§-2.
At a location in Europe, it is necessary to supply 200 kW? of 60-Hz power. The only power sources
available operate at 50 Hz. It is decided to gererate the power by means of a motor-generator set
consisting of a synchronous motor driving a synchronous gererator. How many poles should each of the
tyo machines have in order to convert 50-Hz power to 60-Hz power?
SoLumien The speed of a synchronous machire is related to its frequeney by the equation

To make a 50 Hz anda 60 H2 machire have the sare mechanical speed so that they can be coupled
