2. (a) Explain the effects of distributed winding and use of short pitched coils on the
magnitude of generated voltage of alternator.
(b) Calculate the RMS value of the induced emf per phase of a 10- pole, 3, 50 Hz
alternator with 20 slots per pole per phase and 4 conductors per slot in two layers. The
coil span is 150 . The flux per pole has a fundamental component of 0.12 Wb and a
20% third component.
5. (a) What is synchronizing power? Explain its significance with parallel operation of
alternators.
(b) Two star connected synchronous generators connected in parallel have an emf of 1200
volts per phase share a common star connected load of impedance (2+j1.0)
ohms/phase. The synchronous impedance of the machines are Z s1 = (0.1+j2)
ohms/phase and Zs2 = (0.2+j3.0) ohms per phase respectively. Determine the common
terminal voltage, load current, power outputs and the no load circulating current when
two machines internal e.m.f's have a phase divergence of 50 electrical.

7. (a) Develop the excitation circle for a cylindrical rotor synchronous motor. How are
the circles helpful in studying the steady state behavior of synchronous motors?
(b) A 3-phase, star-connected non-salient pole synchronous motor connected to a 6.6KV mains has
an armature impedance of (2.5+j15.0) /Phase. The excitation of the machine gives a generated emf of
7.0 KV. The iron and friction losses amount to 10KW. Determine the output of the motor when
operating at a load angle of 310(electrical).
