11 Speed and Torque Control
c. the starting torque at rated voltage and frequency N.m.
If the rotor resistance is now doubled (by inserting extemal series
resistance at the slip rings), determine
d. the torque in N.m when the stator current is at its full-load value.
e. the corresponding slip.
11.27 A 35-kW, three-phase, 440-V, six-pole wound-rotor induction motor
develops its rated full-load output at a speed of 1169 r/min when operated at
rated voltage and frequency with its slip rings short-circuited. The maximum
torque it can develop at rated voltage and frequency is 245 percent of full-
load torque. The resistance of the rotor winding is 0.23 r/phase Y. Neglect
rotational and stray-load losses and stator resistance.
a. Compute the rotor
12R
loss at full load.
b. Compute the speed at maximum torque.
c. How much resistance must be inserted in series with the rotor to produce
maximum starting torque?
The motor is now run from a 50-Hz supply with the applied voltage
adjusted so that, for any given torque, the air-gap flux wave has the same
amplitude as it does when operated 60 Hz at the same torque level.
d. Compute the 50-Hz applied voltage.
e. Compute the speed at which the motor will develop a torque equal to its
rated value at 60-Hz with its slip tings short-circuited.
11.28 The three-phase, 2400-V, 550-kW, six-pole induction motor of
Problem 11.23 is to be driven from a field-oriented speed-control system
whose controller is programmed to set the rotor flux linkages )~DR equal to
the machine rated peak value. The machine is operating at 1148 r/min
driving a load which is known to be 400 kW at this speed. Find:
a. the value of the peak direct- and quadrature-axis components of the
armature currents iD and ia.
b. the rms armature current under this operating condition.
c. the electrical frequency of the drive in Hz.
d. the rms line-to-line armature voltage.
11.29 A field-oriented drive system will be applied to a 230-V, 20-kW, four-pole,
60-Hz induction motor which has the following equivalent-circuit
parameters in ohms per phase referred to the stator:
Rl = 0.0322 R2 = 0.0703 X1 = 0.344 X2 = 0.353
X m =
18.6
The motor is connected to a load whose torque can be assumed proportional
to speed as 7ioad = 85(n/1800) N.m, where n is the motor speed in r/min.
The field-oriented controller is adjusted such that the rotor flux linkages
)~DR are equal to the machine's rated peak flux linkages, and the motor speed
is 1300 r/min. Find
a. the electrical frequency in Hz.
b. the rms armature current and line-to-line voltage.
