Ecen 5737 HW7

This document contains homework problems about adjustable speed drives for an induction machine: 1. It asks to analyze the operation of an induction machine as a generator by examining the magnetizing current and deriving expressions for the complex currents. 2. It asks to plot torque-speed curves for constant volts/hertz operation at different percentages of rated speed. 3. It asks to calculate the input voltage and frequency needed for a given torque and speed operating point using constant volts/hertz control, and then to calculate the required stator resistance to achieve the same operating point without a drive.

ECEN 5737: Adjustable Speed Drives

Homework #7
Due March 7, 2013

1. In class there was a question regarding how a squirrel cage induction machine can be a
generator if current from the stator is required for magnetization. The key to understanding
this is to realize that, like a transformer, the magnetization current of an induction machine is
purely reactive, and therefore represents no real power consumption. When an induction
machine is operating as a generator, real power is flowing out of the stator but reactive power
is still flowing in to magnetize the machine.
a. From the induction machine equivalent circuit, find expressions for the complex
currents I
1
, I
2
, and I
m
in terms of equivalent circuit parameters and slip s.
b. Using the machine from the lecture 11 example, calculate I
1
, I
2
, and I
m
for slips of
+2.2% (motoring) and -2.2% (generating). Plot your results in a phasor diagram.
Compare the change in the magnitude and angle of I
1
and I
2
to the change in the
magnitude and angle of I
m.

c. Torque is produced from the interaction of B
m
and B
2
. Each of these fields is
proportional in magnitude to its respective current. If T
em
= kB
2
x B
m,
find the
constant k using your values for I
m,
I
2
, and the previously calculated motoring value
of T
em,
62.76 Nm.
d. Use your calculated value of k to find T
em
for the generating case.

2. For the motor parameters given in the lecture 11 example, plot torque-speed curves for
constant Volts/Hz operation at 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% of rated speed.

3. It is desired to use the motor from the lecture 11 example in an application that requires
developing a torque of 100 Nm at a speed of 1400 rpm.
a. Calculate the input voltage and frequency that would be required to accomplish this
using a constant Volts/Hz drive.
b. Calculate the efficiency of the motor at the operating point with Volts/Hz control,
neglecting mechanical losses.
c. Assuming no drive is available, calculate the value of R
2
that would be required to
accomplish the same speed and torque operating point.
d. Calculate the efficiency of the motor with this new value of R
2
and full input voltage,
neglecting mechanical losses.
