Cooling of a Synchronous Generator
Synchronous generators require adequate cooling in order to ensure proper functionality. Natural cooling processes do not sufficiently provide enough cooling to the alternators. Therefore, forced

Synchronous Generator-Construction and Working Principle
This article describes the construction and working principle of a synchronous generator (also called an alternator). So, let us start with the basic introduction of
Difference between Generator and Inverter
A generator is an electromechanical machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. While an inverter is an electronic device that converts direct current (DC)
Hunting in Synchronous Motor- Causes, Effects & Reduction
In this article, we will discuss hunting in a synchronous motor. But before that let us first know a bit about a synchronous motor. A
Difference between Synchronous & Asynchronous Motor
In this article, we will discuss the differences between synchronous motor and asynchronous motor. But before that, let’s see what an electric motor, synchronous motor,
Losses and Efficiency of an Alternator
This article describes the losses and efficiency of an alternator. An Alternator is an electromechanical machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is
Difference between Salient Pole & Non-Salient Pole Rotor
In this article, we shall discuss the differences between Salient Pole & Non-Salient Pole Rotor. In electrical machines, the rotor is a moving or rotating
Rotor Earth Fault Protection of Alternator or Generator
In this article, we will discuss the rotor earth fault protection of alternator or synchronous generator. A synchronous generator is the main energy source and
Voltage Regulation of Alternator or Synchronous Generator
The voltage regulation of an alternator or synchronous generator is defined as the change in the terminal voltage of the generator on the application of
What is Winding Factor?
Definition: Winding Factor is the product of the Distribution factor (Kd) and the coil span factor (Kc). The main purpose of the winding factor is
