Consider the following statements about excitation.

1. Over-excitation gives a leading power factor.

2. Normal excitation gives unity power factor.

3. Normal excitation is a fixed field current.

Which are correct?

  • A.2 and 3 only
  • B.1 and 3 only
  • C.1 and 2 only
  • D.1, 2 and 3

Answer: C

The first two are definitions. The third is false: the field current for unity power factor rises with the load, because there is more armature reaction to offset, so normal excitation traces a locus rather than a point.
