b) A newly built institution has bought a D.C. shunt generator to supply a library in order for students to study using electrical power from this machine when there is load shedding on the national grid. The total load of the library is 50 kW through the cables of total resistance of 0.0422. The winding resistance of the generator is 5022 and the armature resistance is 0.0728392. The library is to be supplied at 0.4kV. i. Draw the circuit diagram indicating all the above stated values. ii. Determine the load current (IL). iii.Determine the terminal voltage of the generator.

Synchronous Generator

In comparison to an asynchronous generator, it is a machine where the rotor speed is equal to the rotating magnetic field produced by the stator, i.e., mechanical speed is equal to the electrical speed, thus called synchronous, and not asynchronous.

Salient Pole Rotor

Salient pole rotor includes a large number of exposed poles mounted on a magnetic wheel. The construction of a bright pole is as shown in the image on the left. The proposed poles are made of metal laminations. The rotor winding is provided on these poles and is supported by pole shoes.
