Abstract :
High shaft speeds, which permit direct coupling of alternators to high-speed turbines, have made the largest contribution to the increased power ratings of alternators. Consequently, high-frequency alternators are becoming widely used in air-borne equipment. These alternators should find many other applications as in computer and telemetering systems, welding applications, and arc lighting.
