Question 9.30: A 400 V, 3-phase, star connected induction motor draws 40 A ...

A 400 V, 3-phase, star connected induction motor draws 40 A at a line voltage of 80 V with rotor locked. The power drawn by the motor under this condition is 480 W. the DC resistance measured between a pair of stator terminals is 0.2 Ω. if the core loss is 80 W and the ratio of AC to DC resistance is 1.4, determine the equivalent leakage reactance per phase of the motor as well as stator and rotor resistance per phase.

Here, V_{sc\left(L\right) } = 80  V; I_{sc} = 40  A; P_{sc} = 480  W

Phase voltage at short circuit, V_{sc} = \frac{V_{sc\left(L\right) }}{\sqrt{3} } = \frac{80}{\sqrt{3} } = 46.2  V

Equivalent impedance referred to stator side/phase,

Z_{eq1} = \frac{V_{sc}}{I_{sc}} = \frac{46.2}{40 } = 1.115  \Omega

 

At short-circuit copper loss P_{c} = P_{sc} – P_{i} = 480 – 80 = 400  W

Equivalent resistance referred to stator side/phase,

Z_{eq1} = \frac{P_{c}}{I_{sc^{2}}} = \frac{400}{\left(40\right) ^{2} } = 0.25  \Omega

 

Equivalent reactance referred to stator side/phase,

X_{eq1} = \sqrt{Z_{eq1}^{2}- R_{eq1}^{2}} = \sqrt{\left(1.115\right)^{2} – \left(0.25\right)^{2} }\\[0.5cm] \qquad = \mathbf{1.087  \Omega }

 

DC resistance of the stator winding/phase,

R_{dc} = \frac{0.2}{2} = 0.1  \Omega

 

AC resistance of the stator winding/phase,

R_{ac} = R_{1} = 0.1 \times 1.4 = \mathbf{0.14  \Omega}

 

Rotor resistance referred to stator side/phase,

R^{\prime}_{2} = 0.25 – 0.14 = \mathbf{0.11  \Omega }
