Example. A submarine has a 3-phase, Y-connected, 2-pole, 60Hz synchronous generator rated to
deliver 1687.5 kVA at a F
P
= 0.8 lagging with a line voltage of 450-V. The machine stator resistance R
S
= 0.004 . The synchronous reactance X
S
= 0.08 . The actual system load on the machine draws 900
kW at F
P
= 0.6 lagging. Assume that a voltage regulator has automatically adjusted the field current so
that the terminal voltage is its rated value. Mechanical losses are 100 kW.
(a) Determine the reactive and apparent power delivered by the generator.
(b) Find the current delivered by the generator
(c) What is the overall efficiency?

Example. An Arleigh-Burke Class destroyer has a 3-phase, Y-connected, 4-pole, 60 Hz synchronous
generator, rated to deliver 3.75 MVA with a 0.8 lagging power factor and a line voltage of 450 V. The
machine stator resistance is negligible and the synchronous reactance is equal to 0.04 . The actual
system load on the machine draws 2 MW at a 0.8 F
p
lagging. Assume that a voltage regulator has
automatically adjusted the field current so that the terminal voltage, V
AN
, is at its rated value.
(a) What is the rated speed?
(b) Determine the reactive and apparent power delivered by the generator.
(c) Find the current drawn from the generator using the terminal voltage, V
AN
, as the reference phasor.
(d) Determine the induced voltage, E
