𝑉 = 𝜋𝐷𝑛 𝑠 𝐷 = 𝑉 𝜋𝑛 𝑠 In low speed turbo-alternator the diameter is limited by the maximum

peripheral speed, The output equation of ac machine can be modified by using the above
relation. The kVA rating or Output kVA, Q = C0 𝐷2 𝐿𝑛 𝑠 where, C0 = 11 𝑎𝑐 𝐵𝑎𝑣 𝐾 𝑤 ∗ 10 − 3
Substitute , and the expression for C0 in the equation for Q Q = 11 𝑎𝑐 𝐵𝑎𝑣 𝐾 𝑤 𝑉 𝜋𝑛 𝑠 2 𝐿 ∗

5. 5. LENGTH OF AIR-GAP The length of air gap can be estimated from the ratio lg/τ = 0.02 to
0.025. It can be also estimated from value of SCR. mmf for airgap = 800000 𝐾 𝑔 𝐵 𝑔 𝑙 𝑔 mmf

Note:- 𝑆𝐶𝑅 = 0.5 𝑡𝑜 0.7 for turbo alternators and 𝐵 𝑔= 𝐵 𝑎𝑣/𝐾 𝑓 5
