A Theoretical Study of the Three Phase Salient Pole Type Generator with Simultaneous AC and Bridge Rectified DC Output-Part I

This paper presents theoretical equations, describing the relations between the performance and design details of a three phase salient pole type generator with simultaneous AC and DC output, the latter being obtained by bridge rectification. The AC voltage is regulated and the DC voltage floats; however, the inverse condition is also included. The start and duration of DC commutation, all damper and field winding currents, the DC commutation current and both average, RMS and instantaneous DC and AC voltages are determined.
