Operation at Constant Excitation with Variable Load

Alternators

The radius of the circle is magnitude of induced e.m.f. E which remains same under variable load condition as the excitation provided to the alternator is maintained constant.

Operation at Constant Excitation with Variable Load

Let us consider a case in which the excitation is kept constant while the load is varied. With constant excitation, magnitude of induced e.m.f. remains constant. The locus of extremity of E is a circle. The phasor diagram corresponding to this condition is shown in the Fig. 3.8.1.


The radius of the circle is magnitude of induced e.m.f. E which remains same under variable load condition as the excitation provided to the alternator is maintained constant.

Review Question

1. Explain the operation of an alternator at constant excitation with variable load.
