Input/Output voltage relationship for alternator

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the output voltage of an alternator's stator coils based on the excitation voltage of the rotor coils. The user has access to relevant data such as windings per pole, coil resistance, and RPM, and seeks an efficient method for approximation. They propose calculating the magnetic field strength in the rotor corresponding to different excitation voltages and the frequency of magnetic field interactions with the stator poles at various RPMs. The user acknowledges the importance of Back EMF, noting its relevance to both motors and generators. Overall, they are looking for a reasonably accurate solution without delving into overly complex calculations.

Hello again,

I'm here with a request for some advice. Hopefully I won't need as much this time as it's something I'm a bit more clued up on :rolleyes:

I'm trying to work out what output voltage will occur on the stator coils of my alternator in relation to the excitation voltage in the rotor coils.

I can obtain data such as windings per pole, resistance of coil, rpm and others because I have direct access to it.

Before I go steaming off down what would surely turn-out to be the long way round does anyone have an idea for a good acceptably accurate solution?

I was thinking of working out the strength of the magnetic field in the rotor for given excitation voltages and working out how many times it passed through the poles on the stator for various rpm's. Would this be a good way to start?

Bear in mind I'm only looking for a reasonably accurate approximation, not something ultra accurate :smile:

Back EMF seems like it would be a consideration.
Certainly a factor in motors.
Don't know how it applies to generators.
 
I suppose given that both rotor and stator coils are basically large inductors this would indeed be an issue. Thanks for pointing it out :wink:
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
