Question: A 4 8 0 V , 4 5 h p , 0 . 8 P F leading, Y - connection, 6 0 Hz synchronous machines

A 480V,45hp,0.8PF leading, Y-connection, 60 Hz synchronous machines has a synchronous reactance of 2.0 and a negligible armature resistance. Its friction and windage losses are 1.5 kW , and its core losses are 1.0 kW . Initially, the shaft is supplying a 25 hp load, and the motor's power factor is 0.8 lagging. The field current IF at these conditions in 4.0A.
(1) Sketch the initial phasor diagram of this motor, and find the values of IA, and EA.
(2) What is the converted power Pconv?
(3) What is the efficiency of the machine?
(3) If the motor's flux is increased by 35 percent, sketch the new phasor diagram of the motor. What are EA,IA, and the power factor of the motor now?
A 4 8 0 V , 4 5 h p , 0 . 8 P F leading, Y -
