Electrical Machines

  1. A field excitation of 20 A in a certain alternator results in an armature current of 400 A in short circuit and a terminal voltage of 2000 V on open circuit. The magnitude of the internal voltage drop within the machine at a load current of 200 A is
    1. 1 V
    2. 10 V
    3. 100 V
    4. 1000 V
Correct Option: D

Synchronus impedance,

Zs =
Vio
=
2000
= 5 Ω
ISC400


∴ Voltage drop = IZs
= 200 × 5 = 1000 V
