MGVCL Exam Paper (30-07-2021 Shift 2)
A single phase motor connected to 415 V, 50 Hz supply takes 30 A at a power factor of 0.7 lagging. Calculate the capacitance required in parallel with the motor to raise the power factor to 0.9 lagging.
Slip, s = (Ns - Nr)/Ns Ns = 120f/P 0.05 = (1000 - Nr)/1000 Nr = 950 rpm Speed of rotor with respect to stator magnetic field = 950 - 1000 = -50 rpm
Speed of the stator magnetic field with respect to stator core = 0 Speed of the rotor magnetic field with respect to rotor = sNs Speed of the stator magnetic field with respect to rotor magnetic field = 0 Speed of the rotor magnetic field with respect to stator core = Ns
