At a location in Europe, it is necessary to supply 300 kW of 60-Hz power. The only power sources available operate at 50 Hz. It is decided to generate the power by means of a motor-generator set consisting of a synchronous motor driving a synchronous generator. How many poles should each of the two machines have in order to convert 50-Hz power to 60-Hz power?

Two identical 2,000 kW alternator operates in parallel. The governor of the first machine is such that the frequency drops uniformly from 50 Hz at no-load to 48 Hz at full-load. The corresponding uniform speed drop of the second machine is 50 Hz to 47.5 Hz. What is the maximum load that can be delivered without overloading either machine?
A synchronous generator is connected to a pure capacitive load. The field excitation is kept constant and the stator resistance is assumed negligible. Explain, with the help of phasor diagram(s), how the generator’s terminal voltage will vary when the capacitive load is increased while the power factor is kept constant.

In DC shunt generator the type of current flows in field winding is AC whereas in armature winding it is DC. * True O False If the field winding of a DC shunt motor gets disconnected while in normal operation the speed will decrease to a tremendously low value and the motor may get stop. * True O False A DC series generator is considered suitable for general electric supply. * True False
A 250-V, 50-kW shunt generator has 1000 turns on each pole of its field winding. On no load a current of 3:5 A in the field winding produces a terminal voltage of 250 V, but on full load the shunt current has to be increased to 5 A for the same terminal voltage at the same speed. Calculate the number of series field turns per pole required for level compounding.
A short-shunt compound wound generator has a shunt field resistance of 77 ohms, a series field resistance of 0.008 ohms, a commutating pole winding resistance of 0.005 ohms, and an armature resistance including brushes of 0.02 ohms. When the armature current is 128 amperes, the generated emf is 234.5 volts.

A 10-kW, 250-V compound (long-shunt) generator has a no-load voltage of 230 V. The shunt field has 800 turns per pole and the series field 8.5 turns per pole. The shunt- and the series-field resistances are 80 ohms and 0.07 ohm, respectively. In order to make the generator flat-compound, so that it will have a no-load voltage of 230 V and a full-load voltage of 230 V, the series must produce 225 amp-turns.
