Question

A two-pole, 50 Hz, 13.8 kV, 10 MVA, star-connected synchronous generator achieves the
rated open-circuit voltage at a field current of 842 A. It achieves the rated armature current
into a three-phase terminal short circuit for a field current of 226 A.

When this generator is connected to a 13.8 kV distribution feeder of negligible impedance
and operates at an output power of 8.75 MW at 0.9 power factor lagging, work out the resultant load angle and reactive-power output if the field current is reduced to 842 A, while the shaft-power supplied by the prime mover to the generator remains
constant.
