what is the difference between the alternator used in hydro and thermal power plants??

Answer / man
difference is in the design of rotor being used in these two
cases.
1)In hydro plants since water falls on the turbine ,the
speed of water is less (as compared to steam in case of
thermal plants).
according to the relation, we have
f=(p*n)/120
p= no of poles
f= frequency
n= speed
so in order to have fixed frequency product of 'p' and 'n'
should be a constant.so p should be more(as n is less).
in order to accommodate more number of poles the diameter of
rotor should be large.
2)for thermal we have high speed of steam, so a long core
and small diameter rotor is required to limit the
centrifugal forces developed in the high sped rotor.

Answer / gopal manda
in hydro power we use salient pole type alternetor are use
because hydro turbine(Prime mover of alternator)is rotating
at 750 RPM.so it can't possible to manufacture/make 6 pole
on cylendrical rotor to maintain the power frequency.and in
thermal power plant steam tubine rotate at 3000 rpm so we
construct 2pole on its rotor/field winding for maintain the
frequency.so we use cylendrical rotor are use

How to find Cable size? Caterpillar generator produce (Two generators) 127*2=254 amp at 11 kv . What would be the cable size (XLPE) to supply 256 amp at 11 kv? Air or surrounding Temperature is 32 degree C. Cable will go under ground at 2.5 feet depth. Group Rating Factors is 3 cables. Clearance between cables is 7 cm. Soil Temperature (Ambient) 28o C Soil Thermal Resistivity is 1.2 K.m/W I would like to use 3 separate single core instead of using 3 core cable. Some says I should use three separate single core 120RM cables. Some says 70RM .some says 95. I m totally confused. Is there ant specific rule to determine cable size?
