1. Describe with neat sketch, the constructional details of salient pole alternators. [15]

2. A 3-phase, 8-pole, 750 rpm star – connected alternator has 72 slots on the armature. Each slot has 12 conductors and winding is short chorded by 2 slots. Find the induced emf between lines, given the flux per pole is 0.06 wb. [15]

3. What is armature reaction? Explain the effect of armature reaction on the terminal voltage of an alternator at

4. A straight – line law connects terminal voltage and load of a 3-phase star – connected alternator delivering current at 0.8 P.f lagging. At no load, the terminal voltage is 3500V and at full load of 2280kw, it is 3300v.

Calculate the terminal voltage when delivering current to a 3-phase, star- connected load having a resistance of 8O and a reactance of 6O per phase. Assume constant speed and field excitation. [15]

b) Explain briefly load characteristics of alternator. [8+7]

4. A 3-phase, 1500 kvA, star-connected, 50-Hz, 2300v alternator has a resistance of 0.12Ω. A field current of 70A produces a short – circuit current equal to fuel load current of 376A in each line. The same field current produces an emf of 700V on open circuit. Determine the synchronous reactance of the machine and its full load regulation at 0.8 lagging power factor.
