The per-phase armature winding resistance, R can be measured by the
a
ammeter voltmeter method. From Z the value of X can be calculated as
s
s
Voltage regulation for a particular load current and power factor can then
be calculated.
Example 10.5 A 3 MVA, 6600 V, three-phase, star-connected synchronous
generator has a resistance of 0.2 Ω and synchronous reactance of 3.5 Ω per
phase. Calculate the regulation at rated output at 0.8 power factor lagging.
The speed and excitation remain constant.
Solution:

Given line voltage = 6600 V
R = 0.2 Ω
