R_{1} =0.15 ohm
R_{2} =0.1 ohm
X_{T} =0.5 ohm
G_{c} =6\times 10^{-3}
B_{m} =0.15 S

The rotational losses are equal to the stator hysteresis and eddy-current losses. For a slip of 3 percent, find the following:

A. the line current and power factor;

B. the horsepower output;

C. the starting torque.

A. The voltage specified is line-to-line value as usual. Utilizing the approximate equivalent circuit of Figure 6.3, the rotor current can be seen to be given by

I_{r}=\frac{\frac{220}{\sqrt{3} } }{\left\lgroup0.15+\frac{0.1}{0.03} \right\rgroup+j0.5 }
=36.09\angle -8.17° A

The no-load current  I_{\phi} is obtained as

I_{\phi } =\frac{220}{\sqrt{3} } \left(6\times 10^{-3} -j0.15\right)
=0.7621-j19.05 A

As a result, the line current (stator current) is

I_{s} =I_{r}+I_{\phi }
=43.772\angle -33.535°

Since  V_{1} is taken as reference, we conclude that

\phi _{s}=33.535°
\cos \phi _{s} =0.8334

B. The air-gap power is given by

P_{g} =3I_{r} ^{2} \left\lgroup\frac{R_{2} }{s} \right\rgroup=3\left(36.09\right) ^{2} \left\lgroup\frac{0.1}{0.03} \right\rgroup = 13,024.881 W

The mechanical power to the shaft is

P_{m}=\left(1-s\right) P_{g} =12,634.135 W

The core losses are

P_{c} =3E_{1} ^{2}\left(G_{c} \right) =290.4 W

The rotational losses are thus

P_{rl}=290.4 w

As a result, the net output mechanical power is

P_{out} =P_{m}-P_{rl}
=12,343.735 W

Therefore, in terms of horsepower, we get

hp_{out}=\frac{12,343.735}{746} =16.547 hp

C. At starting, s = 1:

\left|I_{r} \right| =\frac{\frac{220}{\sqrt{3} } }{\left(0.15+0.1\right) +j0.5} =227.215A

 

P_{g}=3 \left(227.215\right) ^{2}\left(0.1\right) = 15,487.997 W

 

\omega _{s} =\frac{2\pi \left(60\right) }{3}=40\pi

 

T=\frac{P_{g} }{\omega _{s} } =\frac{15,487.997}{40\pi } =123.25 N.m
