The expression for voltage regulation of a short transmission line for leading power factor is given by: ____, where, 'I' is the line current, 'V_r' is the receiving end voltage, 'R' is the line resitance and 'X' is the line reactance.
For lagging power factor = (IR*cosφ + IXsinφ)/V_r For leading power factor = (IR*cosφ - IXsinφ)/V_r Zero voltage regulation occurs on leading power factor only.
Equivalent resistance of the circuit, Req = (12||18) + 8 Req = 7.2 + 8 Req = 15.2 ohm Source current = current through 8 ohm resistor, I = Vr/R8 I = 20/8 I = 2.5 A Supply votage V = I*Req V = 2.5*15.2 V = 38 V
The neutral point of a generator is usually earthed to facilitate protection of the stator winding and associated system. Earthing also prevents damaging transient overvoltages in the event of an arcing earth fault or ferro resonance. For HV generators, impedance is usually inserted in the stator earthing connection to limit the magnitude of earth fault current.
