AC MACH MODULE 3

(PROBLEMS)
1. Two – 3-phase, 4160V, 60Hz alternators are connected
in parallel. The total load of the system is 1050kW at 75%
lagging pf. If alternator A is carrying 700kW at 80% pf
lagging, determine the kVAR of alternator B. (ANS.
401KVAR)

2. Two alternators A and B are operating in parallel


supplying a load of 1000 kVA at 0.8 pf lagging. If
alternator A contributes 500 kVA at 0.6 pf lagging,
determine the power factor of B. (ANS. 0.9284 lagging)
3. Two identical, 3-phase, Y-connected alternators A and
B share equally a load of 10MW at 33kV at 0.8pf lagging.
The synchronous reactance of each machine is 4 ohms
per phase and the armature resistance is negligible.
Alternator A has its field excitation adjusted to carry
125A lagging current. What is the current supplied by
alternator B? (ANS. 97A)

4. Two alternators are connected in parallel. The total


load is 4250kW at 0.85 pf lagging. Alternator A operates
with a load of 2125kW at 0.707 pf lagging. Determine the
kVA load of alternator B. (ANS. 2185 KVAR)
5. Two Y-connected alternators A and B are running in
parallel supplying the following loads at 3.3kV: LOAD 1
800kW at unity pf LOAD 2 – 600kW at 0.8 pf lag and
LOAD 3 – 400kW at 0.707 pf lag. If alternator A is
adjusted to carry an armature current of 150A at 0.85 pf
lagging, what is the armature current of alternator B?
(ANS. 200A)

6. Two AC generators running in parallel supply the


following loads: 400kW at unity pf; 500kW at 0.9 lagging
pf; 600kW at 0.866 lagging pf. One machine is loaded to
1000kW at 0.92 lagging pf, what is the operating pf of the
second machine? (ANS. 0.951 lagging)
