Concept:

Speed of synchronous generator in rpm is given by

\({N_s} = \frac{{120f}}{P}\)

Where,

F = supply frequency in Hz

P = Number of poles

Calculation:

Given-

Ns = 250 rpm,

F = 50 Hz

When hydraulic turbine is connected to synchronous generator, then both are running at same speed

\(250 = \frac{{120 \times 50}}{P}\)

P = 24
