Demonstrative Video


Problem-1

A 440-V, 3-phase, 50-Hz, Y-connected induction motor has a full-load speed of 1425 rpm. The rotor has an impedance of \((0.4+j4)~ \Omega\) and rotor/stator turn ratio of 0.8. Calculate

  1. Full load-torque

  2. Rotor current and full-load rotor Cu loss

  3. Power output if windage and friction losses amount to 500 W

  4. Maximum torque and the speed at which it occurs

  5. Starting current

  6. Starting torque

Solution-1


Problem-2

A 100-KW, 3300-V, 50-Hz, 3-phase, star connected induction motor has a synchronous speed of 500 rpm. The full-load slip is 1.8% and F.L power factor 0.85. Stator copper loss = 2440 W. Iron loss = 3500 W. Rotational losses = 1200 W. Calculate:

  1. the rotor copper loss

  2. the line current

  3. the full-load efficiency
