A 3 phase synchronous generator generates an open circuit phase voltage of 2000 V when the exciting current is 50 A

A 3 phase synchronous generator generates an open circuit phase voltage of 2000 V when the exciting current is 50 A. The short circuit current for same excitation being 400 A. The value of synchronous reactance per phase is:

1. 2.5 Ω
2. 5 Ω
3. 7.5 Ω
4. 12.5 Ω

Correct answer: 2. 5 Ω

Explanation:

Synchronous reactance (Xs) = Eph/Isc = 2000/400 = 5 Ω

Where in the formula

Eph = Rated open circuit phase voltage

Isc = Short circuit current per phase using same exciting current that was required to produce Eph
