Classification of Synchronous Generators | Electrical Engineering
The synchronous generators may be classified as: 1. Hydroelectric Generators 2. Turbo Alternators 3. Diesel-Engine Driven Synchronous Generators. 1. Hydroelectric Generators: The generators employed in hydroelectric power plants are three phase alternating current synchronous generators, called the alternators. Alternator consists essentially of two parts namely armature and field magnet system. The armature of an alternator is an iron ring, formed [...]
