    connected winding, having a resistance of 0.2 Ω per phase and
    a standstill leakage reactance of 1 Ω per phase. When the stator
    is energised at rated voltage and frequency, the rotor induced
    e.m.f, at standstill is 120 V per phase.
    a) Calculate the rotor current, rotor power factor and torque both
    at starting and at full load and compare these results.
    b) If an external resistance of 1 Ω per is inserted in rotor circuit,
    calculate rotor current, rotor power factor and torque at the
    starting.

    is delta connected. The results of the tests are
    S.C. Test O.C Test

    desired to improve the factory p.f to 0.95 lagging with the
    installation of a synchronous condenser, then calculate,

    are running in parallel. The speed load characteristics of the driving
    turbines are such that the frequency of alternator 1 drops uniformly

    Hz to 47.5 Hz. How will the two machines share a load of 40 MW?
