Sol:- For salient pole synchronous machine

Total power\(\ P=\frac{EV}{X_d}\sin δ+\frac{V^2}{2}\left(\frac{1}{X_q}-\frac{1}{X_d}\right)\sin 2δ\)

\(\rm \frac{EV}{X_d}\sin δ\) = Electromagnetic power

\(\frac{V^2}{2}\left(\frac{1}{X_q}-\frac{1}{X_d}\right)\sin 2δ\) = reluctance power

F1 Madhuri Engineering 10.05.2022 D20

Electromagnetic power Vs δ is sinusoidal.

Total power vs δ is non sinusoidal.

∴ power & torque is directly proportional.

Curve (B) represents electromagnetic torque.
