A 3-phase alternator has 3-slots per pole. The distribution factor of winding is

A 3-phase alternator has 3-slots per pole. The distribution factor of winding is:

  1. 1
  2. 0.25
  3. 0.5
  4. 0.866

Correct answer: 1. 1

Solution: Distribution factor Kd is

Kd = {sin (nβ/2}/{ n sin(β/2)}

Where in the above equation

n = slots per pole per phase

β = Angular displacement between slots = 180° per slots per pole

In the present case n = 3/3 = 1

β = 180°/3 = 60°

Kd = {sin (1*60°/2}/{ 1*sin(60°/2)} = 1

The rating of an alternator is expressed in

The rating of an alternator is expressed in:

  1. HP
  2. kW
  3. kVA
  4. kVAR

Correct answer: 3. kVA
