A salient pole synchronous generator has following per-unit parameter Xd = 1.2 pu, Xq = 0.8pu, ra = 0.25 ohms. Then the armature current at 0.8 lagging is?
(a) 1,-36.9°
(b) 1, 36.9°
(c) 1, 73°
(d) 1, 27°
I have been asked this question in final exam.
This intriguing question originated from Two Reaction Theory of Salient Pole Machines in chapter Synchronous Machines of Electrical Machines
