Synchronous Generators (Part 2 of 2)

This video, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, is the second part of a two part lecture on electrically excited synchronous generators in the unloaded condition. During the lecture, presenter Jim Pytel covers the theory behind the construction and operation of synchronous generators. In this video, Pytel walks viewers through a practical demonstrating of a two pole per phase synchronous generator utilizing the theory taught in part one of the lecture. The demonstration covers concepts such as residual magnetism in a generator, the effect of prime mover rotational speed on frequency and voltage magnitude, and the rotational direction of the prime mover's impact on phase sequence.

This video runs 10:55 minutes in length. The first part of the lecture is available to view separately.
