  1. A star connected 400V, 50Hz, 4 pole synchronous machine gave the following open circuit and short circuit test results :
    Open circuit test : Voc = 400 V (rms, line-to-line) at field current, If = 2.3 A
    Short circuit test : Isc = 10 A (rms, phase) at field current, If = 1.5 A
    The value of per phase synchronous impedance in Ω at rated voltage is _____________
    1. 156
    2. 15.06
    3. 16
    4. 5.06
Correct Option: B

For open circuit test :
VOC = 400 V (L – L)1 If = 2.3 A
For short circuit test :
ISC = 10 A (phase), If = 1.5 A
We know,

∴ ISC =
2.3
× 10 = 15.33 A
1.5

∴ Zs =
VOC
ISC

=
400 / √3
= 15.06
15.33

= 15.06 Ω / ph
