Synchronous Machine: Steady State and Transient Operations 95<br />

V f = V o + (–jX TH I f ) = V o + DV ...(4.47)<br />

EXERCISE<br />

4.1. A three phase synchronous generator produces an open circuit line voltage of 6000 volt when the<br />

dc exciting current is 50 Amp. The ac terminals are then shrot circuited, and the three line currents<br />

are found to be 660 Amp. Calculate (a) the synchronous reactance per phase (b) the terminal<br />

voltage if three 12 ohm resistors are connected in Y across the terminals.<br />

Ans. (a) 5.248 ohm (b) 5.5 kv.<br />

4.2. A three phase, 50 Hz synchronous generator is driven at constant synchronous speed by a prime<br />

mover. The armature windings are initially open-circuited and field voltage is adjusted so that the<br />

armature terminal voltage is at the rated value (i.e., 1.0 pu). The machine has x² d = 0.15 pu,<br />

x¢ d = 0.40 pu and xd = 1.20 pu. Determine the steady state, transient and subtransient short circuit<br />

currents.<br />

Ans. 0.833 pu, 2.50 pu, 6.67 pu
