(Due Date on or before 21.4.14)

1. What is armature reaction? Explain the effect of armature reaction
on the terminal voltage of an alternator with the help of phasor
diagram at
(a) Unity power factor load
(b) Zero lagging power factor load
(c) Zero leading power factor load
2. What do you mean by synchronizing of alternators? Describe any
one method of synchronizing.
3. Deduce the expression showing the relationship between speed
frequency and no. of poles of a synchronous machine. If an
alternator has 10 poles, calculate the speed for a frequency of 50
Hz.
4. Describe with diagram, the working of star delta starter.
5. Derive the EMF equation for a synchronous generator. A star
connected, 3-phase 4 pole 50 Hz alternator has a single layer
winding in 24 stator slots. There are 50 turns in each coil and the
flux per pole is 50 mWb. Find the open circuit voltage.
6. Derive the power flow transfer equation for a synchronous
Generator.
7. By means of a neat diagram, describe the main parts of the
alternator with their functions.
8. What conditions should be fulfilled before an alternator is
synchronized with infinite bus.
