Problem 1:
A 480-V, 60 Hz, four-pole synchronous motor draws 50 A from the line at unity power factor and full
load. Assuming that the motor is lossless, answer the following questions:

(a) What is the output torque of this motor? Express the answer both in newton-meters and in
pound-feet.

(b) What must be done to change the power factor to 0.8 leading? Explain your answer, using phasor
diagrams.

(c) What will the magnitude of the line current be if the power factor is adjusted to 0.8 leading?

Problem 2:
A 480-V, 60 Hz, 400-hp 0.8-PF-leading six-pole Δ-connected synchronous motor has a synchronous
reactance of 1.1 Ω and negligible armature resistance. Ignore its friction, windage, and core losses
for the purposes of this problem.

(a) If this motor is initially supplying 400 hp at 0.8 PF lagging, what are the magnitudes and angles of
EA and IA?

(b) How much torque is this motor producing? What is the torque angle δ? How near is this value to
the maximum possible induced torque of the motor for this field current setting?

(c) If |EA|is increased by 15 percent, what is the new magnitude of the armature current? What is
the motor’s new power factor?

(d) Calculate and plot the motor’s V-curve for this load condition.

Problem 3:
A 480-V 100-kW 0.85-PF leading 50-Hz six-pole Y-connected synchronous motor has a synchronous
reactance of 1.5 Ω and a negligible armature resistance. The rotational losses are also to be ignored.
This motor is to be operated over a continuous range of speeds from 300 to 1000 r/min, where the
speed changes are to be accomplished by controlling the system frequency with a solid-state drive.

(a) Over what range must the input frequency be varied to provide this speed control range?

(b) How large is EA at the motor’s rated conditions?

(c) What is the maximum power the motor can produce at the rated conditions?

(d) What is the largest EA could be at 300 r/min?

(e) Assuming that the applied voltage Vφ is derated by the same amount as EA , what is the maximum
power the motor could supply at 300 r/min?

Problem 4:
A 208-V Y-connected synchronous motor is drawing 40 A at unity power factor from a 208-V power
system. The field current flowing under these conditions is 2.7 A. Its synchronous reactance is 0.8 .
Assume a linear open-circuit characteristic.

(a) Find the torque angle .

(b) How much field current would be required to make the motor operate at 0.8 PF leading?

(c) What is the new torque angle in part (b)?

Problem 5:
A 480-V 375-kVA 0.8-PF-lagging Y-connected synchronous generator has a synchronous reactance of
0.4  and a negligible armature resistance. This generator is supplying power to a 480-V 80-kW 0.8-
PFleading Y-connected synchronous motor with a synchronous reactance of 1.1  and a negligible
armature resistance. The synchronous generator is adjusted to have a terminal voltage of 480 V
when the motor is drawing the rated power at unity power factor.

(a) Calculate the magnitudes and angles of EA for both machines.

(b) If the flux of the motor is increased by 10 percent, what happens to the terminal voltage of the
power system? What is its new value?

(c) What is the power factor of the motor after the increase in motor flux?
