12. In an alternator, a lagging current has the effect of weakening the main field; but in a synchronous motor, the effect of lagging current is to strengthen the main field. Explain.
13. A three-phase 6/8 variable reluctance motor is running at a speed of 1000 rpm. Calculate the time between pulses required to excite the phase windings.
14. Describe, with physical concepts, the hunting phenomenon in synchronous machines. Explain why hunting is objectionable? What are the various causes of hunting? How can it be reduced?
15. How to determine synchronous machine transient reactance and time constant?

SECTION-C

16. A 2300 V, 3-phase, star-connected, 50 Hz synchronous motor operating at normal voltage is excited to give an excitation voltage of 2400 V. Determine the maximum power developed, armature current and power factor under this excitation. Per-phase synchronous impedance is 1.5 +j 21 Q.
17. With regard to synchronous motor V-curves, explain the following :
    1. There is a bend in the compounding curve obtained by joining the minimum and maximum excitation points.
    2. Unity p.f. compounding curve has-also a bend in it.
18. Show that for alternators running in parallel, the division of load between them is governed mainly by the speed-load characteristics of their prime-movers.
