The results of a slip test for determining direct axis (Xd) and quadrature axis (Xq) reactances of a star connected salient pole alternator are given below Phase values: Vmax = 108 V ; Vmin = 96 V Imax = 12 A ; Imin = 10 A Hence the two reactances will be

 Xd = 9Ω and Xq = 9.6Ω
 Xd = 9.6Ω and Xq = 9Ω
 Xd = 10.8Ω and Xq = 8Ω
 Xd = 8Ω and Xq = 10.8Ω

In a dc generator operating on load with its brushes on the geometrical neutral axis (GNA), the magnetic neutral axis (MNA) is shifted in the direction of rotation. Now, if the brushes are given a lead of 90° (electrical), then the MNA will

 shift forward by less than 90°
 shift forward by 90°
 shift forward by more than 90°
 coincide with the GNA
