Example 1
A 9375 kVA, 13,800 kV, 60 Hz, two pole, Y-connected
synchronous generator is delivering rated current at rated
voltage and unity PF. Find the armature resistance and
synchronous reactance given that the filed excitation
voltage is 11935.44 V and leads the terminal voltage by an
angle 47.96°.
Example 2
A cylindrical rotor machine is delivering active power of
0.8 p.u. and reactive power of 0.6 p.u. at a terminal
voltage of 1 p.u. If the power angle is 20°, compute the
excitation voltage and the machine’s synchronous
reactance.

Efficiency

The efficiency of the transformer is the ratio of output (secondary)
power to the input (primary) power. Formally the efficiency is η:

Where,
P1 : The input power (Primary) = V1I1 cosf1
P2 : The output power (Secondary) = V2I2 cosf2
