Assignment 12

This document discusses synchronous machines and single phase induction machines. It contains 10 multiple choice questions about topics such as: 1) the types of current supplied by a synchronous generator under different excitation conditions, 2) the load angle that produces maximum power in a synchronous generator, 3) the field current and armature current axes of an alternator's inverted V curve. It also contains questions about calculating values for a synchronous generator operating at rated load such as: generated voltage per phase, efficiency given fixed losses, and field current and external resistance for a given field voltage. The final questions cover topics like the starting torque of a single phase induction motor and components lacking in shaded pole motors.

(a) 300 V
(b) 288 V
(c) 263 V
(d) None of these
Solution: (Answer :d)
Synchronous impedance,

Ia = √ ∠ − 36.86o = 15.193∠ − 36.86o
3 × 380
Eg = Vt + Ia Zs
= 219.39+15.193∠ − 36.86o × 4.176∠73.30

Voltage, V = 208/ 3 = 120∠0o V
Synchronous impedance, Z = 0.1 + j1Ω
Field-winding resistance, R f = 20Ω

Power factor, cos φ = 0.8 lag


φ = −36.86o
10.8 × 103
Current, Ia = √ ∠ − 36.86o = 29.98∠ − 36.86o A
3 × 208

Ea = V + Ia Z = 120∠0o + (29.98∠ − 36.86o )(0.1 + j1) = 142.13 V
