what is the working principle of a DG Set, Alternator, &
exiter

Answer Posted / Renu Yadav

Diesel Generator Set (DG Set): The working principle of a diesel generator set (DG Set) is based on the four-stroke Otto cycle. A diesel engine in a DG Set burns fuel to create heat, which is then used to convert water into steam. This steam drives a turbine connected to an electrical generator, producing electricity.

Alternator: An alternator is an electrical device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy by the principle of electromagnetic induction. It works on the principle of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, where a changing magnetic field induces an electric current in a coil. In an alternator, a rotor (rotating part) surrounded by stationary stator windings is used to produce AC (Alternating Current) power.

Exiter: An exiter is an electrical device used in telecommunication systems for generating high-voltage pulses required for excitation of transformer coils. The working principle of an exiter involves charging a capacitor bank, which is then discharged through the primary winding of the transformer to create the required high voltage pulse.

A 15 kw squirrel cage motor having a maximum efficiency of 90% on a continuous full load has temperature rise of 42 degrees celcius after 30 min and 52 degrees celcius after 1 hr under the above operation conditions. a) calculate its final steady state temperature rise on continuous load and the heating time constatnt. b) if the motor is operated on a short load for 9 min estimate its temperature rise. c) calculate the maximum overload that can be applied on a short, 9 min rating so that the temperature rise is the same as the final steady state temperature rise on continuous load.
