🔍 Key Concepts

• AC generator frequency formula and how it relates to speed and number of poles • Difference between voltage control (field excitation) and frequency control • Role of the prime mover in driving the generator

💭 Think About

• Which variables in the standard frequency formula for an alternator can actually be changed during operation? • Does changing field excitation affect the speed of rotation or just the strength of the magnetic field (and therefore voltage)? • If the machine is already built with a fixed number of poles, which practical control remains to adjust frequency while running?

✅ Before You Answer

• Write down the basic alternator frequency relationship and see which term corresponds to speed and which to number of poles. • Decide whether field excitation primarily influences voltage, reactive power, or rotational speed. • Confirm which of the options can realistically be adjusted on a running shipboard generator to fine-tune frequency.
