A 400 V. 6-pole, 3-. 50 Hz. star-connected synchronous motor has negligible armature resistance and 42 synchronous reactance per phase. It takes a current of 15 A at unity power factor when operating with a certain ficld current. If the load torque is gradually increased until the line current is 60 A, the field current remaining unchanged, find the gross torque developed and the new power factor.

A 400 V. 6-pole, 3-6, 50 Hz. stur-connected synchronous motor
has negligible armature resistance and 42 synchronous reactance
per phase. It takes a current of 15 A at unity power factor when
operating with a certain field current. If the load torque is gradually
increased until the line current is 60 A, the field current remaining
unchanged, find the gross torque developed and the new power
factor.
