A REVIEW COURSE ON INDUCTION, ALTERNATORS
AND SYNCHRONOUS MOTORS

Alternator

The process by which an electrical conductor becomes

electrified when near a charged body, by which a
magnetizable body becomes magnetized when in a
magnetic field or in the magnetic flux set up by magnetomotive force , or by which an electromotive force is
produced in a circuit by varying the magnetic field linked
with the circuit.

the production of an electromotive force across

a conductor when it is exposed to a time varying magnetic
field. It is described mathematically by Faraday's law of
induction, named after Michael Faraday, who is generally
credited with the discovery of induction in 1831.

Uses of Alternators

A machine which produces alternation

electricity.

It is a kind of generators which converts

mechanical energy into alternating electrical
energy. It is also known as synchronous
generator.

Synchronous Motor

an AC motor in which, at steady state, the rotation of

the shaft is synchronized with the frequency of the supply
current; the rotation period is exactly equal to an
integral number of AC cycles.

The power for electrical system of modern

vehicles produces from alternator.

-Although the electrical system of motor vehicles generally requires direct

current but still an alternator along with diode rectifier instead of a DC
generator is better choice as the complicated commutation is absent here.
This special type of generator which is used in vehicle is known as automotive
alternator.

Diesel electric locomotive.

-the engine of this locomotive is nothing but an alternator driven by diesel

engine. The alternating current produced by this generator is converted to DC
by integrated silicon diode rectifiers to feed all the dc traction motors. And
these dc traction motors drive the wheel of the locomotive.

Main Features of Synchronous Motors

Synchronous motors are inherently not self starting. They

require some external means to bring their speed close to
synchronous speed to before they are synchronized.

The speed of operation of is in synchronism with the supply

frequency and hence for constant supply frequency they
behave as constant speed motor irrespective of load
condition

This motor has the unique characteristics of operating under

any electrical power factor. This makes it being used in
electrical power factor improvement.

Importance and Application of

Electrical Equipment

Electrical equipment is essential to the continued success of

industry. The processes of refining, construction and manufacturing
depend on specialized electrical devices to ensure their smooth
operation and competitive output. These electrical devices usually
perform tasks that would be too difficult, monotonous, dangerous or
overly costly for a human worker to carry out.
