The 400 V, 50 kVA, 0.8 power factor leading delta connected synchronous motor has synchronous reactance of 3-ohm, resistance neglected. It is supplying a 12-kW load with initial power factor of 0.86 lagging. The windage and friction losses are 2.0 kW and the core losses are 1.5 kW. Determine
(a) the motor efficiency; the line current; armature current; and excitation voltage.
(b) If the flux of the motor is increased by 20 percent determine the excitation voltage; armature current; and the new power factor
