If number of poles of alternator is increased, the generated EMF

If number of poles of alternator is increased, the generated EMF:

1. Increases
2. Decreases
3. Remains constant
4. None of these

Correct answer: 1. Increases

Explanation:

EMF generated per phase E = 2.22 fZΦ

f = NP/120

1. A DC machine
2. An induction machine
3. A synchronous machine
4. All the above machines

Correct answer: 3. A synchronous machine

In order to produce an EMF of given frequency, an alternator will run at greatest speed for what number of poles

In order to produce an EMF of given frequency, an alternator will run at greatest speed for what number of poles:

1. 2

In armature winding of an alternator, the coil span falls short of full-pitch by 60° (electrical). The pitch factor will be

In armature winding of an alternator, the coil span falls short of full-pitch by 60° (electrical). The pitch factor will be:

1. 0.25
2. 0.5
3. 0.866
4. None of these

Correct answer: 3. 0.866

Explanation: Pitch factor (Kp) = cos (α/2) = cos(60°/2) = 0.866
