The figure above shows the no-load excitation (LL) curve of a 3-ph, 2-pole, 60 Hz, 1000 kVA,
2.3 kV synchronous alternator at rated speed. The alternator has negligible resistance and Synchronous
Reactance Xs = 1.2 92/phase.
If the alternator is synchronized to the Power Grid at 2.3 kV (Line to Line), calculate the following:
The value of excitation current required for full load current at 0.7 pf lagging
