Solution
\[\begin{aligned} &Z_{f} = \frac{j x_{m}\left(\frac{r_{2}}{s}+j x_{2}\right)}{\frac{r_{2}}{s}+j (x_{2}+x_{m})} \\ &=x_{m} \frac{\frac{r_{2}}{s} . x_{m}+j\left[\left(r_{2} / s\right)^{2}+x_{2} x_{0}\right]}{\left(r_{2} / s\right)^{2}+x_{0}^{2}}\quad\mathrm{where}~ x_{0}=(x_{m}+x_{2}) \\ &Z_{f} = 26.7 \frac{(1.78 / 0.05)\times26.7+j [(1.78 / 0.05)^{2}+1.28\times27.98]}{(1.78 / 0.05)^{2}+(27.98)^{2}} \\ &= 12.4+j 17.15=21.15 \angle54.2^{\circ} \end{aligned}\]
\[\begin{aligned} &Z_{b} = \frac{j x_{m}\left(\frac{r_{2}}{2-s}+ j x_{2}\right)}{\frac{r_{2}}{2-s}+ j (x_{2}+x_{m})} = x_{m} \frac{\left(\frac{r_{2}}{2-s}\right)x_{m} + j \left[\left(\frac{r_{2}}{2-s}\right)^{2}+ x_{0} x_{2}\right]}{\left(\frac{r_{2}}{2-s}\right)^{2}+ x_{0}^{2}} \\ &= 26.7 \frac{(1.78/1.95)\times26.7+j [(1.78/1.95)^{2}+1.28\times27.98]}{(1.78/1.95)^{2}+(27.98)^{2}} \\ &= 0.84+j 1.26=1.51 \angle56.3^{\circ} \\ &\mathbf{Z}_{1} = R_1+j X_1=1.86+j 2.56=3.16 \angle54^\mathrm{o} \end{aligned}\]

Total circuit impedance:

\[\begin{aligned} \mathbf{Z}_{01}& = \mathbf{Z_1}+\mathbf{Z_f}+\mathbf{Z_b}\\ &=(1.86+j 2.56)+(12.4+j 17.15)+(0.84+j 1.26) \\ &= 15.1 +j 20.97=25.85\angle54.3^{\circ} \\ \end{aligned}\]
\[\begin{aligned} I_{1}& = 110/25.85=4.27 ~\mathrm{A} \\ V_{f}& = I_{1} Z_{f}=4.27\times21.15=90.4 ~\mathrm{V}\\ V_{b} &=I_{1} Z_{b}=4.27\times1.51=6.44~ \mathrm{V} \\ Z_{3} & = \sqrt{\left(\frac{r_2}{s}\right)^2+x_2^2} =35.7~ ~\Omega \\ Z_5 &= \sqrt{\left(\frac{r_2}{2-s}\right)^2+x_2^2} =1.57 ~\Omega \\ I_{3}& = V_{f}/Z_{3}=90.4/35.7=2.53~ \mathrm{A}\\ I_{5} &=V_{b}/Z_{5}=6.44/1.57=4.1 ~\mathrm{A} \\ T_{f}& = I_{3}^{2} R_{2} / s=228 ~\mathrm{synch.~watts} \\ T_{5}&=I_{5}^{2} r_{2}/(2-s)=15.3 ~\mathrm{synch.~watts} \\ \text{T}& = T_{f}-T_{b}=228-15.3=212.7 ~\mathrm{synch.~watts} \\ \mathrm{Output}&=\mathrm{synch.~watt}\times(1-s)=212.7\times0.95=202~ \mathbf{W} \end{aligned}\]

Solution
  • The torque is

    \[\begin{aligned} T&=\frac{I_m^2}{\omega_s}\left(\frac{0.5R_2}{s}-\frac{0.5R_2}{s-2}\right)\text{N}\cdot\text{m}\\ & =\frac{22.48^2}{1800 \frac{2 \pi}{60}}\left(\frac{0.1}{0.02}-\frac{0.1}{2-0.02}\right) \\ & =13.41-0.135\\ &=13.27 \mathrm{~Nm} \end{aligned}\]

Solution

  • At \(1764 \mathrm{r} / \mathrm{min}\), the slip is

    \[s=\frac{1800-1764}{1800}=0.02 \mathrm{pu}\]
  • The impedance of the circuit is

    \[\begin{aligned} Z & =0.15+\frac{0.1}{s}+\frac{0.1}{2-s}+j 1.2 ~\Omega \\ Z & =0.15+\frac{0.1}{0.02}+\frac{0.1}{2-0.02}+j 1.2 \\ & =5.34 \angle 13^{\circ} ~\Omega \end{aligned}\]
  • The current is

    \[\begin{aligned} I & =\frac{V}{Z}=\frac{120 \angle 0^{\circ}}{5.34 \angle 13^{\circ}} =22.48 \angle-13^{\circ} \mathrm{A} \end{aligned}\]
PROBLEM 03

