With the help of a circle diagram determine (i) starting torque, (ii) maximum torque, (iii) maximum output (iv) slip for maximum torque and (v) maximum output

For a 200 V, 50 Hz, 3-phase, 7.46 kW, slip ring induction motor with a star-connected stator and rotor. The winding ratio of the motor is unity, whereas the stator and rotor resistance per phase is 0.38 and 0.24 ohm respectively. The following are the test results:

No-load test:                               200 V, 7.7 A, 874 W

Blocked-rotor test:                     100 V, 39.36 A, 3743 W

From no-load test: V= \frac{V_{L}}{\sqrt{3} } = \frac{200}{\sqrt{3} } = 115.5  V; I_{o} = 7.7  A

\cos \phi _{o} = \frac{874}{\sqrt{3} \times 200 \times 0.77} = 0.327; \phi _{o} = \cos ^{-1} 0.327 = 78.75^{\circ }  lagging

 

From blocked-rotor test:

\cos \underline{\phi} _{SC} = \frac{3743}{\sqrt{3} \times 100 \times 39.36} = 0.549; \phi _{SC} = \cos ^{-1} 0.549 = 63^{\circ }  lagging

 

Short circuit current with normal voltage

I_{SN} = \frac{V_{SN}}{V_{SC}} \times I_{SC}= \left\lgroup\frac{200 / \sqrt{3} }{100 / \sqrt{3} } \right\rgroup \times 39.36 = 78.72  A

 

Power drawn with normal voltage at short circuit would be

P_{SN} = \left\lgroup\frac{200 / \sqrt{3} }{100 / \sqrt{3} } \right\rgroup^{2} \times 3743 = 14972  W

 

Let scale for the current be 5 A = 1 cm.

Construct the circle diagram as usual, as shown in Fig. 9.47.

Here, no-load current, I_{o}= 7.7  A;

OO^{\prime } = \frac{7.7}{5} = 1.54  cm lagging behind OV by  78.75^{\circ }

Phasor OA = I_{SN} = \frac{78.72}{5} = 15. 74  cm  lagging behind phasor OV by 63^{\circ }

The vertical line AQ measures the power input on short circuit with normal voltage i.e.,14972 W and its measurement is 8.7 cm.

∴  Power scale is  1  cm = \frac{14972}{8.7} = 1721  W

Total copper loss, AF = 14972 – 874 = 14098 = 8.2  cm

Ratio of rotor copper loss and total copper loss i.e.,

\frac{AE}{AF} = \frac{Rotor  resistance}{Rotor + stator  resistance} = \frac{0.24}{0.24 + 0.38}

 

Or AE= \frac{0.24}{0.62} \times 8.2 = 3.18  cm

( i) Starting  torque = AE = 3.18\times 1721 = \mathbf{5473  synch.  watt}

( ii) From centre C draw a perpendicular to torque line O′E and extent it to meet the circle at U. from U draw a line parallel to y-axis which meets O′E at W, then UW represents maximum torque.

UW = 7.15  cm = 7.15 \times 1721 = \mathbf{12305  synch. watt}

 

(iii) For maximum power output, drop a perpendicular on output line O′A from centre C and extend it to meet the circle at R. Draw a line from R parallel to y-axis which meets the line O′A at J.

Then RJ represents maximum power output.

Maximum power output, P_{\max } = RJ = 5.9  cm = 5.9 \times 1721 = \mathbf{10154  W}

(iv) The  slip  for  the  maximum  torque = \frac{WW^{\prime }}{WU} = \frac{1.4}{7.15} = 0.195

( v) For maximum power factor, draw a tangent on circle from O which touches the circle at P.

Then  maximum  power  factor = \cos \angle POV = \cos 28.5^{\circ } = \mathbf{0.879  lagging}
