Instruments required to synchronize an alternator to the grid is/are
A $$20$$-pole alternator is having $$180$$ identical stator slots with $$6$$ conductors in each slot. All the coils of a phase are in series. If the coils are connected to realize...
A negative sequence relay is commonly used to protect
A field excitation of $$20A$$ in a certain alternator results in a armature current of $$400$$ $$A$$ in short circuit and a terminal voltage of $$2000$$ $$V$$ on open circuit. The...
It is desirable to eliminate 5 th harmonic voltage from the phase voltage of an alternator. The coils should be short-pitched by an electrical angle of
A $$50$$ Hz alternator is rated $$500$$ $$MVA,$$ $$20$$ $$kV,$$ with $${X_d} = 1.0$$ per unit and $$X'{'_d} = 0.2$$ per unit. It supplies a purely resistive load of $$400$$ $$MW$$...
The phase sequence of a three-phase alternator will reverse if
A single-phase, 2000 V alternator has armature resistance and reactance of 0.8 ohms and 4.94 ohms respectively. The voltage regulation of the alternator at 100 A load at 0.8 leadin...
Higher synchronous reactance is preferred in the present day alternators, because one can have
A three phase alternator is wound with a 60 degree phase-spread armature windings and develops 300 kVA. If the armature is reconnected utilizing all the coils for single phase oper...
The armature of a single phase alternator is completely wound with T single turn coils distributed uniformly. The induced voltage in each turn is 2 Volts (rms). The emf of the whol...
A $$5MVA$$, $$11kV$$, $$3$$-phase star connected alternator is synchronized to the bus bars and is operating with an induced $$EMF$$ of $$125\% $$ of the rated voltage. If the load...
A single-phase alternator has a synchronous reactance of $$2$$ $$ohms$$ and negligible resistance. If it supplies $$10$$ $$A$$ to a purely capacitive load at $$200V,$$ then generat...
A three phase alternator has negligible stator resistance. A short circuit test is conducted on this alternator. At a particular speed a field current of $${{\rm I}_f}$$ is require...
