1. Calculate the fundamental, third and fifth harmonic breadth factors for a stator with 36 slots
wound for 3-phase, 4-poles.
2. A 3-phase, 16-pole synchronous generator has a star-connected winding with 144 slots and 10
conductors per slot. The flux per pole is 0.04 Wb (sinusoidally distributed) and the speed is 375
rpm. Find the frequency and phase and line induced emf’s. The total turns/phase may be assumed
to be series connected.
3. Draw a single-layer unbifuracated winding for a 3-phase, 4-pole machine having 24 armature
slots. Assume one coil-side. Cleary show the end connection of a continuous chain arrangement
is used.
4. Give a developed view of double-layer armature winding for a 3-phase machine with 6 poles and
36 slot, If full-pitched coils are used. Indicate all end connection and the start and finish of each
phase
5. A 3-phase, 50-Hz, 10-pole machine has 120 armature slots. What harmonic frequencies will be
present in the generated emf on account of slotting ? How do these affect the operation of the
machine?
6. The following data were obtained for the OCC of a 10 MVA, 13 kV, 3-phase, 50 Hz,
starconnected synchronous generator: If (A) 50 75 100 125 150 162.5 200 250 300 VOC (line)
(kV) 6.2 8.7 10.5 11.6 12.8 13.7 14.2 15.2 15.9 An excitation of 100 A causes the full-load
current to flow during the short-circuit test. The excitation required to give the rated current at
zero pf and rated voltage is 290 A. (a) Calculate the adjusted synchronous reactance of the
machine. (b) Calculate the leakage reactance of the machine assuming the resistance to be
negligible. (c) Determine the excitation required when the machine supplies full-load at 0.8 pf
lagging by using the leakage reactance and drawing the mmf phasor diagram. What is the voltage
regulation of the machine? Also calculate the voltage regulation for this loading using the
adjusted synchronous reactance. Compare and comment upon the two results.
