Question:medium

Which method provides the most accurate results for the voltage regulation of a non-salient pole alternator?

Show Hint

Poitier triangle method gives more accurate voltage regulation because it separates leakage reactance and armature reaction.

Top Questions on Synchronising of Alternators

If an alternator has a flux per pole of \(0.05\ \text{Wb}\), a frequency of \(50\ \text{Hz}\), and \(100\) turns per phase (assume pitch factor and distribution factor is \(1\)), the RMS phase emf is approximately
