What are the differences between salient pole and cylindrical pole?

 The magnetic path is characterized by poles, locations at equal angles around the rotor at which the magnetic field lines pass from stator to rotor or vice versa. The stator (and rotor) are classified by the number of poles they have. Most arrangements use one field coil per pole. Some older or simpler arrangements use a single field coil with a pole at each end.



In this article, we will first introduce salient pole and cylindrical pole. We will explain the performance of each and at the end, we will examine the Difference between salient pole and cylindrical pole. Read this article.

They are typically used in lower speed electrical machines (100 RPM to 1500 RPM). Salient pole rotors normally require damper windings to avoid oscillations of rotors during operation. They are mostly used in hydropower plants.





salient pole vs cylindrical pole

The difference between salient pole and cylindrical pole is that the rotor of the cylindrical pole can run at a higher rotational speed, provided that the rotor is easily balanceable and the centrifugal force can be equally distributed. Click here References:
