Example 3
A 480V, 50 Hz, Y connected, six pole synchronous generator is rated at 50 kVA at 0.8 PF lagging. It has a synchronous reactance of 1.0 per phase. Assume that this generator is connected to a steam turbine capable of supplying up to 45 kW. The friction and windage losses are 1.5 kW, and the core losses are 1.0 kW. (a) (b) (c) (d) Sketch the capability curve for this generator, including the prime-mover power limit. Can this generator supply a line current of 56 A at 0.7 PF lagging? Why or why not? What is the maximum amount of reactive power this generator can produce? If the generator supplies 30 kW of real power, what is the maximum amount of reactive power that can be simultaneously supplied?
