Question: 4 - 1 3 . A 2 5 - MVA, 1 2 . 2 - kV , 0 . 9 - PF - lagging, three

4-13. A 25-MVA, 12.2-kV,0.9-PF-lagging, three-phase, two-pole, Y-connected, 60-Hz synchronous generator was tested by the open-circuit test, and its air-gap voltage was extrapolated with the following results: Open-circuit test Field current, A 320365380475570 Line voltage, kV 13.013.814.115.216.0 Extrapolated air-gap voltage, kV 15.417.518.322.827.4 The short-circuit test was then performed with the following results: Short-circuit test Field current, A 320365380475570 Armature current, A 10401190124015501885 The armature resistance is 0.6 per phase. (a) Find the unsaturated synchronous reactance ofthis generator in ohms per phase and ohms per unit. (b) Find the approximate saturated synchronous reactance Xs at a field current of 380 A. Express the answer both in ohms per phase and per unit. SYNCHRONOUS GENERATORS 267(c) Find the approximate saturated synchronous reactance at a field current of 475 A. Express the answer both in ohms per phase and in per unit. (d) Find the short-circuit ratio for this generator. (e) What is the internal generated voltage of this generator at rated conditions?
