Q5. Obtain the synchronous machine reactance from the equivalent circuit of a synchronous
machine.
Q6. Draw and discuss the power angle characteristics of cylindrical rotor synchronous
machines.
SECTION-C
Q7. How are sinusoidal emf, flux and MMF phasors produced in synchronous machines?
Q8. A 480V, 50Hz, Y-connected, 6-pole synchronous generator has a per-phase synchronous
reactance of 1 ?. Its full-load armature current is 60A at 0.8PF lagging. This generator has
friction and windage losses of 1.5kW and core losses of 1 kW at 60Hz at full load. Since
the armature resistance is being ignored, assume that the I2R losses are negligible. The
field current has been adjusted so that the terminal voltage is 480V at no load.
a. What is the speed of rotation of this generator?
b. What is the terminal voltage of this generator if the following are true?
1. It is loaded with the rated current at 0.8 PF lagging.
2. It is loaded with the rated current at 1.0 PF.
3. It is loaded with the rated current at 0.8 PF leading.
c. What is the efficiency of this generator (ignoring the unknown electrical losses) when it
is operating at the rated current and 0.8 PF lagging?
d. How much shaft torque must be applied by the prime mover at full load? How large is
the induced counter-torque?
e. What is the voltage regulation of this generator at 0.8 PF lagging, 1.0 PF and 0.8 PF
leading?
Q9. Write short notes on :
a. Synchronous condensers
b. Hysteresis motors.
NOTE : Disclosure of identity by writing mobile number or making passing request on any
page of Answer sheet will lead to UMC case against the Student.
