What are the main effects of losses on the performance of the alternator?

What two factors affect the frequency of an alternator? What is the advantage of taking the output from the stator in a rotating-field alternator? What is an exciter? What is the purpose of the diodes in an automobile alternator? 4

A 6 pole wave wound d.c. shunt generator has 500 conductors. A generator delivers 50 kW of power at 250 voltage at full load. The resistance of the field circuit is 125 2. Actual brush shift is 10°. Then find the demagnetizing and cross magnetizing ampere turns per pole and how many additional turns must be wound on each pole to eliminate the demagnetizing effect.

How can the phase rotation of one alternator be changed in relationship to the other alternator?

D2. When a generator's full-load output voltage is the same as its no-load output voltage it is said to be a) under-compounded b) flat-compounded c) over-compounded d) none of the above D3. The output of an overcompounded DC generator can be lowered by use of a a) rheostat connected in series with the series field b) rheostat connected in parallel with the series field c) rheostat connected in parallel with the shunt field d) none of the above D4. When might it be desirable to use an overcompounded generator? a) never b) always c) to compensate for line loss d) when you need a higher no-load voltage than your full-load voltage
