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.
The speed regulation of a motor expresses how much its speed varies between no-load and full load. The synchronous motor runs at a constant speed whose magnitude is dependent on supply frequency and the number of poles. Since the speed of the motor is constant hence its speed regulation is zero. Under no-load conditions with normal excitation, armature current Ia drawn by a synchronous motor lags the applied voltage V by a small angle.
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
