3.1.1: The open circuit voltage of the other machine () assuming it is bigger than that of the first machine.
When two alternators are in parallel and in exact phase opposition, the circulating current is given by:This formula assumes and are in phase, and . However, "exact phase opposition" means and are out of phase.
Let and .
The voltage difference driving the circulating current is .
The magnitude of the circulating current is .This result is negative, which contradicts the assumption that is bigger than . This indicates that the problem statement "exact phase opposition" might be interpreted differently in the context of the given circulating current value, or there's an inconsistency in the problem data.
A common scenario for circulating current in parallel alternators is due to a phase difference between EMFs, or a difference in magnitudes when EMFs are in phase. If they are in "exact phase opposition", it usually means they are out of phase.
If the circulating current is where and are phasors, and and , then .
The magnitude of this voltage difference is .
The magnitude of is .
.
This leads to , which is not physically possible for a magnitude.Let's assume "exact phase opposition" means that the resultant voltage causing the circulating current is (phasor difference), and the problem implies that and are in phase but with different magnitudes, and the "phase opposition" refers to the current flow. This is a common source of confusion.
If and are in phase, and , then .
.This value is positive and greater than , consistent with the problem statement.
The open circuit line voltage of the other machine is .The open circuit voltage of the other machine is:
3.1.2: The terminal voltage (line value).
The terminal voltage (phase value) is the voltage at the busbar. It can be calculated using either alternator's EMF and circulating current.
