the field current unchanged, the load on the motor is increased till it draws 40 A from the supply.
Find the torque developed and the new pf.

excitation. Its synchronous impedance is 1.5+j12 Ω per phase. When the input power is 1000 kW,
the pf is 0.8 leading. Find the pf when input is increased to 1500 kW.
