Question: Example 5 - 2 . A 4 8 0 - V , 6 0 - Hz , - connected, four - pole synchronous generator has
Example A VHzconnected, fourpole synchronous generator has the OCC shown in Figure This generator has a synchronous reactance of and an armature resistance of At full load, the machine supplies A at PF lagging. Under fullload conditions, the friction and windage losses are kW and the core losses are kW Ignore any field circuit losses.
a What is the speed of rotation of this generator?
b How much field current must be supplied to the generator to make the terminal voltage V at no load?
c If the generator is now connected to a load and the load draws A at PF lagging, how much field current will be required to keep the terminal voltage equal to V
d How much power is the generator now supplying? How much power is supplied to the generator by the prime mover? What is this machine's overall efficiency?
e If the generator's load were suddenly disconnected from the line, what would happen to its terminal voltage?
f Finally, suppose that the generator is connected to a load drawing A at PF leading. How much field current would be required to keep at V
