Input/Output voltage relationship for alternator

Click For 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:
 
Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
