Problem
An industrial customer plans to connect a new induction motor to the power supply system as shown in the
diagram.
Supply system
Power supply system parameters:
- feeder line Lz impedance (at 0.4 kV level): ZLz =1.55 + j1.66 mΩ
line
- supply line L impedance: ZL = 25 + j 60 mΩ, ZL = 65 mΩ Lz
Transformer data:
- rated power SN =1MVA
- short-cir cuit voltage u% =5% Tr
- reactance to resistance ratio X R =5
PPC 400 V
Motor data:
- rated voltage: UN = 400 V line
- rated power: PN =75 kW L1
- starting power factor: PFr = 0.3
- starting overload coefficient: kr =7 kVA/kW
M
Using the permissible level of voltage fluctuations as a criterion, determine whether the motor should be installed.
For the planned number of 20 starts per hour the voltage change: Kmax = 3%
Solution
First, calculate the motor impedance during start then, employing Kirchhoff voltage law, find the voltage drop during
start. The voltage drop value relative to the rated voltage at PCC is the sought coefficient; it has to be compared with
the coefficients given for 20 starts per hour.

and, finally:

Since this coefficient does not exceed the limit value of 3% the motor can be directly connected to the network.
