06․ A synchorous generator connected to an infinite bus is over excited. Considering only the reactive power from the point view of the system the machine acts as
Since overexcited synchorous generator conncted to an infinite bus. Here no single generator can influence either voltage or frequency.
07․ Two mechanically coupled alternators deliver power at 50 Hz and 60 Hz respectively. Highest speed of alternator is


08․ A part an alternator winding consist of eight coils in series, each having an emf of 20 V rms induced in it. Coils are placed in successive slots and between each slot and the next, there is an electrical phase displacement of 30°. Find the emf of eight coils in series
β = 30° m = 8.
Arithmatic sum of voltage induced in coils = 8 X 20 = 160 V
Vector sum = Kd X airmetic sum = 0.4182 X 160 = 66.91 V.


09․ A 3-φ alternator has negligible stator resistance. A short circuit test is conducted on this alternator. At a particular speed, a field current of If1 is required to drive the rated armature current. If the speed of the alternator is reduced to half, the field current required to maintain rated armature current
If speed is reduced to half, then induced emf will be reduced to half or in other words to maintain rated open circuit voltage, the field current required is two times the previous value
But impedence varies with field current and so unless we know that the value of Zs for various field currents it is impossible to maintain rated current at short circuited condition with the half reduced speed.

10․ A single phase, 2 KV alternator has an armature resistance of 0.8 ohms and 4.94 ohms respectively. The voltage regulation of the alternator at 100 a load 0.8 loading power factor is
% Voltage regulation = (EO - VFL) / VFL X 100 where EO = no load voltage. VFL= rated or full load voltage.
