REGULATION OF ALTERNATORS

Image
When an alternator is subjected to a varying load, the voltage at the armature terminals varies to certain extent, the amount of this variation determines the regulation of the machine. Phasor diagram of an alternator at lagging power factor is as follows. Regulation is found by the following expression Where V is the terminal voltage and E 0   is the induced voltage. E 0 is estimated by the following methods. 1) EMF Method 2) MMF Method 3) ZPF Method 4) ASA Method 5) Slip Test 1) EMF method (Synchronous impedance method) Conduct tests to find I) OCC ( up to  125% of rated voltage)   II) SCC (for rated current)             III) Armature resistance (per phase) V = rated phase voltage Isc = short circuit current corresponding to the field current producing the rated voltage Synchronous impedance per ...
