The following information is given in connection with an alternator: slots=144; poles=8, rpm=900; turns
per coil= 6; flux/pole=1.8x108 Maxwell; coil span= 1 to 16; winding= whole coiled, three phase; winding
connection = start. Calculate the voltage between terminals.
NO.2
A three-phase 1,000kVA, 2,300 V star-connected alternator is short-circuited at rated speed to produce
rated current. With the short-circuit removed and the same excitation, the voltage between stator
terminals is 1,300 V. The effective resistance between stator terminals is 2 ohms. Determine the percent
regulation of the alternator at a power factor of 0.8 lagging.
NO.3
A 25kVA, 220 V, three-phase star-connected alternator delivers rated kVA at a power factor of 0.84. the
effective AC resistance between armature winding terminals is 0.18 ohm. The field takes 9.3 A at 115 V.
If friction and windage loss is 480 W and the core loss is 610 W, calculate the percent efficiency.
NO.4
Each of two single-phase alternators has an armature winding whose resistance and synchronous
reactance are respectively, 0.025 and 0.06 ohm. If the machines are operating without load, calculate
the magnitude of the circulating current in the windings if the alternators are paralleled when the
voltages are 230 V and 200 V, and displaced 30 from a position of phase opposition.
NO.5
A 3-phase star-connected has a synchronous impedance of 1+j10 ohms per phase operating at a
constant voltage of 6.6kV and its field current is adjusted to give excitation of 6.4kV. Find (a) the power
output, (b) armature current and (c) power factor constant maximum power output.
NO.6
A 220V, 4 pole, 60 Hz, 3-phase induction motor was tested and the following data were obtained:
no-load test: 220V, 310W, 6.2 A
Load test: 220V, 3,650 W, 11.3 A, 1,710 rpm
NO.7
If the starting torque of 7.5HP, 440V, 1,730 rpm motor is 2.5 times its rated full-load torque when rated
voltage is impressed, calculate the starting torque when 230 V is applied at the instant of starting. Note:
1HP=746 W
NO.8
A 4-pole, 50hz, 3-phase induction motor develops a maximum torque at a speed of 1,350rpm, and per
phase rotor resistance of 0.2 ohm. Calculate the value of external resistance that must be inserted in
series with each rotor phase to produce a starting torque equal to half the maximum torque. Neglect
stator impedance.

NO.12
A 4,400 V, star-connected synchronous motor has a synchronous impedance of 0.5 + j9 ohms per phase.
For an excitation emf of 5,000 V and motor input power of 1,320 kW at rated voltage, compute (a) the
line current and (b) power factor.
NO.13
The three transformers that feed a three phase converter are connected delta on the primary side and
star on the secondary side. If the slip ring current is 471.5A, calculate (a) the current in each transformer
primary if the ratio of transformation is 21.7:1, (b) the line current on the primary side pf the
transformer.
