The V-curves of a synchronous motor show relationship between Armature current (Ia) and Excitation current (If). The Inverted V-curves of a synchronous motor show relationship between power factor (pf) and field excitation (If).
The methods often employed in practice to improve system stability are: 1. Increasing System Voltage 2. Reduction in Transfer Reactance 3. Using High Speed Circuit Breaker 4. Automatic Reclosing 5. Transient Stability 6. Turbine Fast Valving 7. Application of Braking Resistors 8. Single Pole Switching:
