I. SOLVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. A three – phase star connected 1200 kVA, 3300 V, 50 Hz alternator has

armature resistance of 0.25-ohm er phase. A field current of 40 A

produces a short circuit current of 200 A and an open circuit emf of 1100

V between lines. Calculate the regulation on full load at 0.8 power factor

lagging.

2. A three – phase star-connected alternator has an armature resistance of

0.1 ohm per phase. When excited to 173.3 V line voltage and on short

circuit the alternator gave 200 A. What should be the emf (in line terms)

the alternator must be excited to, in order to maintain a terminal

potential difference of 400 V with 100 A armature current at 0.8 power

factor lagging?
