The induced emf in a 3.3 kV , 4-pole, 3-phase, star-connected synchronous motor is considered to be equal and in phase with the terminal voltage under no load condition. On application of a mechanical load, the induced emf phasor is deflected by an angle of $2^{\circ}$ mechanical with respect to the terminal voltage phasor. If the synchronous reactance is $2 \Omega$, and stator resistance is negligible, then the motor armature current magnitude, in ampere, during loaded condition, is closest to __________ .
