Best Answer

The overall reactance of the armature winding is the sum of its leakage reactance plus fictitious reactance, which is known as synchronous reactance (Xs).

Xs=XL+Xar

where XL and Xar are in Ω/phase. Therefore, Xs is in Ω/phase.

The impedance of armature winding is obtained by combining its resistance and its synchronous reactance.

mainly alternator,synchronous motor comes under the synchronous machine.a synchronous motor is not a self starting motor.if a synchronous motor moves with more than synchronous speed then it acts as a synchronous generator.

What is synchronous reactance?

Synchronous Reactance (in a generator analysis domain) is and equivalent series per-phase inductance term (think per-phase winding resistance) and is mainly composed of the machine's per-phase leakage inductance (equivalent series inductance of primary and secondary flux leakage) and armature reaction (distortion in flux introduced by an armature current in a machine, once again on a per-phase basis; described as a series inductance). L_SyncReac=L_leakage+L_ArmatureReaction. That sort of touches the surface of synchronous reactance.


How many types of AC generator are there?

Induction type alternator and synchronous generator.


In order to reduce inductive reactance what devices are normally placed on transmission or distribution lines?

== == Add a capacitor or a synchronous motor or a phase advancer to the transmission line so that it can nullify the effect of inductive reactance since the above elements gives capacitive reactance. Doing this also improves the power factor.


Difference between synchronous generator and synchronous motor?

ASYNCHRONOUS is a mode whereby events happens irregardless of control. SYNCHRONOUS are this same events but controlled by a timing and/or control


When alternator will act as induction generator?

when its speed becomes greater than the synchronous speed.

What is the variation of synchronous impedance with the state of magnetic saturation of machine?

in modern trend, synchronous impedance of alternator should be high. If impedance are more than voltage drop across its arm. Wdg. Is more .according to the phasor diagram of alternator if IaXs componant is more than magnitude of induced emf will also be increased.
