A $$25$$ $$kVA,$$ $$400$$ $$V,$$ $$\Delta $$ - connected, $$3$$-phase, cylindrical rotor synchronous generator requires a field current of $$5$$ $$A$$ to maintain the rated armature current under short-circuit condition. For the same field current, the open-circuit voltage is $$360$$ $$V.$$ Neglecting the armature resistance and magnetic saturation, its voltage regulation (in $$\% $$ with respect to terminal voltage), when the generator delivers the rated load at $$0.8$$ $$pf$$ leading, at rated terminal voltage is ____________.

A three-phase, $$50$$ $$Hz$$ salient-pole synchronous motor has a per-phase direct-axis reactance $$\left( {{X_d}} \right)$$ of $$0.8$$ $$pu$$ and a per-phase quadrature-axis reactance $$\left( {{X_q}} \right)$$ of $$0.6$$ $$pu.$$ Resistance of the machine is negligible. It is drawing full-load current at $$0.8$$ $$pf$$ (leading). When the terminal voltage is $$1$$ $$pu,$$ per-phase induced voltage, in $$pu,$$ is ______________.

A three-phase, $$11$$ $$kV,$$ $$50$$ $$Hz,$$ $$2$$ pole, star connected, cylindrical rotor synchronous motor is connected to an $$11$$ $$kV,$$ $$50$$ $$Hz$$ source. Its synchronous reactance is $$50\Omega $$ per phase, and its stator resistance is negligible. The motor has a constant field excitation. At a particular load torque, its stator current is $$100$$ $$A$$ at unity power factor. If the load torque is increased so that the stator current is $$120$$ $$A,$$ then the load angle (in degrees) at this load is ____________.

A three phase synchronous generator is to be connected to the infinite bus. The lamps are connected as shown in the figure for the synchronization. The phase sequence of bus voltage is $$R$$-$$Y$$-$$B$$ and that of incoming generator voltage is $$R'$$ - $$Y'$$ - $$B'.$$
It was found that the lamps are becoming dark in the sequence $${L_a} - {L_b} - {L_c}.$$ It means that the phase sequence of incoming generator is
