Option 4 : Potier Method
ZPF or Potier triangle method:
- This method depends on the separation of the leakage reactance of armature and its effects.
- It is used to obtain the leakage reactance and field current equivalent of armature reaction.
- It is also called a general method of voltage regulation.
- It is the most accurate method of voltage regulation.
- For calculating the regulation, it requires open circuit characteristics and zero power factor characteristics.
The following assumptions are made in this method.
- The armature resistance is neglected.
- The O.C.C taken on no-load accurately represents the relation between MMF and voltage on load.
- The leakage reactance voltage is independent of excitation.
- The armature reaction MMF is constant.
