b) If the mechanical load is increased to 100 hp, draw the new phasor diagram.
c) Find the values of Ia, IL, and Ear and the PF of the motor in Part (b). (Ans: Ia = IL =
103,2818,130 A; Ear = 475,65-38,250 V; PF = 0,95 leading)
Problem 06:
A three-phase, 60 Hz, 277.1281 V, delta-connected, cylindrical-rotor synchronous motor
has a synchronous reactance of 4 Ω. Its armature resistance is negligible. Its combined
friction and windage losses are 2.5 kW and its core losses are 2.25 kW. The motor is
connected to a 20 HP mechanical load and is operating at a leading power factor of 0.80.
a) Find the values of Ia, IL and Ear of the motor and draw its phasor diagram. (Ans: Ia =
38,8536,870 A; IL = 67,3036,870 A; Ear = 221,9734,070 V)
b) If the mechanical load is increased to 75 HP, draw the new phasor diagram.
c) Find the values of Ia, IL, and Ear and the PF of the motor in Part (b).
