Problem 3
A 208-V, three-phase, Y-connected, synchronous motor load is 7.2 kW at 0.8 pf leading. The synchronous
reactance of the motor is 4 ohm/phase and the armature-winding resistance is negligible. If the field
excitation is adjusted to decrease the excitation voltage by 50% while the load on the motor remains the
same, determine (a) the new torque angle, (b) the new armature current, and (c) the new power factor.
