I. E.M.F. Method - : S F S F S
Assumptions:
1. Zs is a constant. Saturation effect not considered.
(For low values of If, Zs is high & for high values of If, Zs is low)
2. Flux under test condition is not the same as that under load
condition. (Amount of flux depends on magnitude of load current
and also on p.f.)
3. Effect of Armature Reaction is considered as a voltage drop IXa &
same is added to leakage reactance voltage drop IXl.
ie. We consider a single value, IXs or a combined reactance drop.
4. Magnetic reluctance of armature flux is constant, regardless of p.f.

m.m.f. Method
Note:
1. Even though the field current is DC, the m.m.f. which
produces the flux is sinusoidally distributed in space. Only
sinusoidal quantities can be represented by a phasor diagram.
2. Compared to e.m.f. method, m.m.f. method involves more
number of complex calculations.
3. For predetermining % voltage regulation, OCC is referred
twice, while SCC is referred once. OCC takes care of
saturation effect.
4. Final result is very close to actual value, hence this method is
called Optimistic Method.
