Question
A 6.6kW, 220V, 1000 rpm DC shunt generator is having 𝑅𝑓 = 55Ω field circuit resistance
and 𝑅𝑎 = 0.5Ω armature resistance. The frictional and windage loss is 300W. Determine
a) the full load voltage regulation of the machine assuming the induced back emf
does not change with load.
b) efficiency of the machine at rated output and voltage

Solution
220
Field current 𝐼𝑓 = = 4A at rated terminal voltage. Load current at full load 𝐼𝐿 =
𝑅𝑓
6.6×1000
= 30A. Hence, armature current at full load 𝐼𝑎 = 𝐼𝐿 + 𝐼𝑓 = 34A. Induced back
220
emf at full load 𝐸𝑓 = 220 + 𝐼𝑎 × 𝑅𝑎 = 237V.
At no load, 𝐼𝐿 = 0A. Hence, let the no load terminal voltage be 𝑉𝑛𝑙 . Thus, by KVL of DC
shunt generator with induced back emf remaining same at no load,
𝐸𝑓 = (𝑅𝑎 + 𝑅𝑓 )𝑉𝑛𝑙 /𝑅𝑓
𝐸𝑓 𝑅𝑓
⇒ 𝑉𝑛𝑙 = = 234.8648𝑉
(𝑅𝑎 + 𝑅𝑓 )
𝑉𝑛𝑙 −220
a) Thus, full load voltage regulation is × 100% = 6.76%
220
b) At rated output and voltage, output power is 6.6kW, armature loss is 𝐼𝑎2 𝑅𝑎 = 578W,
field loss is 𝐼𝑓2 𝑅𝑓 = 880W, frictional and windage loss is 300W (given). Thus,
efficiency is
6.6 × 1000
× 100% = 78.96%
6.6 × 1000 + 578 + 880 + 300

Question
A three phase, 21kV, 1500MVA, cylindrical rotor synchronous machine having 𝑋𝑠 =
0.5𝛺/phase and negligible resistance is delivering 200MW to an infinite bus at 0.8
lagging power factor. Determine
a) the magnitude of per-phase internal emf and torque angle
b) the maximum real power transfer for internal emf magnitude in part a)
c) armature current corresponding to maximum power transfer in part c)

Solution
21
Let per-phase terminal voltage be reference phasor, i.e., 𝑉𝑡 = ∠0°kV. Given, 𝑋𝑠 =
√3
0.5𝛺, 𝑃3𝜑 = 200MW, power factor is 0.8 lagging. Thus, per-phase armature current is
𝐼𝑎 = |𝐼𝑎 |∠ −cos−1 0.8A. Also,
𝑃3𝜑 = 3|𝑉𝑡 ||𝐼𝑎 | × 0.8
21000
⇒ 200 × 1000000 = 3 × × |𝐼𝑎 | × 0.8
√3
⇒ |𝐼𝑎 | = 6873.21749𝐴
a) Consequently, internal emf is 𝐸𝑓 = 𝑉𝑡 + 𝑗𝐼𝑎 𝑋𝑆 = 14450.26928∠10.9678°𝑉
3|𝑉𝑡 ||𝐸𝑓 |
b) Maximum real power transfer is 𝑃3𝜑,𝑚𝑎𝑥 = = 1051.201MW for torque angle
𝑋𝑠
𝛿 = 90°

c) Associated armature current is 𝐼𝑎 = = =
