The resultant flux density in the air gap of synchronous generator is lowest during:

  • A. Open Circuit
  • B. Solid Short Circuit
  • C. Full Load
  • D. Half Load

Answer: B. Solid Short Circuit

Explanation: During a solid terminal short circuit, the lagging short-circuit current produces a strong directly demagnetising armature reaction, drastically reducing the air-gap resultant flux density.
