Objective:
To find the parameters of synchronous generator (Ra, Xs)
Introduction:
Synchronous machines are principally used as alternating current (AC)
generators. They supply the electric power used by all sectors of modern
societies: industrial, commercial, agricultural, and domestic.
1. Armature resistance, Ra
2. Voltage induced by the field winding, Ea
3. Synchronous reactance, XS
1) DC test
Finds Ra
DC test Procedure:
1) Apply dc voltage to stator
2) Adjust dc source until rated current flows
