Synchronous Generator Objectives Part 08
141 . Consider the following statements about a three-phase synchronous generator synchronized to an infinite bus when its mechanical input is increased gradually with field current held constant: 1. The power factor of the current supplied becomes more lagging. 2. The power factor of the current supplied improves. 3. The power factor remains unity. 4. The load angle is increased. Of these statements (B) 2 alone is correct
142 . A 3-phase synchronous generator, with its armature resistance and the leakage reactance being neglected, is synchronized to an infinite bus and its field excitation is kept constant thereafter. Now the machine is loaded by Supplying mechanical input to the shaft so that the load-angle δ reaches a value of 60° Under this condition, the operating power-factor would be 0.866 lagging
143 . A round rotor synchronous generator has a leakage reactance of 10%, armature reaction reactance of 90% and negligible armature resistance. With the machine initially running at rated speed and terminal voltage of 1.0 p.u., a 3-phase short-circuit is applied. The sustained armature current will be 1.11 p.u
144 . Following a sudden short-circuit at the terminals of a 3-phase unloaded synchronous generator, the initial effect of the pole-face damper windings, is to allow only partial linkage of the armature flux with the main field winding
145 . In A masteron dosage per week synchronous generator operating at zero pf lagging, the effect of armature reaction is demagnetizing

147 . The steady-state stability limit of a synchronous generator can be increased by an increase in the excitation of the machine
