Question: In an experiment, a 5 0 Hz , 4 - pole, three - phase, star - connected synchronous generator was driven by squirrel - cage

In an experiment, a 50 Hz ,4-pole, three-phase, star-connected synchronous generator was driven by squirrel-cage induction motor. A field current of 0.15 A generates an open-circuit (no-load) voltage of 279 V line-to-line. Assume the armature resistance is 0.3. Using the circuit diagram and the result curve shown below, calculate the following:
a. The speed of rotation of the synchronous generator, n, in rpm .
