MGVCL Exam Paper (30-07-2021 Shift 3)
A three phase four pole 50 Hz induction motor has a rotor resistance of 0.02 Ω/phase and stand-still reactance of 0.5 Ω/phase. Calculate the speed at which the maximum torque is developed.
Symmetrical breaking current is the moment when fault occurs maximum fault current is observed and decays with respect to time. Symmetrical breaking current = RMS value of ac component of short circuit current at the instant of separation of the contacts. Symmetrical breaking capacity is less than asymmetrical breaking capacity.
1.6 inches = 1.6 inches x 1,000 mils per inch = 1,600 mils 0.25 inch = 0.25 inch x 1,000 mils per inch = 250 mils Area = 1,600 x 250 = 400,000 square mils
