               Objective question answer 

               Ref: on  Electrical Machinery Fundamentals, by Stephen J. Chapman.

 

1.   In the synchronous generator, what is the speed of the rotor? to generate 60Hz power in two-pole machine :

 

900 r/min

1800 r/min

3600 r/min

7200 r/min

 

 

 

2.   What is difference between synchronous motor and synchronous generator ?

 

Starting Methods are different. 

Different insulation used.

Cooling arrangement are different.

  No difference.

 

 

 

3.   The basic speed of synchronous motor is depend on 

 

Input voltage.

Input frequency

Load

Power factor.

 

 

 

4.  The PF of synchronous motor is 

 

Very according to excitation

Always leading

UPF

Always lagging.

 

 

 

5.  In the synchronous motor Ia versus If curve is known as :

 

Output curve

Input curve

V curve

U curve
