Theory: %
t is a simple indirect method of determining the efficienc of +.C. Shunt machine. n this method field
resistance and armature resistance are measured separatel. So losses can be easil calculated on
&arious loads since on no load mechanical output of the machine is ero so the /hole of the input on
the no-load is used to suppl in turn all the losses in the machine i.e shunt field copper loss and
armature copper loss and rotational loss. 'he rotational loss includes iron friction and /indage lossD
iron loss consist of hsteresis and edd current loss.

Theory:
Se&eral reactances ha&e been defined depending upon the tpe of snchronous machine and
time of the transient in /hich one is interested. *or salient pole machine there are t/o classes of
reactances pertaining to polar and interpolar ais (d-and -ais) respecti&el. +etermination of the
reactances of snchronous machines help in predicting short circuit currents from the point of &ie/ of
design of circuit breakers.
'he direct and uadrature ais snchronous reactances @d and @ can be determined b a
slip test. ith the field open circuited the salient pole alternator is dri&en b a prime mo&er at a speed
slightl less than the snchronous speed. 'he armature is connected to a reduced balanced three-
phase &oltage (to limit armature current) /hich sets up mmf /a&e rotating in the same direction as
the rotor. 'he rotating armature mmf ais graduall changes on account of the slipI bet/een
coincidence /ith the d-ais and -ais successi&el. hen the d-ais and the armature mmf ais
coincide the &oltage applied to the armature is eual to the &oltage drop caused b @d. Similarl /hen
the armature mmf ais is in uadrature /ith the d-ais the applied &oltage is eual to the &oltage drop
caused b @. 'he reluctance of the magnetic circuit &aries cclicall bet/een an upper and a lo/er
limit and the armature current conseuentl changes in the re&erse sense. 'herefore the armature
current and &oltage undergo &ariation at slip freuenc. f the slip is small the maimum andminimum &alues of &oltage and current can be read from an indicating &oltmeter and ammeter. 'he
