MODULE I

Define armature reaction? Explain the effect of armature reaction when the
alternator operating at
6 1 a) unity power factor 14
b) Zero lagging power factor
c) Zero leading power factor with neat sketch.

OR

7.a 1 Derive the expression for pitch factor in alternators? 10

7.b 1 Explain the effect of harmonics on pitch factor and distribution factor 4

MODULE II

8.a 2 Explain the EMF method of determining voltage regulation of an alternator. 10

 A 50 KVA ,500 V single phase a.c. generator gave the following test results
Open circuit current: a field current of 12 A produced an e.m.f of 300
volts
Short circuit test : a field current of 12 A caused a current of 175 A to
flow in the short circuited armature
The effective armature resistance is (ac) is 0.2 ohm
8.b 2 AP 4
i) Calculate the synchronous impedance and synchronous reactance.
ii) If the ac generator is supplying full load current of 100A at 0.8 P.f
lagging to what value would the terminal voltage rise if the load
were removed? Also find voltage regulation for this load and pf.
