Open questionEENAT2 marksNeeds review
A cylindrical rotor synchronous generator with constant real power output and constant terminal voltage is supplying 100 A current to a 0.9 lagging power factor load. An ideal reactor is now connected in parallel with the load, as a result of which the total lagging reactive power requirement of the load is twice the previous value while the real power remains unchanged. The armature current is now ______ A (rounded off to 2 decimal places).

Bus 1 with voltage magnitude
pu is sending reactive power
towards bus 2 with voltage magnitude
pu through a lossless transmission line of reactance
. Keeping the voltage at bus 2 fixed at 1 pu, magnitude of voltage at bus 1 is changed, so that the reactive power
sent from bus 1 is increased by 20%. Real power flow through the line under both the conditions is zero. The new value of the voltage magnitude,
, in pu (rounded off to 2 decimal places), at bus 1 is ______.

Windings ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ have 20 turns each and are wound on the same iron core as shown, along with winding ‘X’ which has 2 turns. The figure shows the sense (clockwise/anti-clockwise) of each of the windings only and does not reflect the exact number of turns. If windings ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ are supplied with balanced 3-phase voltages at 50 Hz and there is no core saturation, the no-load RMS voltage (in V, rounded off to 2 decimal places) across winding ‘X’ is ______.
