Question

An 11 kV, three-phase, star-connected alternator has a synchronous impedance of
10∟80° Ω/phase and operates at unity power factor on infinite bus bars. It supplies a
current of 300 A by using a general load diagram. Determine:
(a) the full-load current for normal excitation ( motor mode)
(b) the current and power factor for 100% excitation on 25% overload (generator mode)
(c) the maximum power that the machine can develop in the generator mode for 50% excitation
