Problem 1.
The OpenCircuit (OC) and ShortCircuit (SC) test data of a 3-phase 1 MVA, 6.6 kV, star connected generator
is given below:
If (A) 60 70 80 90 100 110
Voc (line) (v) 4693 5500 6160 6600 6967 7260
SC (A) 98

Find:
(a) Unsaturated synchronous reactance
(b) Adjusted synchronous reactance
(c) Excitation voltage needed to give rated voltage at full load, 0.8 pf lagging. Use adjusted synchronous
reactance
(d) Also the voltage regulation for the load specified in part (c).

Problem 2: A 30 kW, 1000 rpm, 3-phase, 50Hz, 440 V synchronous motor has a stator resistance of 0.2
ohm per phase, a field resistance of 35 ohm per phase and synchronous reactance of 1.8 ohm per phase.
Rotational losses are estimated to be 1500 W.
At stator input of 45 kVA, 0.8 pf leading and voltage, calculate the shaft power output, field current and
efficiency.
Assume the magnetization curve to be linear with a slope of 80 V (line)/field ampere.

Problem 3: A 3-phase synchronous motor is synchronized to the mains at a terminal voltage of 12.5 kV. It
has a synchronous reactance of 8 ohms.
Assuming the motor to be unloaded and neglecting rotational losses, draw the phasor diagram and compute
the current, active and reactive power drawn from the mains and power factor in the following two cases:
(a) the field current is raised to increase the machine excitation by 20% (overexcitation)
(b) the field current is reduced to decrease the machine excitation by 20% (underexcitation)
Note: It is to be understood that at the time of synchronization, the machine excitation voltage is the same as
the terminal voltage as the machine is just floating on the bus bars

Problem 4:
The motor of problem.3 is now run as a generator (it is now connected to a prime mover) and it delivers 10
MW to the bus-bars while it is over-excited by 20%. Find the current, pf and MVAR delivered.
Problem 5:
A 1000 kW star connected 3.3 kV, 24 pole, 50Hz synchronous motor has a synchronous reactance of 3.24
ohms; the resistance being negligible.
The motor is fed from infinite bus-bars at 3.3 kV. It is drawing rated power at 0.9 pf leading from the bus-
bars. Calculate the maximum power and torque, motor can deliver while its excitation is maintained onstant.
Draw the phasor diagram under this condition. Find also the current, power factor, and reactive power
drawn.

Problem 6:
The per-phase synchronous reactance of a three-phase, wye-connected, 2.5-MVA, 6.6-kV, 60-Hz
turboalternator is 10 ohm. Neglect the armature resistance and saturation. Calculate the voltage regulation
when the generator is operating at full load with (a) 0.8 power factor lagging, and (b) 0.8 power factor
leading.
