Test 1

The document contains questions for a motor control instruction test. It asks the test-taker to: 1) Calculate the open-circuit voltage and frequency across the slip-rings of a wound rotor induction motor if the rotor is driven at different speeds by a variable-speed dc motor. 2) Calculate the synchronous speed of a 3-phase, 12-pole induction motor excited by a 60Hz source and determine the nominal speed if the slip is 6% at full-load. 3) Determine the synchronous speed of a 3-phase, 20-pole induction motor connected to a 600V, 60Hz source.

Test 1 E5105 AU Motor Control Instruction: Answer ALL questions.

1. An open-circuit voltage of 240V appears across the slip rings of a wound rotor induction motor when the rotor is locked. The stator has 6 poles and is ecited by a 60Hz source. If the rotor is driven by a variable-speed dc motor, calculate the open-circuit voltage and frequency across the slip-rings if the dc motor turns

b. If the voltage is reduced to 300V, will the synchronous


speed change? Validate your answer through calculation. (6 marks) 4. State in which quandrants a machine operates a. As a brake

b. As a motor a. At 600r/min, in the same direction as the rotating field

c. As a generator

(3 marks)

b. At 900r/min, in the same direction as the rotating field c. At 3600r/min, opposite to the rotating field (18 marks) 5. A machine is turning clockwise in quandrant 3. Does it develop a clockwise or counterclockwise torque? Validate your answer through the torque-speed curve. 2. Calculate the synchrounous speed of a 3-phase, 12-pole induction motor that is excited by a 60Hz source. What is the nominal speed if the slip at full-load is 6 percent? (15 marks) 6. It is impossible for a machine to instantenously change from a point in quandrant 1 to point in quandrant 2. Why? Can it move instantenously from quandrant 1 to a quandrant 4? Validate your 3. A 3-phase, 20-pole induction motor is connected to a 600V, 60Hz source. answer through the torque-speed curve. (28 marks) (6 marks) (4 marks)
