A 15kVA, 440V, single-phase alternator draws a field current of 5A at rated load. With the same field current, the open circuit emf and short-circuit current are 100V and 80A respectively. The ohmic resistance of the armature between terminals is 0.12 ohm. The ratio of effective to ohmic resistance maybe taken as 1.1. Determine the voltage regulation (in %) when the load is purely resistive.
