why stator winding of synchronous machine are connected in
star connection ?

Answer Posted / rakesh

The stator windings are connected in star because for the
same line voltage generated in an alternator or fed in case
of a motor the per phase voltage induced will only be
v/1.732 , hence the no. of turns required will be less and
hence the copper material required will also be less ,
besides te star connection also enables the provision of a
neutral which can aid in safe passage of fault currents .

I have 2500KVA transformer delta/star,13.8KV/380V provided with LV 4000A breaker. Already I have 2300KW motor feeder with a full load 90%. Is it possible to connect another 1600A from that breaker? If so how the calculation is done?

A 10 MVA, 66KV, 50Hz, Y-connected 3-phase alternator has synchronous reactance of 0.635 Ù. It is working at full load at 0.8 lagging p.f. condition. Find torque angle, neglect armature resistance.

I am having a 42KW 3 phase electrical heating furnace, heating element is 80/20 nichrome material, my connections is made in such a way that 2 star connection compromising 2 coils per phase so totally 12 coils, shall if i use it unbalanced star condition (instead of 2 group of 3 phase or 1 group of 3 phase, connecting 4 phases of 5 phases) what will be the consequences and is it acceptable?
