A 480 V, 50 Hz, Y-connected six-pole synchronous generator has aper-phase synchronous reactance of 1.0
Ω. Its full-load armature current is 60 A at 0.8 PF lagging. Itsfriction and windage losses are 1.5 kW and
core losses are 1.0 kW at 60 Hz at full load. Assume that thearmature resistance (and, therefore, the I2R
losses) can be ignored. The field current has been adjusted suchthat the no-load terminal voltage is 480 V.
a. What is the speed of rotation of this generator?
b. What is the terminal voltage of the generator if :

it is loaded with the rated current at 0.8 PF lagging;
it is loaded with the rated current at 1.0 PF;
it is loaded with the rated current at 0.8 PF leading.

c. What is the efficiency of this generator (ignoring theunknown electrical losses) when it is operating
at the rated current and 0.8 PF lagging?
d. How much shaft torque must be applied by the prime mover at thefull load? how large is the induced
counter-torque?
e. What is the voltage regulation of this generator at
i. 0.8 PF lagging ii. at Unity PF iii. at 0.8 PF leading?
