Option 2 : It is not suitable for high-speed operation.
Salient pole rotor:
- A salient pole rotor has a large diameter and short axial length, length to diameter is ratio is very small.
- The salient pole rotor contain projected poles and the field winding is a concentrated winding on the pole core.
- The rotors are not mechanically stable and does not offer high operating speeds because of the projected nature.
- Any mechanical instability of the rotor i.e. vibration or hunting should be suppressed. This is achieved by providing damper bars in the poles/rotors.
- So that salient pole rotor type:- causes speed fluctuation and suitable for- low and medium-speed operation.
