SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR

The operation of a synchronous generator delivering power to a constant power-factor load is demonstrated by means of animated phasor diagrams and compounding curves. A compounding curve shows the field excitation needed to maintain rated terminal voltage as the load is varied. The basic phasor equation isE = V + jX I.
