  The star-connected rotor of an induction motor has a stand-still resistance of 4.5 ohms/phase and a resistance of 0.5 ohm/phase. The motor has an induced emf of 50 V between the slip-rings at stand-still on open circuit when connected to its normal supply voltage. Find the current in each phase and the power factor at start when the slip-ring is short-circuited


Given

X = 4.5 ohm   {Standstill resistance = Reactance}

R = 0.5 ohm

E = 50 V (Line voltage)

                

To find

1. Iph

2. cos φ 


Solution


In star connection  Eph = Eline / √3

                                     = 50 / √3

                                     = 28.87 V

Zph = √(R2+X2)

        = √(0.5+ 0.452)

        = 4.53 ohm


Iph = Vph / Zph

      = 28.87 / 4.53 

      = 6.37 A


cos φ = R/Z

          = 0.5 / 4.53

          = 0.11
