Question: 4 - 9 . A 4 8 0 - V , 2 5 0 - kVA, 0 . 8 - PF - lagging, two -

4-9. A 480-V,250-kVA, 0.8-PF-lagging, two-pole, three-phase, 60-Hz synchronous gen erator's prime mover has a no-load speed of 3650 rlmin and a full-load speed of 3570 r/min. It is operating in parallel with a 480-V,250-kVA, 0.85-PF-Iagging, four pole, 60-Hz synchronous generator whose prime mover has a no-load speed of 1800 rlmin and a full-load speed of 1780 rlmin. The loads supplied by the two gen erators consist of 300 kW at 0.8 PF lagging. (a) Calculate the speed droops of generator 1 and generator 2.(b) Find the operating frequency of the power system. (e) Find the power being supplied by each of the generators in this system. (d) Vlhat must the generator's operators do to adjust the operating frequency to 60 Hz?(e) If the current line voltage is 460 V, what must the generator's operators do to correct for the low terminal voltage?
