    The document describes procedures to determine the regulation of an alternator using the EMF or synchronous impedance method. Key steps include: 1) Performing open circuit and short circuit tests to obtain voltage and current readings at varying field currents. 2) Using formulas to calculate the synchronous impedance (ZS), synchronous reactance (XS), and open circuit EMF (E0). 3) Measuring terminal voltage (V) and calculating percentage regulation as (E0-V)*100/V. 4) Plotting the results on model graphs to show the regulation curve.

    2. Reff = Rdc * 1.6 Ω

    3. XS = √ (ZS2-Reff2)

    Where, XS = Synchronous reactance in ohms

    4. E0 = √ (V cos ø + I Reff )2 + (V sin ø ± IXS )2

    Where, V – Terminal voltage in volts (400/√3)


    Cos ø – load power factor
    ( + for lagging power factor & - for leading power factor )

    5. E0 = √ (V + I Ra) 2 + (IXS) 2 in volts --- for unity power factor.

    6. % Regulation = (E0-V)*100 /V in %

    Where, E0 – Open circuit no load voltage in volts


    V - Terminal voltage to which the load is contact

    rheostats.
    5. Excite the field of alternator and note down the corresponding field current and
    generated voltage.
    6. Repeat the above step till the alternator build up its rated generated value.
    7. After taking the readings all the rheostats will be brought to the original position.
    8. Open the DPST switch.
    9. The graph of generated voltage VS field current gives the open circuit characteristics.
