1. How polyphase distributed armature windings produce rotating


magnetic field? Explain with proper mathematical proof. Under this
condition, if I change the phase sequence of the supply, show that,
the rotating magnetic field will reverse its direction.
2. Explain the origins of kp and kd. What impact it has on the EMF
output of the synchronous generator? [ Mathematical proof is required]
3. The following test results were obtained when these were performed
on a 15 MVA, 11 kV, three-phase, 50 Hz, star-connected alternator:

Find the armature reaction ampere-turns, the leakage reactance and


the regulation for full load at 0.8 pf lagging. Neglect resistance.
4. What is the electromagnetic basis of the “Two-Reaction theory” in
Salient Pole Machines?
5. The direct and quadrature axis synchronous reactance of a three-
phase, 6.6 kV, 4 MVA, 32 salient pole alternators are 9 and 60 ohm
respectively. Determine its regulation and excitation emf needed to
maintain 6.6 kV at the terminals when supplying a load of 2.5 MVA at
0.8 pf lagging. What maximum power can this alternator supply at the
rated terminal voltage if the field becomes open circuited? Neglect
armature resistance.
6. A 762 kVA, 2200 V, 50 Hz, three-phase, star connected alternator
has an effective resistance of 0.6 ohm per phase. A field current of
30 A produces a full-load current on short circuit and a line-to-line
emf of 1039 V on open circuit. Determine the power angle of the
alternator when it delivers full load at 0.8 p.f. lagging. Also
determine SCR of the alternator.
7. A three-phase, star-connected salient pole, alternator at 4.5 MVA,
6000 V, has a resistance of 2% and leakage reactance of 10%. A field
current of 60 A produces short-circuit armature current equal to full-
load current. The armature cross-reaction per armature turn is half
of the direct reaction. The open-circuit characteristic is as follows:
Field current in ampere 30 50 75 100 140
Terminal voltage in volt 2906 4700 6600 7500 8300
Find the percentage regulation on full load at a power factor of 0.8
(lagging).
8. The armature of a three-phase, star-connected, 10 kVA, 400 V, 50
Hz salient pole alternator has a resistance of 1 ohm per phase. Its
direct and quadrature axis reactance are 15 ohm and 9 ohm respectively.
The machine is delivering rated load at rated voltage and pf 0.8
lagging. If the load angle is 17°, find (i) The direct axis and
quadrature axis component of armature current. (ii) excitation voltage
of the generator.
9. Explain the basis of synchronizing power. Prove that if the rotor
of the alternator is getting slowed, it will draw active power from
the infinite bus.
10. At what power factor, the voltage regulation is zero and why?
