13. Example 5.1
A 480V, 60Hz, ∆-connected, 4-pole synchronous generator has the OCC as shown below. This generator has a synchronous reactance of 0.1Ω and an armature resistance of Ω. At full load, the machine supplies 1200A at 0.8 PF lagging. Under full-load conditions, the friction and windage losses are 40kW, and the core losses are 30kW. Ignore any field circuit losses.
what is the speed of rotation of this generator?
How much field current must be supplied to the generator to make the terminal voltage 480V at no load?
If the generator is now connected to a load and the load draws 1200A at 0.8 PF lagging, how much field current will be required to keep the terminal voltage equal to 480V?
How much power is the generator now supplying? How much power is supplied to the generator by the prime mover? What is this machine’s overall efficiency?
If the generator’s load were suddenly disconnected from the line, what would happen to its terminal voltage?
Finally, suppose that the generator is connected to a load drawing 1200A at 0.8 PF leading. How much field current would be required to keep VT at 480V?

14. Example 5.2
A 480V, 50Hz, Y-connected, 6-pole synchronous generator has a per-phase synchronous reactance of 1Ω. Its full-load armature current is 60A at 0.8PF lagging. This generator has friction and windage losses of 1.5kW and core losses of 1 kW at 50Hz at full load. Since the armature resistance is being ignored, assume that the I2R losses are negligible. The field current has been adjusted so that the terminal voltage is 480V at no load.
What is the speed of rotation of this generator?
What is the terminal voltage of this generator if the following are true?
It is loaded with the rated current at 0.8 PF lagging.
It is loaded with the rated current at 1.0 PF.
It is loaded with the rated current at 0.8 PF leading.
What is the efficiency of this generator (ignoring the unknown electrical losses) when it is operating at the rated current and 0.8 PF lagging?
How much shaft torque must applied by the prime mover at full load? How large is the induced countertorque?
What is the voltage regulation of this generator at 0.8 PF lagging? At 1.0 PF? At 0.8 PF leading?

21. Example 5.3
A 208-V, 45-kVA, 0.8-PF-leading, 60-Hz, ∆-connected synchronous machine has a synchronous reactance of 2.5 Ω and a negligible armature resistance. Its friction and windage losses are 1.5 kW, and its core losses are 1.0 kW. Initially, the shaft is supplying a 15-hp load, and the motor’s power factor is 0.8 leading. (a) sketch the phasor diagram of this motor, and find the values of IA, IL, and EA (b) assume that the shaft load is now increased to 30 hp. Sketch the behaviour of the phasor diagram in response to this change. (c) find IA, IL, and EA after the load change. What is the new motor power factor?

22. Synchronous Motor Operation Effect of Field Current Changes

23. Example 5.4
The 208-V, 45-kVA, 0.8-PF-leading, 60-Hz, ∆-connected synchronous motor of the previous Example is supplying a 15-hp load with an initial power factor of 0.85 lagging. The field current IF at these conditions is 4.0 A. (a) sketch the initial phasor diagram of this motor, and find the values of IA and EA (b) if the motor’s flux is increased by 25%, sketch the new phasor diagram of the motor. What are EA, IA, and the power factor of the motor now? (c) assume that the flux in the motor varies linearly with the field current IF. Make a plot of IA versus IF for the synchronous motor with a 15-hp load.
