Corresponding Slip

Example 34.54. The maximum torque of a 3-phase induction motor occurs at a slip of 12%. The motor has an equivalent secondary resistance of 0.08 W/phase. Calculate the equivalent load resistance RL, the equivalent load voltage VL and the current at this slip if the gross power output is 9,000 watts.

Solution. RL = R2[ (1/s) - 1] = 0.08 [ (1/0.12) - 1] = 0.587 W /phase.

As shown in the equivalent circuit of the rotor in Fig. 34.53, V is a fictitious voltage drop equivalent to that consumed in the load connected to the secondary i.e. rotor. The

Example 34.55. A 3-phase, star-connected 400 V, 50-Hz, 4-pole induction motor has the following per phase parameters in ohms, referred to the stators.

R1 = 0.15, X1 = 0.45, R2¢ = 0.12, X2¢ = 0.45, Xm = 28.5

Compute the stator current and power factor when the motor is operated at rated voltage and frequency with s = 0.04. (Elect. Machines, A.M.I.E. Sec. B, 1990)

Solution. The equivalent circuit with all values referred to stator is shown in Fig. 34.54.

Example 34.58. A 400 V, 3-f, star-connected induction motor has a stator exciting impedance of (0.06 + j 0.2) W and an equivalent rotor impedance of (0.06 + j 0.22) W. Neglecting exciting current, find the maximum gross power and the slip at which it occurs.

Example 34.60. The equivalent circuit of a 400 V, 3-phase induction motor with a star- connected winding has the following impedances per phase referred to the stator at standstill:

Stator : (0.4 + j 1) ohm; Rotor : (0.6 + j 1) ohm; Magnetising branch : (10 + j 50 ) ohm.

Find (i) maximum torque developed (ii) slip at maximum torque and (iii) p.f. at a slip of 5%. Use approximate equivalent circuit. (Elect. Machinery-III, Bangalore Univ. 1987)

Solution. (ii) Gap power transferred and hence the mechanical torque developed by rotor would be maximum when there is maximum transfer of power to the resistor R2¢/s shown in the approximate equivalent circuit of the motor in Fig. 34.59. It will happen when R2¢/s equals the impedance looking back into the supply source. Hence,

Total Loss in a D.C. Generator The various losses occurring in a generator can be sub-divided as follows : where R a = resistance of armature and interpoles and series field winding etc. This loss is about 30 to 40% of full-load losses. Field copper loss. In the case of shunt generators, it is practically constant and I 2 R (or V I sh ). In the case of series generator, it is = I s e 2 R s e where R s e is resistance of the series field winding. This loss is about 20 to 30% of F.L. losses. (iii) The loss due to brush contact resistance. It is usually included in the armature copper loss. (b) Magnetic Losses (also known as iron or core losses), (i) hysteresis loss, W h µ B max f and ( ii ) eddy current loss, W e µ B max f These losses are practically constant for shunt and compound-wound generators, because in their case, field current is approximately constant. Both these losses total up to about 20 to 30% of F.L. losses. (c) Mechanica l Losses. These consist of :...

Transformer,three phase:Wye/Delta or Y/∆ Connection and Delta/Wye or ∆/Y Connection.

Wye/Delta or Y/∆  Connection The main use of this connection is at the substation end of the transmission line where the voltage is to be stepped down. The primary winding is Y -connected with grounded neutral as shown in Fig. 33.6. The ratio between the secondary and primary line voltage is 1/ 3 times the transformation ratio of each trans- former. There is a 30° shift between the primary and secondary line voltages which means that a Y - D transformer bank cannot be paralleled with either a Y - Y or a D - D bank. Also, third harmonic currents flows in the D to provide a sinusoidal flux. Delta/Wye or ∆/Y Connection This connection is generally employed where it is necessary to step up the voltage as for example, at the beginning of high tension transmission system. The connection is shown in Fig. 33.7. The neutral of the secondary is grounded for providing 3-phase 4-wire service. In recent years, this connection has gained considerable popularity because it can be used to s...

Testing of d.c.Machines:Brake Test

By -
Image
Brake Test It is a direct method and consists of applying a brake to a water-cooled pulley mounted on the motor shaft as shown in Fig. 31.1. The brake band is fixed with the help of wooden blocks gripping the pulley. One end of the band is fixed to earth via a spring balance S and the other is connected to a suspended weight W 1. The motor is running and the load on the motor is adjusted till it carries its full load current. The simple brake test described above can be used for small motors only, because in the case of large motors, it is difficult to dissipate the large amount of heat generated at the brake. Another simple method of measuring motor output is by the use of poney brake one form of which is shown in Fig. 31.2 ( a ). A rope is wound round the pulley and its two ends are attached to two spring balances S 1 and S 2. The tension of the rope can be adjusted with the help of swivels. Obviously, the force acting tangentially on the pulley is equal to the differ ence ...
