Question 6.4: A three-phase, 230-V, 60-Hz, 12-kW, four-pole wound-rotor in......

A three-phase, 230-V, 60-Hz, 12-kW, four-pole wound-rotor induction motor has the following parameters expressed in Ω/phase.

R_1=0.095 \quad X_1=0.680 \quad X_2=0.672  \quad X_m=18.7

Using MATLAB,^† plot the electromechanical mechanical torque T_{mech} as a function of rotor speed in r/min for rotor resistances of R_2 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0  \text{and}  1.5  Ω.

%Here are the motor parameters

V1  =  230/sqrt(3) ;

nph  =  3 ;

poles  =  4 ;

fe  =  60 ;

R1  =  0.095;

X1  =  0. 680;

X2  =  0.672;

Xm  =  18.7;

%Calculate the synchronous speed

omegas  =  4 * pi * fe/poles;

ns  =  120 * fe/poles;

%Calculate stator Thevenin equivalent

Z1eq  =  j * Xm * (R1 + j * X1)/(R1 + j * (X1 + Xm)) ;

R1eq  =  real(Z1eq) ;

X1eq  =  imag(Z1eq) ;

V1eq  =  abs(V1 * j * Xm/ (R1 + j * (X1 + Xm))) ;

%Here is the loop over rotor resistance

for m  =  1 : 5

if m  ==  1

R2  =  0.1;

elseif m == 2

R2 = 0.2;

elseif m == 3

R2  =  0.5 ;

elseif m == 4

R2  =  1.0 ;

else

%Here is the loop over slip

for n = 1 : 200

s(n)  =  n/200 ;        %slip

rpm(n)  =  ns * (1 - s(n)) ;     %rpm

I2  =  abs(V1eq/ (Z1eq +  j * X2 + R2/s(n))) ;     %I2

Tmech(n) = nph * I2^2 * R2/(s(n) * omegas);       %Electromechanical torque

end     %End of slip loop

%Now plot

plot (rpm, Tmech)

if m  ==  1

hold
