Question: A 2 3 0 0 - V 1 0 0 0 - kVA 0 . 8 - PF - lagging 6 0 - Hz two

A 2300-V 1000-kVA 0.8-PF-lagging 60-Hz two-pole Y-connected synchronous generator has a
synchronous reactance of 1.1 and an armature resistance of 0.15. At 60 Hz, its friction and
windage losses are 24 kW, and its core losses are 18 kW. The field circuit has a dc voltage of
200 V, and the maximum IF is 10 A. The resistance of the field circuit is adjustable over the
range from 20 to 200. The OCC of this generator is shown in Figure 1.
(a) How much field current is required to make VT equal to 2300 V when the generator is running
at no load?
(b) What is the internal generated voltage of this machine at rated conditions?
(c) How much field current is required to make VT equal to 2300 V when the generator is
running at rated conditions?
(d) How much power and torque must the generator's prime mover be capable of supplying?
