Need an research paper on aircraft electrical power generation & distribution. Needs to be 6 pages. Please no plagiarism. Most of the planes use the three-phase alternators. Three-phase alternator, as the name suggests, consists of three single-phase windings that are spaced in such a manner that voltage induced in any of the phases undergoes displacement of 120 degrees from the other two alternators. The three phases of this type of alternator are independent, that is, they do not depend on the each other. Rather than having all the six leads coming out of the 3-phase alternator, the same leads from each of the phases are connected together and form a Y (wye) connection. This happens because when the neutrals are not there, the windings usually take the shape of letter Y, which in this case, is upside down or sideways. The neutral connection within a plane’s turbine engine is brought out to a terminal whenever a single phase load is applied to it. Also to note is that single-phase voltage is always available from the three neutral phases. In a three-phase Y connected alternator, like that in a plane, the total line voltage, or the total voltage passing across any two of the three leads represents the vector sum of the existing individual phase voltages needed (Pallet 1987). Due to the windings from only one of the path for the flow of current between the phases, the phase and line currents are equal. The whole system is equipped with circuit breakers that aid in the control and regulation of current to avoid destruction of certain elements due to excess heat by excess current.

Voltage regulation in an alternator of an aircraft is controlled in a manner that its deficiency or excess is compensated appropriately. When the load on the generator is changed, the generator’s terminal voltage varies. The amount of this variation always depends on the design used in the generator.&nbsp.
