**** I've noticed this question has been asked a few times, however question (iii) has various different answers. I'm only really interested in questions (iii) and question (v) please. I have question (iii) at being 0.3 Ohms. Grateful for the help***
The blades of a 20 kW,400 V machine rotate at 2 revs per second at rated wind speed.
(i) Calculate the speed of the generator if the gear box ratio is 1:10.
(ii) Calculate the current generated at rated power.
(iii) This four-pole machine has lap wound armature consisting of 16 coils each with a resistance of 0.3 ohms. Calculate the resistance of the armature.
(iv) Draw the circuit diagram for the generator with this armature winding resistance and the shunt resistance 50 ohms.
(v) Calculate the winding losses and hence the efficiency of the wind turbine at rated wind speed.
