Short-Circuit Problem

A synchronous generator supplies power to a synchronous motor connected directly to its terminals. The sub-transient reactance of the generator and motor on a certain kva base and the rated voltage of the machines are 20 and 100%, respectively. The current supplied by the generator is 80% of base current. The power factor at the […]

Synchronous Machine

A synchronous machine has the three line terminals connected together so that all three phases are in parallel. A single-phase alternating voltage is applied between the line terminals and the neutral terminals with ammeter, A, as shown below. If the test voltage “V” is set equal to 0.55 per unit and the ammeter is reading […]

Power Flow Problem

Given the simple radial system below, if Zline has an angle of 80° and Zload has an angle of 10°, which of the following statements is false? A) As Zload increases, Pr increases rapidly at first and then slowly before reaching a maximum, and finally decreases. B) The power transmitted is maximum when the voltage […]
