Problem 583:

A 50- kVA, 550-volt single-phase alternator draws a field current 10 A at

rated load. With the same field current, the open circuit emf and short-circuit
current are 300 V and 150 A. The ohmic resistance of the armature between
terminals is 0.15 ohm. The ratio of effective to ohmic resistance maybe taken as
1.5. Determine the regulation at 0.8 power factor lagging.
