A 3-phase, 5 MVA, kV, 60 Hz synchronous machine has a
synchronous reactance of 10 ohms per phase. The machine is
connected to kV, 60 Hz bus and is operated as synchronous condenser
(synchronous motor at no-load condition)
a. For normal excitation (excitation voltage terminal voltage),
find the line current. Draw the phasor diagram
b. If the excitation is increased to 150% of the normal excitation,
find the line current and reactive power delivered or absorbed by
the bus. Draw the phasor
C. If the excitation is decreased to 50% of the normal excitation,
find the line current and the reactive power delivered or absorbed
by the bus. Draw the phasor diagram
