why do you give the dc supply to field of alternator..

Answer / meenakshi

The rotor of alternator consists of a coil of wire wrapped
around an iron core. Current through the wire coil -
called "field" current - produces a magnetic field around
the core. The strength of the field current determines the
strength of the magnetic field. The field current is D/C,
or direct current so that the current flows in one
direction only, and is supplied to the wire coil

In dc motor starter there is less voltage required for holding contactor that's may why it is called no volt coil. but in ac starter why holding contactor is called no volt coil.

2 Answers   JSW,


Is a contactor (or master relay) required between incoming lines and a VFD? The question goes to safety. If a contactor were used before the VFD and an e-stop engaged then the motor will coast to a stop (i.e. VFD loses power) instead of stopping much faster if the VFD braking fucntion were used. It would make more sense to keep power on the VFD.
