1- A 3-phase, 4-pole, 1440 rpm, 50 Hz induction motor has star- connected rotor
windings, having a resistance of 0.2 Ω per phase and a standstill leakage reactance
of 1Ω per phase when the stator is energized at rated voltage and frequency, the rotor
induced e.m.f at standstill is 120 V per phase.
(a) Calculate the rotor current, rotor power factor and torque both at starting and at
full load and compare between results.
(b) If an external resistance of 1Ω per phase is inserted in the rotor circuit, calculate
the rotor current, rotor power factor and torque at time of starting.
2- A 20 hp three phase, 50 Hz, 4-pole induction motor has a full-load slip of 4
percent. The friction and windage losses are 500 W. Calculate the rotor ohmic losses
and the rotor speed.
3- A 3-phase, 6-pole, 50 Hz induction motor has a full-load speed of 960 rpm with
its slip rings short-circuited. The motor drives a constant-torque load.
If the rotor speed is reduced to (a) 800 rpm and (b) 400 rpm by inserting external
resistance in the rotor circuit, compare the rotor ohmic losses at these two reduced
speeds with that at full load.
4- A 10 Kw, 400 V, 3-phase, 4-pole, 50 Hz delta connected induction motor is
running at no load with a line current of 8 A and an input power of 600 watts. At full
load, the line current is 18 A and input power is 11.2 Kw. Stator effective resistance
per phase is 1.2 Ω and friction, windage loss is 420 watts. For negligible rotor ohmic
losses at no load. Calculate:
(a) stator core loss.
(b) total rotor losses at full load.
(c) total rotor ohmic losses at full load.
(d) full load speed.
(e) internal torque, shaft torque and motor efficiency.
5- An induction motor has an efficiency of 0.9 when the load is 45 Kw. At this load,
stator copper loss and rotor copper loss each is equal to the iron loss. The mechanical
loss is one-third of the no-load losses. Neglect copper losses at no load. Calculate
the slip.
6- A 3-phase star-connected, 400 v, 50 Hz, 4-pole induction motor has the following
per phase constants referred to stator side:
r1=0.15, x1=0.45, r2=0.12, x2=0.45, xɸ =28.5
Fixed losses (core, friction and windage losses) = 400 w.
Find the stator current, rotor speed, output torque and efficiency when the motor is
operated at rated voltage and frequency at a slip of 4 percent.
