Welcome back again in the new video of power learning channel.
So my dear friends in today's video we will discuss about AC three-phase alternator
which are used in diesel generators. AC alternator is a main component of diesel generator.
Diesel generator having two main components one is diesel engine and the other is AC alternator.
So in today's video we'll discuss about three-phase AC alternator. So once the three-phase
AC alternator is coupled with the engine it will produce AC electrical power which is three-phase.
In industrial generator we are producing three-phase electrical power. Three-phase power
is very common requirement of all the electrical item which used in industries. So in today's video
I will explain you in details how the AC alternator is producing electricity while it's
taking mechanical power from the diesel engine. The diesel engine is coupled with the alternator
and diesel engine is only producing the mechanical power and it's giving this mechanical power on its
engine shaft which is having flywheel and the flywheel is coupled with the alternate coupling
plate of the alternator. So the main router of the alternator is coupled and it is rotating
with the power of engine. So the alternator having several parts so I will explain you
about these parts. So the number one is main stator and then main router. After that we have
exciter stator and we have exciter router. So these are the four main parts four main windings
which we have on our alternator. Main router, main stator, exciter router and exciter stator.
So as you see on the screen now these are the complete alternators without engine.
Okay so on this we have this coupling plate okay and we have also terminal box. From the terminal
box we took the power and we will connect to our panels where we need the electrical power.
Alternators are available in single bearing and double bearing specification. Now you see on the
screen this is a complete genset which is coupled with the alternator. As you see as you see on the
screen now the rear part is alternator and the front part is the engine and here also we have
in our generator the control panel from where the operator can operate the generator. So now
you will see what is exciter stator. So this is the exciter stator. Okay I will explain you about
it and this is the main router and exciter router. So my dear friends welcome again. So now with the
and this picture we will understand that how our self-excited alternator is producing electricity
with the help of diesel engine. The diesel engine is coupled with the main router. The shaft as you
see in the picture this shaft having a disc plate which is connected on the flywheel of the engine
and once the engine is rotating the flywheel is which is connected with the connecting plate of
the stator our alternator is revolving also the main router of our alternator. So what is the
link between the revolving of main router why we are making rotation of the main router and
how the electricity is produced. So first of all you will aware about the parts of the main stator
main alternator. So here if you see we have shaft which is coupled with our engine then we have
bearing and we have fan. Fan is using for alternator cooling and here if you see we have
two wires and one is dotted wire this is AVR source of power and sensing from alternator output
okay sometimes we are using two phase and sometime we are using three phase and these wires as you
see is going to our AVR. AVR is sensing the main stator voltage and giving DC power to the exciter
stator. This part which you see this is exciter stator and the in between this is called exciter
router. So now I will take you on the this picture as you see in the 3d view main the main component
of the alternator are stator and inside the stator we place the stator winding which is red color
these three wires as you see these are the main stator winding which is connected to our load
and supplying the AC power okay and this AC power we took from here sensing voltage for our AVR.
So now what will happen once the voltage is generated it will give sensing voltage to the
and once the AVR is getting sensing voltage from the main stator this reference voltage
will generate the AVR DC voltage and this DC voltage will excite our exciter stator windings.
Once the flux is produced inside the field winding of the exciter stator
the revolving armature of the exciter stator will cut the magnetic line of force and it will produce
will produce the three-phase AC power. This three-phase AC power will connect with on our
diode plate and this diode plate is having three-phase diode assembly which will convert
this diode AC power three-phase AC power to the DC and this DC power will go to our main router.
So in this way our main router will get excite and our main router having four poles we have two
north pole and two south pole and these two positive and negative will excite and make it
as a electromagnet. Once this electromagnet router is revolved inside the stator winding
so it will again produce the electrical power the voltage. So this is the simple way to understand
that how the electricity is produced and this system is called self-excitation system of our
alternator. This kind of alternator is called self-excitation alternator. So now you see
you understand how the voltage is produced in the self-excitation system. In the self-excitation
system the main router which is coupled with alternator is revolving inside the main stator
winding and once the magnetic flux is produced on the main router and within the air gap the
stator winding will cut the magnetic flux the magnetic field it will produce the electrical
power. Here if you want to see as you see the main router is in the middle and the main stator
winding is on the in the parallel of the main router. Once the revolving shaft is moved with
the help of the diesel engine it will produce electrical power. So my dear friends if you have
any question you can ask me in the comment below and inshallah in next video I will try to explain
about permanent magnet generator excitation system. So thanks for watching Power Learning
channel. See you in the next video. Till that take care and have a nice day. Assalamualaikum.
