Q#1 Synchronous Machines GATE EE 2002 MCQ +2 marks -0.66 marks

A 415 V, 2 poles, 3 phases, 50 Hz, star connected, non-salient pole synchronous motor has synchronous reactance of 2 Ω per phase and negligible stator resistance. At a particular field excitation, it draws 20 A at unity power factor from a 415 V, 3 phase, 50 Hz supply. The mechanical load on the motor is now increased till the stator current is equal to 50A. The field excitation remains unchanged. Determine:

(a) The per phase open circuit voltage

(b) The developed power for the new operating condition and corresponding power factor

(a) 242.92V
(b) Power factor = 0.9845 lag and P=35.38 kW

(a) 342.92V
(b) Power factor = 0.8845 lag and P=45.38 kW

(a) 242.92V
(b) Power factor = 0.9845 lead and P=45.38 kW

(a) 342.92V
(b) Power factor = 0.8845 lag and P=35.38 kW
