Mark the correct expression for alternator working at a lagging power factor.(a) tanψ = (IaXq – Vtsinθ)/(Vtcosθ – Ia*ra)(b) tanψ = (IaXq + Vtsinθ)/(Vtcosθ – Ia*ra)(c) tanψ = (IaXq + Vtsinθ)/(Vtcosθ + Ia*ra)(d) tanψ = (IaXq – Vtsecθ)/(Vtcosecθ – Ia*ra)This question was addressed to me at a job interview.Origin of the question is Two Reaction Theory of Salient Pole Machines topic in portion Synchronous Machines of Electrical Machines

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) tanψ = (IaXq – Vtsinθ)/(Vtcosθ – Ia*ra)

The explanation is: The internal POWER factor ANGLE is GIVEN as tanψ = (IaXq – Vtsinθ)/(Vtcosθ – IARA) for an alternator.
