To get the armature resistance of a 100 MW, 13.89 kV and 90% power
factor generator, two terminals are connected to a DC source. The measured
current and voltage are 87.6 amperes and 6 volts respectively. What is the
DC resistance per phase?

A.  0.0223 ohm

B.  0.0342 ohm

C.  0.0685 ohm

D.  0.0617 ohm

8.  EE Board Exam October 1991

Determine the efficiency of a 1500 kVA, 2300 V, 3-phase, Y-connected

alternator, whichoperates at rated output with a power factor of 80%. The
DC armature resistance at 70°C between terminals is 0.08 ohm. The field
takes 70 A at 120 V from the exciter equipment. Friction and windage losses
are 15 kW, iron loss is 35 kW and stray load losses are 1.5 kW. Assume the
effective armature winding resistance is 1.5 times the DC value.

A.  94.56%

B.  90.31%

C.  93.35%

D.  92.62%
