An introduction of Synchronous Machines (Generators and Motors) for the PE Exam in Electrical Power

Not a lot of engineers that take the PE exam have first-hand experience with synchronous machines which can make this subject difficult at first. In this video, I'll teach you the basics to make it easy. Contents of the video: Single-phase equivalent circuit diagram for both a synchronous generator and synchronous Motor. The difference between the Kirchoff Voltage Law (KVL) voltage summation formulas and how to solve for the current. We go into detail about what each of the components of both a synchronous generator or motor are and what type mean. We explain the concept of a prime mover for a generator and the mechanically coupled load for a generator. Next, we discuss torque angle and how the differences in the terminal voltage (E) and internal voltage (Eo) results in the rotor being slightly out of step with the stator field even though it continues to rotate at synchronous speed. Last we draw the phasor diagrams. __________________________________ **** PE EXAM *** 🔥 SUBSCRIBE for more videos on how to pass the NCEES® Electrical Power PE Exam!    / @electricalpereview   . 🚀 Ready to PASS the NCEES® Electrical Power PE Exam?
