Hi everyone,
In gas power plants, they will start the synchronous machine as motor and later turned to generator mode. My question is...while starting as a motor, they will provide a field excitation first and some emf will be induced in stator (VL1-L2,VL2-L3,VL3-L1). based on these voltage levels, they are detecting the pole position of rotor and they will start to give ac supply to stator based on pole position ...but how they are detecting? how they are calculating the pole position with these voltages? please explain with 2 pole machine.
