Tutorial Synch Generator
From the following test results, determine the voltage regulation of a 2000 V, singlephase synchronous generator delivering a current of 100 A at (i) unity pf, (ii) 0,8 leading
pf and (iii) 0,8 lagging pf. The result :
Full-load current 100 A is produced on short circuit by a field excitation 2,5 A.
An emf 500 V is produced on open-circuit by the same excitation.
Armature resistance is 0,8 , and draw it phasor diagram.

Problem 6
A 3-phase, 800 kVA, 11 kV, star connected synchronous generator has resistance of 1,5
/phase and synchronizing reactance of 25 /phase. Find the percentage regulation for
a load of 600kW at 0,8 leading power factor.
