EEE 332 Test 2

This document contains instructions for a test on Electrical Machines II taken from Mulungushi University. The test contains 4 questions, each worth 25 marks. Question 1 involves deriving an expression for torque in an induction motor, describing induction motor acceleration, and determining the matrix and flux linkage for a salient pole synchronous machine. Question 2 describes Kron's Primitive machine and induction machine flux linkage relations. Question 3 involves transforming time-varying stator quantities to d-q quantities and calculating direct and quadrature axis current components. Question 4 explains synchronous machine dynamics periods and illustrates the salient effect of a short circuit across a synchronous machine.

theorem. [5]

b. Describe the process of determining the acceleration of an induction motor when a


3-phase voltage is applied to its stator terminals. [8]

synchronous machine by applying the rotor reference frame, , to the stator flux
linkage equations, assuming zero current in all rotor windings. [12]

Question 2

b. Explain 5 fundamental assumptions of a typical Primitive Machine. [5]
c. Write down induction-machine flux linkage current relations in dq0 frame assuming
that the induction machine has three-phase windings on both the rotor and the stator
and that there are no saliency effects. [15]

time on the stator according to:


f as  cos t