Problem-3

Problem Statement

A 220-V, 6-pole, 50-Hz, single-winding single-phase induction motor has the following equivalent circuit parameters as referred to the stator.

\[\begin{aligned}R_{Im}&=3.0 ~\Omega,\quad X_{Im}=5.0 ~\Omega\\R_{2}&=1.5 ~\Omega,\quad X_{2}=2.0 ~\Omega\end{aligned}\]

Neglect the magnetizing current. When the motor runs at 97% of the synchronous speed, compute the following:

  1. The ratio \(E_{mf}/E_{mb}\)

  2. The ratio \(V_f/V_b\)

  3. The ratio \(T_f/T_b\)

  4. The gross total torque.

  5. The ratios \(T_f/\text{(Total torque)}\) and \(T_b/\text{(Total torque)}\)

Solution
  • Redrawing the circuit in symmetrical form and taking \(X=\infty\) :

    \[\begin{aligned} &\begin{aligned} \text { Impedance to } V_f & =\frac{1}{2}\left[\left(3+\frac{1.5}{0.03}\right)+j(5+2)\right] =\frac{1}{2}(53+j 7) \\ \text { Impedance to } V_b& =\frac{1}{2}\left[\left(3+\frac{1.5}{1.97}\right)+j(5+2)\right] =\frac{1}{2}(3.76+j 7) \\ \frac{V_f}{V_b} & =\frac{|53+j 7|}{|3.76+j 7|}=6.73 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}\]
  • The ratio \(T_f/T_b\)

    \[\begin{aligned} \frac{T_f}{T_b} & =\frac{P_{g f}}{P_{g b}}=\frac{\frac{1}{2} I_m^2 R_2 / s}{\frac{1}{2} I_m^2 R_2 /(2-s)} \\ & =\frac{2-s}{s}=\frac{2-0.03}{0.03}=65.7 \end{aligned}\]
  • \[\begin{aligned} Z & =\frac{1}{2}[(53+j 7)+(3.76+j 7)] =28.38+j 7=29.2 \angle 13.9^{\circ} \\ I_m & =\frac{220}{29.2}=753 \mathrm{~A} \\ n_s & =\frac{120 \times 50}{6}=1000 \mathrm{rpm} \\ \omega_s & =\frac{2 \pi \times 1000}{60}=104.72 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} \\ T_f & =\frac{1}{\omega_s} I_m^2 \frac{R_2}{2 s} \qquad T_b =\frac{1}{\omega_s} I_m^2 \frac{R_2}{2(2-s)} \\ T_{\text {total }} & =T_f-T_b \\ T_{\text {total }} & =\frac{I_m^2 R_2}{2 ~\Omega_s}\left(\frac{1}{s}-\frac{1}{2-s}\right) \\ & =\frac{(7.53)^2 \times 1.5}{2 \times 104.72}\left(\frac{1}{0.03}-\frac{1}{1.97}\right) =13.31 \mathrm{Nm} \end{aligned}\]
    Total impedance as seen from stator terminal :
  • The ratios \(T_f/\text{(Total torque)}\) and \(T_b/\text{(Total torque)}\)

    \[\begin{aligned} & \frac{T_f}{T_{\text {total }}}=\frac{1 / s}{1/s-1 /(2-s)}=\frac{1}{1-\frac{s}{2-s}}=1.015 \\ & \frac{T_b}{T_{\text {total }}}=\frac{1 /(2-s)}{1 / s-1 /(2-s)}=\frac{1}{\frac{2-s}{s}-1}=0.015 \end{aligned}\]

Solution

  • From the equivalent circuit:

    image
    \[\begin{aligned} \frac{E_{m f}}{E_{m b}} & =\frac{Z_f}{Z_b}=\frac{\left|j X \|\left(\frac{R_2}{s}+j X_2\right)\right|}{\left|j X \|\left(\frac{R_2}{2-s}+j X_2\right)\right|} =\frac{\left|R_2 / s+j X_2\right|}{\left|R_2(2-s)+j X_2\right|}\\ &\text{Magnetising current neglected}~\Rightarrow X=\infty\\ & =\frac{|1.5 / 0.03+j 2|}{|1.5 /(2-0.03)+j 2|}=23.38 \end{aligned}\]
