Show that an alternator running in parallel on constant-voltage and frequency bus-bars has a natural time period of oscillation. Deduce a formula for the time of one complete oscillation and calculate its value for a
5000-kVA,3-phase,
10,000Vmachine running at 1500 r.p.m. on constant
50-Hzbusbars. The moment of inertia of the whole moving system is
14112kg-m^(2)and the steady short-circuit current is five times the normal full-load value. [1.33 second]
