A 3-phase, 22 kV (phase), 500 MVA (phase) star-connected synchronous generator has a per phase reactance Xs of 1.5 pu and supplies 0.8 pu per phase real power (P) at the rated voltage, with a lagging power factor of 0.6 to the load. Calculate the magnitude of the actual complex power consumed by the load in MVA (per phase).

Step 1
The formula for apparent power is: S = P / power factor In this case, the real power (P) is given as 0.8 pu per phase, and the power factor is given as 0.6. Plugging in these values, we get: S = 0.8 / 0.6 = 1.33 pu per phase Show more…

A three-phase, 318.75-kVA, 2300-V alternator has an armature resistance of 0.35 Ω/phase and a synchronous reactance of 1.2 Ω/phase. Determine the no-load line-to-line generated voltage and the voltage regulation at a) Full-load kVA, 0.8 power factor lagging, and rated voltage b) Full-load kVA, 0.6 power factor leading, and rated voltage
