Why DC excitation is used for alternators? Why cant it be AC?

Answer Posted / unknown

When ac supply will have given to rotor side then synchronous machine becomes induction machine fed from stator side ,so the frequency of voltage or current that is produced at stator terminal is "SF" i.e very less than 50 ,so we can't get pure sinusoidal waveform.
