Construction of a salient pole rotor is as

shown in the gure at left. The projected Speed control methods of
poles are made up from laminations of induction motor
steel. The rotor winding is provided on these
poles and it is supported by pole shoes.
Speed control methods of DC
Salient pole rotors have large diameter and

They are generally used in lower speed

Non-salient pole rotors are cylindrical in

shape having parallel slots on it to place
rotor windings. It is made up of solid steel.
The construction of non-salient pole rotor
(cylindrical rotor) is as shown in gure
above. Sometimes, they are also called as
drum rotor.
They are smaller in diameter but having
longer axial length.
Cylindrical rotors are used in high speed
electrical machines, usually 1500 RPM to
3000 RPM.
Windage loss as well as noise is less as
compared to salient pole rotors.
Their construction is robust as compared to
salient pole rotors.
Number of poles is usually 2 or 4.
Damper windings are not needed in non-
salient pole rotors.
Flux distribution is sinusoidal and hence
gives better emf waveform.
Non-salient pole rotors are used in 
nuclear, gas and thermal power plants.
