The salient-pole rotor construction of a three-phase AC generator consists of a rotor with protruding poles that are spaced evenly around the circumference of the rotor. These poles are typically made of laminated steel to reduce eddy current losses.
The diagram below illustrates the salient-pole rotor construction of a three-phase AC generator:

Description:
A salient-pole rotor is a type of rotor used in three-phase AC generators. It consists of a cylindrical iron core with a series of salient poles (or projections) extending radially outward. The poles are made of electrical steel and are laminated to reduce eddy current losses.
Each pole is wound with a field coil, which is connected to a DC power source. The current flowing through the field coils creates a magnetic field in the rotor.
The salient-pole rotor is mounted on the shaft of the generator and rotates inside a stator. The stator is made of laminated electrical steel and has a series of slots around the inner circumference. Coils of wire are placed in the stator slots and are connected in a three-phase configuration.
When the rotor rotates, the magnetic field created by the field coils induces an alternating current in the stator coils. The frequency of the AC current is proportional to the speed of rotation of the rotor.
Advantages of salient-pole rotors:
- Simple and rugged construction
- Relatively low cost
- Good starting characteristics
Disadvantages of salient-pole rotors:
- Limited speed range
- Prone to magnetic cogging
- Not suitable for high-speed generators
