Starting Torque and Maximum Torque

Thus a reduction of 10% in line voltage causes about 23% increase in Cu losses.

Example. 34.13 (b). A 230-V, 6-pole, 3-f, 50-Hz, 15-kW induction motor drives a constant torque load at rated frequency, rated voltage and rated kW output and has a speed of 980 rpm and an efficiency of 93%. Calculate (i) the new operating speed if there is a 10% drop in voltage and 5% drop in frequency and (ii) the new output power. Assume all losses to remain constant.

Example 34.14 (a). A 3-phase, 400/200-V, Y-Y connected wound-rotor induction motor has 0.06W rotor resistance and 0.3 W standstill reactance per phase. Find the additional resistance required in the rotor circuit to make the starting torque equal to the maximum torque of the motor.

Example 34.14 (b). 3-phase, 50-Hz, 8-pole, induction motor has full-load slip of 2%. The rotor- resistance and stand still rotor-reactance per phase are 0.001 ohm and 0.005 ohm respectively. Find the ratio of the maximum to full-load torque and the speed at which the maximum torque occurs.

Example 34.14 (c). A 12-pole, 3-phase, 600-V, 50-Hz, star-connected, induction motor has rotor-resistance and stand-still reactance of 0.03 and 0.5 ohm per phase respectively. Calculate:

(a) Speed of maximum torque. (b) ratio of full-load torque to maximum torque, if the full-load speed is 495 rpm.

Example 34.15. A 746-kW, 3-phase, 50-Hz, 16-pole induction motor has a rotor impedance of (0.02 + j 0.15) W at standstill. Full-load torque is obtained at 360 rpm. Calculate (i) the ratio of maximum to full-load torque (ii) the speed of maximum torque and (iii) the rotor resistance to be added to get maximum starting torque.

Example 34.16. The rotor resistance and reactance per phase of a 4-pole, 50-Hz, 3-phase induction motor are 0.025 ohm and 0.12 ohm respectively. Make simplifying assumptions, state them and :

(i) find speed at maximum torque

(ii) find value of additional rotor resistance per phase required to give three-fourth of maximum torque at starting. Draw the equivalent circuit of a single-phase induction motor.

(Elect. Machines, Nagpur Univ. 1993)

Solution. (i) At maximum torque, s = R2/X2 = 0.025/0.12 = 0.208.

Example. 34.17. A 50-Hz, 8-pole induction motor has F.L. slip of 4%. The rotor resistance/phase = 0.01 ohm and standstill reactance/phase = 0.1 ohm. Find the ratio of maximum to full-load torque and the speed at which the maximum torque occurs.

Example 34.18. For a 3-phase slip-ring induction motor, the maximum torque is 2.5 times the full-load torque and the starting torque is 1.5 times the full-load torque. Determine the percentage reduction in rotor circuit resistance to get a full-load slip of 3%. Neglect stator impedance.

Example 34.19. An 8-pole, 50-Hz, 3-phase slip-ring induction motor has effective rotor resistance of 0.08 W/phase. Stalling speed is 650 r.p.m. How much resistance must be inserted in the rotor phase to obtain the maximum torque at starting? Ignore the magnetising current and stator leakage impedance.

(Elect. Machines-I, Punjab Univ. 1991)

Solution. It should be noted that stalling speed corresponds to maximum torque (also called stalling torque) and to maximum slip under running conditions.

Example 34.21. A 4-pole, 50-Hz, 7.46.kW motor has, at rated voltage and frequency, a starting torque of 160 per cent and a maximum torque of 200 per cent of full-load torque. Determine (i) full- load speed (ii) speed at maximum torque.

Example 34.22. A 3-phase induction motor having a 6-pole, star-connected stator winding runs on 240-V, 50-Hz supply. The rotor resistance and standstill reactance are 0.12 ohm and 0.85 ohm per phase. The ratio of stator to rotor turns is 1.8. Full load slip is 4%.

Calculate the developed torque at full load, maximum torque and speed at maximum torque.

(Elect. Machines, Nagpur Univ. 1993)

image

Example 34.23. The rotor resistance and standstill reactance of a 3-phase induction motor are respectively 0.015 W and 0.09 W per phase. At normal voltage, the full-load slip is 3%. Estimate the percentage reduction in stator voltage to develop full-load torque at half full-load speed. Also, calculate the power factor.

(Adv. Elect. Machines, A.M.I.E. 1989)

Solution. Let Ns = 100 r.p.m. F.L. speed = (1 - 0.03)100 = 97 r.p.m.

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 :

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

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 serve
