A synchronous motor is rated at 100 kVA. The motor is connected to an infinite bus of 5 kV. The synchronous reactance of the motor is 0.1 ?. The motor is running at a no-loading condition (real power output is zero). All losses can be ignored. Calculate the equivalent field voltage Ef that operates the motor as a synchronous condenser delivering 100 kVAR to the infinite bus. Draw the phasor diagram. (A synchronous condenser produces reactive power and no real power.)

What will be an ideal response?

Refer to Exercise 12 in Section 3.2. Assume that = 50 ± 1 MPa,w = 1.2 ± 0.1 mm, and k = 0.29 ±0.05 .

a. Estimate ?, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.
b. Which would provide the greatest reduction in the uncertainty in : reducing the uncertainty in ?0 to 0.1 MPa, reducing the uncertainty in w to 0.01 mm, or reducing the uncertainty in k to 0.025 ?
c. A new, somewhat more expensive process would allow both and w to be measured with negligible uncertainty. Is it worthwhile to implement the process? Explain.
