Question
Question 1: Why do we keep the speed oí the synchronous generator constant at no-load?
What happens if the speed varies? Explain your observations.
Question 2: Why does not the generator voltage increase when the excitation current (le)
increases over the nominal value?
Question 3:Explain the voltage at the terminals of the generator when the speed is at
rated value (1500 rpm) but the excitation current is zero (le=0). What happens if we touch
the terminals of the generator at this instance?
Question 4: Do we observe a voltage at the output if we reverse the direction of the
excitation current? Why? Explain.
Question 5: Sketch and analyze the no-load operation curve of the generator using the
values recorded in the experiment.
Question 6: State your final observations about the experiment.
