Q9. A. Describe the situations in which hand regulation might be desirable for operation of generators. B. Three conductors fitted side by side in the stator of a salient-pole alternator. Each generates maximum voltage of 200V (sinusoidal). The angle subtended at the centre of the stator between adjacent conductors is 20 electrical degrees. If the three conductors are connected in series, find (i) the r.m.s. value of the effective voltage and (ii) the ‘breadth factor’ Using the theory that is the basis of this problem, give one reason why three-phase current has been introduced.
