Synchronous Machine

04/09/2010 6:32 AM

Have anyone of you seen a machine of rated power 70 MW with synchronous speed of 600 rpm?? It is for high head ( more than 800 m) plant with discharge of around 10 cumecs.

With those sort of heads and flowrates, there's every chance it involves moving a lot of water around.

I agree. Water is probably the only thing there is enough of.

Usually something that big and slow is going to be a synchronous AC motor.
