Alternators are invariably star connected why?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / dkmathur
Because it is a must that we earth the star (neutral) point
at generating point for safety & protection of equipment /
system.

Answer / abhishek sharma
To save copper in tems of money because in star connection
phase vol = line voltage / root three
and to protect generator form earth fault eseily and more
effective by provide generator neautral earhing via
neautral or star point
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 4 Yes | 0 No |
Answer / suseendran
Because the voltage in each phase will be 1.732 times the
generated voltage, design and insulation becomes simple easier.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 3 Yes | 1 No |
Answer / sandeshg
when voltage reduces(because of star) on line the current reduces hence conductor size also reduces. whenever conductor size reduces loss are minimized.
