Considering the project rating, we propose Cylindrical Pole Rotors for the Generators. Advantages of Cylindrical Pole construction over the Salient Pole construction are stated as

under:-

• Cylindrical rotor is mechanically more balanced than salient pole rotor.

• The pole bolts in salient pole rotor are more susceptible to shearing off at higher / runaway speed.

• Due to uniform air gap in cylindrical rotor construction, the

SCR value is higher.

• Reduced peripheral velocity as diameter of rotor is smalland axial length is longer.

• Less windage (air resistance) losses.

• Nearly sinusoidal flux distribution around the periphery and therefore, gives a better EMF waveform than that obtainable with salient pole field structure.

• Cylindrical pole generators are lesser in weight compared to salient pole generator.

All generator manufacturers are offering cylindrical rotor generators for this rating of generators and many references

are there with cylindrical rotor generators which

successfully.
