    The document discusses the efficiency of a 1500 kVA, 2300 V, 3-phase alternator operating at a power factor of 0.8. It lists the iron losses as 35 kW, friction and windage losses as 15 kW, and stray load losses as 1.5 kW. It also discusses calculating the synchronizing power and torque of alternators connected in parallel. It provides an example of calculating the torque of a 1800 kVA, 6.6 kV, 3-phase alternator delivering full load current at 0.82 power factor lagging for one mechanical degree. Finally, it asks to calculate the synchronizing power and torque for a 2.5MVA, 4 pole alternator running

    Alternator Efficiency

    where: Pi = iron loss PF&W = friction and windage loss


    Pcu = copper loss Pa = armature copper loss = nIa2Rac ; n=no. of phases

    1. Determine the efficiency of a 1500 kVA, 2300 V, 3-phase Y-connected alternator which operates at pf=
    0.8. The dc resistance at 70°C between terminals is 0.08 ohm. The field takes 70 A at 120 V from the
    exciter equipment.
    F&W = 15kW ; Pi = 35 kW ; SPL = 1.5 kW
    Assume skin effect to be 1.5

    Synchronizing Power

    where:

    1. Find the torque of a 1800 kVA, 6.6 kV, 3-phase, Y-connected, 6-pole alternator having a resistance of 0.4
    ohm reactance of 6 ohms delivers FL current at normal rated speed and 0.82 pf lagging for one mechanical
    degree.

    degree.

    2. A 2.5MVA, 4 pole alternator runs at 1150 rpm in parallel with other


    machine on 3300 V bus bars. The synchronous reactance is 23%.
    Calculate the synchronizing power and torque for one mechanical
    degree. Find the maximum power per phase when the alternator is
    delivering FL at 0.88 lag.
