Consider a coil rotating at a speed of N rpm in the field of P poles. As the coil moves past successive north the south poles, one complete cycle is generated. What is the frequency of the generated voltage?
1. \(\frac{{PN}}{{60}}\)
2. \(\frac{{PN}}{{120}}\)
3. \(\frac{{120\;P}}{N}\)
4. \(\frac{{120\;f}}{P}\)

Correct Answer - Option 2 : \(\frac{{PN}}{{120}}\)

Expression for frequency in a Generator:

  • 3-phase supply with a frequency of ‘f’ is given to the 3-phase distributed winding the rotating magnetic field is set up by the windings.
  •  The speed of the rotating magnetic field is in synchronous with supply frequency and hence called synchronous speed ‘N’ (in rpm).
  • 3-phase windings are wound for specific even number of poles ‘P’, 2/4/6/8…
  • One cycle of AC current through the windings make the pole axes to move along one pair of poles (P/2).
  • Hence fs cycle per second AC current will give rise the speed of rotating magnetic field as :

 \(\frac{N}{{60}} = \frac{f}{{\frac{{\rm{P}}}{2}}}\) rps.

  • Rearrangement of the above equation will give the equation for synchronous speed in rpm as:

\(N = \frac{{120 \times {\rm{f}}}}{{\rm{P}}}\) rpm.

  • Frequency is expressed as \(\frac{{NP}}{{120}}\) Hertz.
