Question: A 2 0 0 0 hp , 4 1 6 0 V , three phase, cylindrical rotor, synchronous machine has a saturated reactance of 1

A 2000hp,4160V, three phase, cylindrical rotor, synchronous machine has a saturated reactance of 10.
a) What value of generated voltage, Eaf, is required when the motor delivers half of the rated real
power at unity power factor? Express your answer in volts line-line. [2]
b) What is the motor torque angle for the condition in a)[2]
c) If the field excitation is held constant and the motor output is increased to rated value, determine
the armature current and power factor. [2]
d) What is the new torque angle for the condition in c)[2]
e) For the condition in c) if the field current is increased, how will the reactive power change and
why?
