locomotive alternators In later diesel electric
locomotives and diesel electric multiple units, the
prime mover turns an alternator which provides
electricity for the traction motors (AC or DC).The
traction alternator usually incorporates integral silicon
diode rectifiers to provide the traction motors with up
to 1200 volts DC (DC traction, which is used directly)
or the common inverter bus (AC traction, which is first
inverted from dc to three-phase ac).The first diesel
electric locomotives, and many of those still in service,
use DC generators as, before silicon power
electronics, it was easier to control the speed of DC
traction motors. Most of these had two generators: one
to generate the excitation current for a larger main
generator. Optionally, the generator also supplies head
end power (HEP) or power for electric train heating.
The HEP option requires a constant engine speed,
typically 900 RPM for a 480 V 60 Hz HEP application,
even when the locomotive is not moving.
Marine alternators
Marine alternators used in yachts are similar to
automotive alternators, with appropriate adaptations to
the salt-water environment. Marine alternators are
designed to be explosion proof so that brush sparking
4. 4
will not ignite explosive gas mixtures in an engine
room environment.They may be 12 or 24 volt
depending on the type of system installed. Larger
marine diesels may have two or more alternators to
cope with the heavy electrical demand of a modern
yacht. On single alternator circuits, the power may be
split between the engine starting battery and the
domestic or house battery (or batteries) by use of
a split-charge diode (battery isolator) or a voltage-
sensitive relay.
Radio alternators
High frequency alternators of the variable-reluctance
type were applied commercially to radio transmission
in the low-frequency radio bands.These were used for
transmission of Morse code and, experimentally, for
transmission of voice and music. In the Alexanderson
alternator, both the field winding and armature winding
are stationary, and current is induced in the armature
by virtue of the changing magnetic reluctance of the
rotor (which has no windings or current carrying parts).
Such machines were made to produce radio frequency
current for radio transmissions, although the efficiency
was low.

EXCITERS
Excitation systems is required to provide the necessary
field current to the
Rotor winding of a synchronous machine .Availability of
Excitation at all time
Important, Larger the lead current, lower the speeds and
lagging power factor
Which require more excitations
