Synchronous Machine Homework Help: Calculating Generated Voltage and Power Angle

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating generated voltage and power angle for various synchronous machines under different power factors. Participants seek assistance with homework problems involving a 4MVA alternator, a 750kVA alternator, a 3-phase star-connected alternator, and a single-phase alternator. Key calculations include determining full-load generated voltage at unity and lagging power factors, as well as open-circuit voltage and power angle. The original poster expresses confusion and indicates that the material was not covered in their coursework. Overall, the thread emphasizes the need for guidance in understanding synchronous machine calculations.

Homework Statement


1. A 4MVA, 13.3kV, 60Hz, 3 phase, delta-connected alternator has an effective resistance of 5.2 ohm/phase and a combined armature reactance of 54 ohm/phase. Determine the full-load generated voltage per phase, a. At unity pf, b. at 0.8 pf lagging, and at 0.866 leading pf.

2. A 750kVA, 2300V, delta-connected, 3-phase alternator has had open and short circuit tests performed and the following date were obtained:

Short Circuit test

Field current = 31.5A
Line current = rated

Open-circuit test

Field-current = 31.5A
Line voltage=1050V

The dc resistance across the terminals was measured at 0.38 ohm. Calculate the V.R. at 0.8pf lagging.

3. Calculate the open circuit votlage of a 3phase, star-connected alternator, 4 pole, 60Hz, 120 slots with each slot having 6 conductors in two layers. The machine is running at 1800rpm with a flux per pole of 125 milliWeber. The coil span is 12.

4. A single phase alternator, 50kVA, 460V supplies the rated load at 0.88 pf lagging. The dc resistance across the terminals is 0.5 ohm and the synchronous reactance is 2.5 ohm. Calculate the angle of the power.
