CALCULATION FOR VOLTAGE REGULATION

The voltage regulation up is expressed mathematically by
images
Positive sign is for lagging power factor and negative sign is for leading power factor.

1.31.1 Zero Voltage Regulation

For lagging power factor and unity power factor, 0V2 > V2. Therefore, we get positive voltage regulation. For leading power factor, V2 starts increasing. At a certain leading power factor, 0V2 = V2 and hence regulation becomes zero. If the load power factor is further increased, 0V2 becomes less than V2 and hence regulation becomes negative. For zero voltage regulation, we have
0V2 – V2 = 0
i.e.,     I2(R02cosθ–X02sinθ)=0

Equation (1.56) shows the leading power factor at which voltage regulation becomes zero.

1.31.2 Condition for Maximum Voltage Regulation

Maximum voltage regulation can be obtained for lagging power factor. For maximum voltage regula-tion, we have
images
i.e.,      –R02sinθ+X02cosθ=0
i.e., images
This is satisfied only when the power factor of the load is lagging. The regulation is maximum when the load power factor angle is equal to the impedance angle of the transformer.
i.e.,      images
Equation (1.58) shows the power factor of the load at which voltage regulation is maximum.
Figure 1.41 shows the variation of regulation with the power factor of the load. Figure 1.41 also shows that regulation becomes maximum when the power factor of the load is lagging and it becomes zero when the power factor is leading.

Demagnetising and Cross Magnetizing Conductors

The conductors which are responsible for producing demagnetizing and distortion effects are shown in the Fig.1. Fig. 1        The brushes are lying along the new position of MNA which is at angle θ  from GNA. The conductors in the region AOC = BOD = 2θ  at the top and bottom of the armature are carrying current in such a direction as to send the flux in armature from right to left. Thus these conductors are in direct opposition to main field and called demagnetizing armature conductors.         The remaining armature conductors which are lying in the region AOD and BOC carry current in such a direction as to send the flux pointing vertically downwards i.e. at right angles to the main field flux. Hence these conductors are called cross magnetizing armature conductors which will cause distortion in main field flux.        These conductors are shown in the Fig. 2 Fig. 2  ...

Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control of dc motor

Speed Control of D.C. Shunt Motor (Part2)  2. Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control        The speed is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the armature. As the supply voltage is normally constant, the voltage across the armature can be controlled by adding a variable resistance in series with the armature as shown in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Rheostat control of shunt motor        The field winding is excited by the normal voltage hence I sh is rated and constant in this method. Initially the reheostat position is minimum and rated voltage gets applied across the armature. So speed is also rated. For a given load, armature current is fixed. So when extra resistance is added in the armature circuit, I a remains same and there is voltage drop across the resistance added ( I a R). Hence voltage across the armature decreases, decreasing the speed below normal value. By varyi...

Characteristics of Separately Excited D.C. Generators

The characteristics is separately excited d.c. generator are divided into two types, 1) Magnetization   and         2) Load characteristics. 1.1 Magnetization or Open Circuit Characteristics         The arrangement to obtain this characteristics is shown in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1  Obtaining O.C.C. of separately excited generator        The rheostat as a potential driver is used to control the field current and the flux. It is varied from zero and is measured on ammeter connected.        E o  = (ΦPNZ) / (60A)        As I f is varied, then Φ change and hence induced e.m.f. E o  also varies. It is measured on voltmeter connected across armature. No Load is connected to machine, hence characteristics are also called no load characteristics which is graph of E o  against field current I f as sho...
