What effects are produced by change in voltage? 1. Iron los..........varies approximately as V². 2. Cu loss..........it also varies as V² but decreases with an increase in voltage if constant kVA output is assumed. 3. Efficiency...........for distribution transformers, efficiency at fractional loads decreases with in- crease in voltage while at full load or overload it increases with increase in voltage and vice- versa. 4. Regulation..........it varies as but decreases with increase in voltage if constant kVA output is assumed. 5. Heating.........for constant kVA output, iron temperatures increase whereas Cu temperatures decrease with increase in voltages and vice-versa.
Two turbo alternators rated for 140 MW and 260 MW have gov ernor drop characteristics of 5% from no load to full load. They are connected in parallel to share a load of 250 MW. Determine the load shared by each machine suming free governing action.
Why rating of an Alternator is expressed in terms of VA,KVA or MVA ? Option 1: As losses are square times of the power factor Option 2: As losses depends on power factor Option 3: As losses are independent of power factor Option 4: As losses are inversely proportional to the power factor.

In a given system of base power of 250 MW, and bus 3 is taken as reference. The per-unit reactances are X12 = 0.2 p.u., X13 = X23 = 0. 1 p.u. The power flow in the system is given as: PF12 = 50 MW, PF13 = 150 MW, PF23 = 50 MW. Based on readings from 2 meters (not including M12 meter), M13 = 145 MW (not calibrated), and M23 = 50 MW (well calibrated), deduce the flow on line 1-2. Select one: O a. PF12 = - 47.5 MW. O b. None of these O c. PF12 = 67.5 MW. O d. PF12 = 47.5 MW. O e. PF12 =- 57.5 MW. O f. PF12 = 57 MW.

Two 60MVA, alternators operate in parallel. The setting of the governor are such that the rise in speed from full load to no load is 2% in one machine and 3% in the other, the characteristics being straight lines in both cases. If each machine is fully loaded when the total load is 120MW, what will be the load on the first machine (with 2% speed regulation) when the total load is reduced to 80MW?
