In Example 8.1, we obtained

Z_{i}=26.841\angle43.36~\mathrm{deg}

As a result, with V_{1}=110\angle0, we obtain

I_{1}={\frac{110\angle0}{26.841\angle43.36\,\mathrm{deg}}}=4.098\angle-43.36\,\,\mathrm{deg\,\,A}

The power factor is thus

\cos\phi_{1}=\cos43.36\,\,\mathrm{deg}=0.727

The power input is

P_{1}=V_{1}\,I_{1}\cos\phi_{1}=327.76\,\mathrm{W}

We have from Example 8.1 for s = 0.05,

R_{f}=17.294\ \Omega\ \,\ \ \ \ R_{b}=0.721\ \Omega

Thus we have

P_{g f}=|I_{1}|^{2}R_{f}=(4.098)^{2}(17.294)=290.46\,\mathrm{W} \\  P_{g b}=|I_{1}|^{2}R_{b}=(4.098)^{2}(0.721)=12.109\,\mathrm{W}

The output power is thus obtained as

P_{m}=(1-s)(P_{g f}-P_{g b}) \\ =0.95(290.46-12.109)=264.43\,\mathrm{W}

As we have a four-pole machine, we get

n_{s}={\frac{120(60)}{4}}=1800\,\mathrm{rpm} \\  \omega_{s}={\frac{2\pi n_{s}}{60}}=188.5\,\mathrm{rad/s}

The output torque is therefore obtained as

T_{m}={\frac{1}{\omega_{s}}}(P_{g f}-P_{g b}) \\ ={\frac{290.46-12.109}{188.5}}=1.4767\,\mathrm{N}\cdot\mathrm{m}

The efficiency is now calculated as

\eta={\frac{P_{m}}{P_{1}}}={\frac{264.43}{327.76}}=0.8068

It is instructive to account for the losses in the motor. Here we have the static ohmic losses obtained as

P_{l_{\mathrm{s}}}=|I_{1}|^{2}R_{1}=(4.098)^{2}(1.5)=25.193\,\mathrm{W}

The forward rotor losses are

P_{I_{rf}}=s P_{g\!f}=0.05(290.46)=14.523\,\mathrm{W}

The backward rotor losses are

P_{lb}=(2-s)P_{g b}=1.95(12.109)=23.613\,\mathrm{W}

The sum of the losses is

P_{l}=25.193+14.523+23.613=63.329\,\mathrm{W}

The power output and losses should match the power input:

P_{m}+P_{l}=264.46+63.33=327.76\,\mathrm{W}

which is indeed the case.
