An 3 phase alternator star connected 400 V synchronous motor takes a power input of 5472 watts at rated voltage. Its synchronous reactance is 10** per phase and negligible resistance. If its excitation voltage is adjusted equal to the rated voltage of 400 V, its power factor is _______(a) cos(10°)(b) cos(20°)(c) cos(40°)(d) cos(30°)The question was asked in an interview for internship.Question is taken from Power Flow Through an Inductive Impedance topic in chapter Efficiency and Regulation of Electrical Machines

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) COS(10°)

Best EXPLANATION: VT = Ef = 400/1.73 = 231 V

V*Esinδ/X = P

δ = 20°

θ = δ/2.
