    SYNCHRONOUS MACHINES

    1. The reactances Xd and Xq of a salient-pole synchronous generator are 1.00 and 0.55
    p.u., respectively. Compute the excitation voltage when the generator delivers rated
    kVA at 0.80 pf lagging current, and rated terminal voltage. Neglect armature
    resistance.
    2. A 3600V, 100 kVA 3-phase star-connected synchronous generator has an effective
    armature resistance of 0.75 Ω/ ph. A field current of 5A was necessary to produce a
    rated current on short-circuit and a voltage of 1500 V (line) on open-circuit.
    Determine the full-load voltage regulation for the following types of loads:
    a) unity power factor b) 0.85 leading power factor c) 0.76 lagging power factor
    3. A 3-phase star-connected alternator is rated at 1500 kVA 12000 V. The armature
    effective resistance and synchronous reactance are respectively 3Ω and 32 Ω per
    phase. Calculate the percentage regulation for a load of 1200 kW at power factors of
    (a) 0.8 lagging (b) 0.8 leading
    4. Two exactly similar turbo-alternators are rated 20 MW each and run in parallel. The
    speed-load characteristics of the driving turbines are such that the frequency of
    Alternator 1 drops uniformly 50 Hz on no-load to 48 Hz on full-load and that of
    Alternator 2 from 50 Hz to 48.5 Hz. How will the two machines share a load of 40
    MW?
    5. A 3300-kVA, 3-phase, 6-pole star-connected synchronous generator runs on 6000-V,
    60-Hz infinite bus bars. Find the synchronizing power and torque per mechanical
    degree of displacement (a) for no load with excitation adjusted to give 6000 V on
    open circuit (b) for full load at a power factor of 0.8 lagging. The synchronous
    reactance of the machine is 21.6 ohms.
    6. A 2 MVA 8-pole alternator runs at 1000 rpm in parallel with other machines on 3.3 kV
    busbars. The synchronous reactance is 25 %. Calculate the synchronising power per
    one mechanical degree of displacement and the corresponding synchronizing torque.
    7. A 11 kV, 3-phase star-connected synchronous motor draws a current of 45 A, and has
    effective resistance and synchronous reactance per phase of 0.8 Ω and 24Ω
    respectively. Calculate the power supplied to the motor and the induced emf when the
    motor is operating at a power factor of: (a) 0.8 lagging (b) 0.8 leading
    8. A 6600 V 3-phase star-connected synchronous motor draws a full-load current of 80
    A at 0.8 p.f. leading. The synchronous impedance per phase is (2.2+22j) Ω. If the
    stray losses of the machine are 3500 W, find:
    (a) Induced emf (b) Output power (c) Efficiency of the machine
    9. A 6600 V 3-phase star-connected draws a full-load current of 70 A at 0.8 p.f. leading.
    Find the emf induced, output power and efficiency of the machine if the stray losses
    total 30 kW, and the armature resistance is 2 Ω per phase and the synchronous
    reactance is 20 Ω per phase
    10. A 2500 V 3-phase 4-pole star-connected synchronous motor runs at 1600 rpm. The
    excitation is constant and corresponds to an open-circuit voltage of 2300 V. The
    resistance is negligible in comparison with the synchronous reactance of 3 Ω per
    phase. Determine the power input, power factor, and torque developed for an
    armature current of 250 A.
