You can not have fixed north and south poles in the field
with 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

the working principle of syn/mac. is mag. locking which is
not possible in ac
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 9 Yes | 1 No |
Answer / lokesh
We need a statoinary magnetic flux in synchronous machine,
this flux will be cut by the rotor.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 7 Yes | 7 No |
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.

whenever any squirrel or a crow falls on the transformer input line then there is a big explosion and 440 volts of power is being discharged through the neutral line due to which appliances in off mode are also burned.we have earthing for the transformer as well as the bus bar chamber.why is it happening?
When calculating the speed of a rotor required for a particular frequency of synchronous generator we use the equation 60f/p Is this p is the number of pole pairs of rotor & do we consider the number of pole pairs in the stator is 1?
