Q#2 Synchronous Machines GATE EE 2020 (Set 1) NAT +2 marks -0 marks

A cylindrical rotor synchronous generator with constant real power output and constant terminal voltage is supplying 100 A current to a 0.9 lagging power factor load. An ideal reactor is now connected in parallel with the load, as a result of which the total lagging reactive power requirement of the load is twice the previous value while the real power remains unchanged. The armature current is now _________ A (Rounded off to 2 decimal places).
