what is the major difference between dc generator and
synchronous generator?

Answer Posted / 7anoter4

In three phase system the 3 phases windings are even
distributed along the stator periphery and since the 3
phase currents are 120 electrical degrees in time
distanced one from each other ,then an apparent rotating
magnetic field is installed[as an armature reaction].

The synchronous generator rotor rotates in the same time
with this field [stator itself does not move]. [differently
from the asynchronous[induction] generator in which rotor
velocity is more elevated than this field velocity and the
difference depends on the load.]

In d.c. generator no such rotating field is generated as
the armature reaction is always in d.c. field and it is
rotates with the rotor together[one could say it is
also "synchronous" rotation].

However this field disturbs the collector operation in the
commutation process.

In order to avoid this, commutation auxiliary poles are
located between excitation poles and are supplied by
armature current.

My question is whether bellow formula is correct to find bus size for 46kA for 0.5 second & what is RT in bellow formula. formula to calculate the size of busbar to withstand the thermal stresses due to currents with duration of 0.2 sec to 5 sec. Sp = RT( I x I x t) / K Where Sp – is the cross sectional area of bus bar in millimeters. I -    is the value of AC fault current. t -    is the operating time of disconnecting device in seconds. K –  is the factor depending on the material of the conductor, insulation and initial and final temperature. Value of ‘k’ for copper is 143.
