Salient Pole Rotor Vs Non-Salient Pole Rotor
What are the advantages of salient pole rotors?
The advantage of a salient pole rotor is that we can fit a large number of poles to generate frequency at a low rotational speed.
Why salient pole rotor is used for low speed?
The salient pole rotor contain projected poles. The field winding of the salient pole rotor have a concentrated winding on the pole core.
Which is more stable salient pole or cylindrical?
As salient pole synchronous machines are more stable. It is stable than the cylindrical rotor machines.
Salient Pole Rotor Vs Non-Salient Pole Rotor
A rotor is a rotating part of a motor or a machine. This part consists of a multi-pole electromagnet which produces the electrical power. There are two different types of rotors i.e. Salient Pole Rotor and Non-Salient Pole Rotor. Salient Pole Rotor is a type of rotor which have multiple salient poles and they all are located on a mounted wheel.
On the other side, a Non-Salient Pole Rotor is a cylindrical rotor that is small in diameter and has a long axial length. In this article, we are going to discuss the differences between the Salient Pole Rotor and Non-Salient Pole Rotor in detail.
