How the Hydroelectric Sector Uses Electric Generators

Using a hydraulic turbine, hydroelectric generators convert the mechanical energy of flowing water into electricity. Hydroelectric generators are connected to the turbine via a salient pole rotor. Generator rotors have field poles, which are multi-layered electromagnetic steel laminations surrounded by loops of wire arranged on the perimeter of the rotor. The number of field poles […]
