Two-wattmeter method is used to measure the power taken by a 3-phase induction motor on no load. The wattmeter readings are 400 W and -50 W. Calculate the reactive power taken by the load
The ratio of full load current to short circuit current = 1/6 Xsc = j/(1/6) External reactance required = j*((1/6) - 0.06)) = j*0.106 pu Full load current = (40*1000)/(√3*15) = 1539.6 A Per unit reactance = j*0.106 = (I*Xr)/V j*0.15 = (1539.6*Xb)/((15/√3)*1000)) = 0.60 ohm
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.
