About this document
Overview of Synchronous Generators by Aman Ansari is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Synchronous machines consist of a stator and rotor. In a synchronous generator, a DC current applied to the rotor winding produces a rotating magnetic field that induces a 3-phase voltage in the stator winding. Synchronous motors operate in reverse - a 3-phase stator current produces a rotating magnetic field that aligns the rotor field. Large synchronous machines use brushless exciters to supply DC current to the rotor via slip rings, avoiding maintenance issues of brushes. Brushless exciters utilize a sma
