the input mechanical power of a single alternator is
increased,its RPM increased but in case of an alternator
synchronised with grid its RPM does not increased with
increase of input mechanical power. why?

Answer Posted / ck misra

when the mechanical input to an alternator connected to
grid is changed it temporarily does increase the speed(RPM).
But an increase in speed means consequent increase in
frequency(as N=120f/P and P being the no. of poles is
constant)of the alternator.Now we know that the voltage and
frequency of grid busbar(what we call infinite busbar)are
constant(off course within some tolerance limit)and the
whole system has large electrical inertia which tends to
oppose any change in voltage level or frequency. So the
alternator is pulled back to synchronism by the grid.
BUT in case of stand alone alternator there is nothing to
pull the alternator back to synchronism and we can increase
the speed with a consequent rise in frequency....

1. A 380 / 220 V r.m.s. 3-phase 4-wire circuit carries loads of 8 + j8.1 ohm; 4 + j4.1 ohm; and 2 +j2.1 ohmin the three phases respectively. The length of the circuit is 100 m, and the resistivity of the phase conductors is 0.0005 Ω/m. The neutral conductor is of the same size as the phase conductors. a) Select a reference angle 0for the first phase. Then write down the three phase voltages in both polar format and complex number format. b) Make appropriate assumptions, and take temperature effects on resistance is insignificant. Calculate the currents in the three phases. (Note: Determine conductor resistance, and apply Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law) Based on the result, suggest a main switch rating for the circuit. c) Show your preferred direction of neutral current in a diagram, and then determine its value. (Note: Apply superposition principle, and Kirchhoff’s Current Law) Use its magnitude to show that in this circuit, the unbalanced load may increase the voltage drop in some of the phases. (Note: Also observe the common volt drip in neutral) State your assumptions, if there are any. d) Suddenly the neutral wire of the circuit is broken. Estimate the new currents in the first phase, i.e. Phase L1. State your assumptions, if there are any.
