EE320 Homework # 9

Synchronous Machines

SOLUTION

Problem 1: A 4-pole, 60Hz, Y-connected, 3-phase generator has a regulated terminal line-to-neutral
voltage of Vas = 260Vr ms ∠0 , a synchronous reactance of 0.06Ω , a stator resistance of 0.003Ω ,
and
Lsf = 0.02H . The balanced 3-phase load draws 2MW at a lagging 0.8 power factor.

a. Compute the 3-phase complex power of the load (magnitude and angle)
b. Compute the generator phase current (magnitude and angle; hint: the angle of the current should
be negative for the load to have a lagging power factor)
c. Find the required excitation voltage ( E a )
d. Calculate the required field current
e. Calculate the required speed of the prime mover

Problem 2: Given the same machine as in problem 13.1. If the excitation voltage is E a = 360Vrms∠14
and the field current is adjusted to maintain the same terminal voltage as in Problem 13.1,

a. Find the new generator phase current

b. Calculate the 3-phase real power consumed by the load and identify the new power factor
c. Calculate the generator efficiency (consider stator winding losses as the only losses)

Problem 3: A 3-phase, Y-connected, 6-pole, 60Hz generator has X S = 1Ω , negligible rS (stator

resistance), and Lsf = 0.2H . The machine operates at a power angle of 31.48  with a field current of
100A. The line-to-neutral terminal voltage is 2400Vrms.

a. Find the speed of the prime mover in rad/sec

b. Determine the excitation voltage
c. Find the line current
d. Find the power consumed by the load and its power factor
e. Find the developed torque
