Sheet (8) Synchronous Machine Problem (1) :: Solution

This document contains solutions to problems involving synchronous machines. Problem 1 involves calculating the voltage regulation of a 3-phase synchronous generator at full load with 0.8 lagging and leading power factors, and finding the power factor where regulation is zero. Problem 2 calculates the voltage regulation and power angle for a generator under different load conditions. Problem 3 similarly calculates voltage regulation and power angle at partial loads. Problem 4 involves calculations related to a synchronous generator's current, power factor, output power, maximum power transfer, and current at maximum power.
