The minimum of a V-curve corresponds to

  • A.unity power factor at that load
  • B.the largest torque the machine can develop at that excitation
  • C.the point at which the machine loses synchronism
  • D.zero excitation of the field winding of the machine

Answer: A

Correct answer: unity power factor at that load

At the bottom of the V the armature current is the smallest that can carry the load, which means it is carrying real power only - no reactive component in either direction. Under-excited operation lies to the left, with lagging current, and over-excited to the right, with leading current, and both draw more current for the same power. Running at the minimum therefore gives the least armature copper loss.
