🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between prime mover speed and AC frequency • Effect of constant field excitation on generated voltage in a synchronous AC generator • How load increase changes speed, frequency, and terminal voltage

💭 Think About

• If the prime mover slows down, what happens to the number of mechanical revolutions per second, and how does that relate to electrical cycles per second (Hz)? • With the field excitation held constant, does the internal generated voltage tend to rise or fall as speed drops? Why? • Think about what happens to terminal voltage of a generator when you put more load on it and the speed is not perfectly held constant.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that frequency in an AC generator is directly proportional to rotor speed (for the same number of poles) • Confirm that with constant field excitation, generated voltage is roughly proportional to speed • Check whether both frequency and voltage will change in the same direction or in opposite directions when the prime mover slows down.
