EXERCISE PROBLEMS

 

1. The effective resistance of a 2200 V, 50 Hz, 440 kVA, 1 phase alternator is 0.5 Ω. On short circuit a field current of 40 A, gives the full load current of 200 A. The electromotive force on open circuit with same field excitation is 1160 V. Calculate the synchronous impedance and reactance. [Ans: XS = 5.77Ω]

 

2. A 3 phase, 12 pole alternator is coupled to an engine running at 500 rpm. The alternator supplies an induction motor which has a full load speed of 1455 rpm. Find the slip the number of poles of the induction motor. [Ans: P=4]

 

3. Calculate the pitch factor if winding has 36 slots, 4 poles and coil span of 1 to 8. [Ans: Kc=0.9848]

 

4. A 1500 KVA, 6600 V, 3 phase, star connected alternator has a resistance of 0.6 Ω per phase and synchronous reactance of 5 Ω per phase. Calculate the full load regulation at 0.8 p.f lag and lead. [Ans: % Regulation = 12.67%, Regulation = ‒ 7.45%]

 

5. Calculate the distribution factor for a 36 ‒ slots, 4 ‒ pole, single‒layer three phase winding. [Ans: Kd=0.96]

 

6. A 3 phase 12 pole synchronous machine has a star connected full pitch winding with 108 slots and 12 conductors per slot. The flux per pole is 50 mWb and sine distributed. The speed of rotation is 500 rpm. Find the frequency, phase emf and the line emf. [Ans: Eph=2301.7 V, EL = 3986.65 V]
