Here given data is:

No. of poles = 2;

Speed (N) = 400 rps;

Usually speed is calculated in rpm. So here we convert 400 rps (revolution per second) in terms of rpm (revolutions per minute).

As 1 min = 60 sec; we multiply 400x60 rpm;

As we know N = 120f/p.

f = np/120;

f = 400x60x2/120.

f = 400 hz.

So hope no one has any doubts regarding this explanation.

1min = 60sec.

If 400rps then 400/60 rpm.

As from small quantities to bigger quantities we do division, from bigger quantities to small we do multiplication.

Kindly explain it.

As we all know,

Ns = ( (120 * f) /p); Here Ns is in rpm. Therefore,

Ns = Ns/60 rps.

So,

Ns = ((2 * f)/p),
And f = ((p * ns)/2),

f = 2 * 400/2,

f = 400Hz.

We know N = 120F/P.

SO F = N*P/120.

Here n = 400rps(revolution per second).

n = 400*60rpm(rps=Hz=60*rpm).

Thus,

F = 400*60*2/120.

F = 400Hz answer.

n= 120*f/p.
n : rapid per minute.
f: frequency.
p:no of poles.

n=400*60(rps) =24000(rpm).

f=n(rpm)*p/120.
f=24000*2/120.
f=400 HZ.

p = 2.
n = 400.

rps its converted in to rpm its value is 6.66 rpm.

Then f = pn/120.

= 2*6.66/120.
= 0.111 hz.

P=2
N= 400 r/s (rps )= 400 r/(m/60)=400*60 r/m
=400*60 rpm
we know f = N P /120= 400*60*2/120=400 Hz.

Actually, rps is rev/sec so to convert it to rpm =rev/sec/60 that's why we multiply with 60 directly.

Frequency = 1 cycles/second.
1 cycles/second = 1 Hertz.

Cycles is the same revolution or rotation.

In three phase generators we will consider the angle between three coils should be 120 degrees.
