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.
It is conducting OC and SC tests on the given three phase alternator and determining the regulation by synchronous impedance method.
Kamal Koshal has written: 'Direct and quadrature-axis synchronous reactance measurement'
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.
Induction type alternator and synchronous generator.
== == 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.
ASYNCHRONOUS is a mode whereby events happens irregardless of control. SYNCHRONOUS are this same events but controlled by a timing and/or control
when its speed becomes greater than the synchronous speed.
E=Vt + Ia jXS Where E excitation voltage Vt Terminal voltage Stator Current Ia Xs synchronous Reactance
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.
Inductive reactance, as well as capacitive reactance, is measured in ohms.
