Q-5: A 750 kW, 11 kV, 3-phase, star-connected synchronous motor has a synchronous
reactance of 35 W/phase and negligible resistance. Determine the excitation emf (i.e. voltage
induced in stator windings) per phase when the motor is operating on full-load at 0.8 pf
leading. Its efficiency under this condition is 93%. Draw the phasor diagram for full load
condition and 0.8 pf.
