Question: ( c ) The field excitation current is maintained at 7 2 A . The prime - mover power is increased up to the stability

(c) The field excitation current is maintained at 72 A . The prime-mover power is increased up to the stability limit of the generator in the steady state, with the output line voltage remaining at 22 kV . Neglecting the stator resistance, determine the corresponding real power output and electromagnetic torque of the generator.

(d) The generator is discornected from the infinste bus and is run at its rated speed. If the output terminals are short-circuited, determine the field current required so as to limit the stator current to the rated value.

A 3-phase, 4-pole, Y-connected synchronous generator is rated 1.5 MVA, 22 kV (line,rms and has a non-salient type rotor. The machine has a per-phuse synchronous reactance of 25, armature resistance of 1, and is connected to an infinite bus with a line voltage of 22 kV ( mms ). The generator runs at synchronous speed. The effects of magnetic saturation can be neglected.
(a) When the field excitation current is adjusted to 72 A , the generator supplies its rated current at a power factor of 0.9(lagging).
