WHY EXCITATION OF SYNCHRONOUS MACHINE IS DC NOT AC..

Answer / raja

When ac supply is provided, the poles will alternate between north and south pole for each half cycle of supply. so there wont be any magnetic interlocking with stator to run at synchronous speed as the polarity changes at the rate of supply frequency. hence for magnetic locking DC supply is used for excitation

WHY EXCITATION OF SYNCHRONOUS MACHINE IS DC NOT AC..

Answer / anil

Yes we can have a ac in rotor.But then we will not call it as a rotor.It will be stationary but this rotor has to be connected to a 3phase supply .Then it will produce a rotating magnetic field which will interact with the stator and create emf.
