Question

A 460 V, 50 kW, 50 Hz, three-phase synchronous motor has a synchronous reactance of
Xs = 4.15 Ω and an armature-to-field mutual inductance of Laf = 83 mH. The motor is
operated with rated terminal voltage and an input power of 40 kW. Calculate the
magnitude and phase angle of the generated phase back-emf, E af , and the corresponding
field current, if the motor is operating at:

0.85 power factor leading,

unity power factor
