What is the meaning of rpm of the turbine?

RPM stands for Revolutions Per Minute so, in short, RPM is the number of revolutions that the generator shaft turns in one minute. It seems obvious that the question is really trying to understand RPM vs frequency in Hertz. To understand this, you need to know the number of poles in the rotating and/or stationary magnetic field. In a two pole generator, for instance, an RPM of 1800, or 30 RPS (Revolutions Per Second), yields 60 Hertz power. In a eight pole generator, for instance, an RPM of 450, or 7.5 RPS, yields 60 Hertz power. The equation is simple... FHertz = SRPM / 60 * PNumber of Poles


How many vibrations per minute does a hertz have?

A hertz is equal to one cycle per second, so it would have 60 vibrations per minute.


Why 115 volts and 400 hertz used in modern aircrafts?

Generator design.


What can happen if you connect a 60 hertz air conditioning unit to a 50 hertz generator?

Probable the air conditioner doesn't work well.


Whats the frequency of an electric generator that produces 600 cycles in 10 seconds?

The frequency of the electric generator is 60 Hz, calculated by dividing the number of cycles (600) by the time it takes (10 seconds) to produce them. Frequency is measured in Hertz, which represents the number of cycles per second.


What does 50 hertz or 60 hertz mean in an electrical generator?

The unit hertz means "cycles per second" and is a measure of the frequency of variation of anything which changes during a set period of time, including electric current and voltage. Saying that a generator of electricity runs at 50 hertz means that its current and voltage changes regularly at a rate of 50 times per second. Saying that a generator of electricity runs at 60 hertz means that its current and voltage changes regularly at a rate of 60 times per second. The Hertz value can be changed on the generator by increasing or decreasing the speed (RPM) of the prime mover. The generator has a feed back unit that monitors the frequency and automatically applies more power to the prime mover if the load increases and the generator RPM starts to slow down. The reverse happens if the load drops off and the generator starts to speed up, the power to the prime mover will be reduced. On a diesel generator it is the fuel flow that is increased and decreased to keep the frequency at a constant value. On a water turbine it is the water flow that is increased and decreased to keep the frequency at a constant value.


Is one hertz is one vibration each second or minute?

Each second.


Is 60 hertz measured per second or per minute?

Hertz is a unit of frequency, representing the number of cycles per second. Therefore, 60 hertz means 60 cycles are occurring every second.


Does 1 mega hertz equal 1000 times of frequency in a minute?

the prefix mega implies million, so one megahertz is one million hertz


What is the frequency of 30000 a minute?

(30000/min)(1min/60sec)=(500/sec)=500 Hertz


220 volts 60 hertz to 220 volts 50 hertz?

To convert from 220 volts at 60 Hz to 220 volts at 50 Hz, you would need a frequency converter or transformer. These devices can adjust the frequency while maintaining the voltage levels. It's important to use a converter that is rated for the specific voltage and frequency you are converting between to ensure safe and efficient operation.


What is a 400 hertz generator mean?

It's a generator that creates 400hz AC signals, instead of 50 or 60hz. 400hz is often used on ships, because the equipment (generators, transformers) can be made much smaller.
