Question
A 480 V, 50 Hz, Y-connected, six-pole synchronous generator has the OCC shown in Figure
below. This generator has a synchronous reactance of 0.1 02 and an armature resistance of
0.012 02. At full load, the machine supplies 700 A at 0.8 PF lagging. Under full-load conditions,
the friction and windage losses are 40 kW, and the core losses are 30 kW. Ignore any field
circuit losses.
