d. Make a second plot of motor efficiency versus output power as the motor
output power varies from roughly 5 kW to full load.
6.12 Write a MATLAB script to analyze the performance of a three-phase
induction motor operating at its rated frequency and voltage. The inputs
should be the rated motor voltage, power and frequency, the number of poles,
the equivalent-circuit parameters, and the rotational loss. Given a specific
speed, the program should calculate the motor output power, the input power
and power factor and the motor efficiency. Exercise your program on a
500-kW, 4160 V, three-phase, 60-Hz, four-pole induction motor operating at
1725 r/min whose rated speed rotational loss is 3.5 kW and whose
equivalent-circuit parameters are:
R1 =0.521 R2=1.32 X1 =4.98 X2=5.32 Xm=136
6.13 A 15-kW, 230-V, three-phase, Y-connected, 60-Hz, four-pole squirrel-cage
induction motor develops full-load internal torque at a slip of 3.5 percent
when operated at rated voltage and frequency. For the purposes of this
problem, rotational and core losses can be neglected. The following motor
parameters, in ohms per phase, have been obtained:
R1 = 0.21 X1
-- X2 =
0.26
Xm =
10.1
Determine the maximum internal torque at rated voltage and frequency,
the slip at maximum torque, and the internal starting torque at rated voltage
and frequency.
6.14 The induction motor of Problem 6.13 is supplied from a 230-V source
through a feeder of impedance Zf -- 0.05 + j0.14 ohms. Find the motor slip
and terminal voltage when it is supplying rated load.
6.15 A three-phase induction motor, operating at rated voltage and frequency, has
a starting torque of 135 percent and a maximum torque of 220 percent, both
with respect to its rated-load torque. Neglecting the effects of stator resistance
and rotational losses and assuming constant rotor resistance, determine:
a. the slip at maximum torque.
b. the slip at rated load.
c. the rotor current at starting (as a percentage of rotor current at rated load).
6.16 When operated at rated voltage and frequency, a three-phase squirrel-cage
induction motor (of the design classification known as a high-slip motor)
delivers full load at a slip of 8.7 percent and develops a maximum torque of
230 percent of full load at a slip of 55 percent. Neglect core and rotational
losses and assume that the rotor resistance and inductance remain constant,
independent of slip. Determine the torque at starting, with rated voltage and
frequency, in per unit based upon its full-load value.
6.17 A 500-kW, 2400-V, four-pole, 60-Hz induction machine has the following
equivalent-circuit parameters in ohms per phase Y referred to the stator:
R1 = 0.122
