A construction diagram of a three-phase ac generator is shown in Fig. 9. There is a rotor<br />

which is supplied a direct current I f through slip rings. The current I f produces a flux Φ.<br />

This flux couples into three identical coils, marked aa ′ , bb ′ ,andcc ′ , spaced 120 o apart, and<br />

produces three voltage waveforms of the same magnitude but 120 electrical degrees apart.<br />

Figure 9: Three-phase generator<br />

The equivalent circuit for one phase of this ac generator is shown in Fig. 10. It is shown in<br />

electrical machinery texts that the magnitude of the generated rms electromotive force (emf)<br />

E is given by<br />

|E| = k 1 ωΦ (28)<br />

where ω =2πf is the electrical radian frequency, Φ is the flux per pole, and k 1 is a constant<br />

which includes the number of poles and the number of turns in each winding. The reactance X s<br />

is the synchronous reactance of the generator in ohms/phase. The generator reactance changes<br />

from steady-state to transient operation, and X s is the steady-state value. The resistance R s<br />

represents the resistance of the conductors in the generator windings. It is normally much<br />

smaller than X s , so is normally neglected except in efficiency calculations. The synchronous<br />

impedance of the winding is given the symbol Z s = R s + jX s .<br />

The voltage E is the open circuit voltage and is sometimes called the voltage behind<br />

synchronous reactance. It is the same as the voltage E a of Fig. 8.<br />

The three coils of the generator can be connected together in either wye or delta, although<br />

the wye connection shown in Fig. 8 is much more common. When connected in wye, E is the<br />

line to neutral voltage and one has to multiply it by √ 3 to get the magnitude of the line-to-line<br />

voltage.<br />

The frequency f of the generated emf is given by<br />
