Question: Problem 1 : A 4 - pole, 6 0 Hz , Y - connected, 3 - phase generator has a regulated line voltage of V

Problem 1: A 4-pole, 60 Hz , Y-connected, 3-phase generator has a regulated line voltage of VAB=450?30Vrms, a synchronous reactance of 0.05-, a stator resistance of 0.003, and Lsf=0.018H. The balanced 3-phase load draws 3 MW at a lagging 0.75 power factor.
a. Compute the 3-phase complex power of the load (magnitude and angle).
S3phase=4?41.4MVA
b. Compute the generator phase current (magnitude and angle; hint: the angle of the current should be negative for the load to have a lagging power factor).
Ia=5132?-41.4Arms
Ea=476?22.4Vrms
d. Calculate the required field current.
If=99.2ADC
e. State the required speed of the prime mover ( rpm )
Nm=1800RPM
