Question: A 3 - phase, 5 0 Hz , Y connected, 8 pole synchronous generator has 2 coil sides per slot and 1 2 turns per

A 3-phase, 50 Hz, Y connected, 8 pole synchronous generator has 2 coil sides per slot and 12 turns per coil. The stator of the synchronous generator has 360 slots on its periphery. The coils used are short-pitched by 2 slots. The flux per pole is 0.05 Wb/Pole which is sinusoidally distributed. Determine a) The speed (in RPM) of the prime mover attached to the synchronous generator to maintain the 50 Hz frequency of the generated emf. b) The coil span (in Electrical degree) of the short-pitched coils. c) The distribution factor and the pitch factor. d) The line-to-line induced emf (in kV) in the synchronous generator. The alternator has a stator resistance of 0.25 per phase and the synchronous reactance of 3.2 per phase. For a lagging load current of 100 A at 0.8 power factor, determine e) The magnitude of line-to-line terminal voltage (in kV). f) The load angle (in Electrical Degree). g) The net reactive power (in kVAR) generated by the synchronous generator.
