What are the factors that govern the operating characteristic of three-phase induction A motors? (2 marks) In case of three-phase induetion motors, explain why the rotor speed falls as the load torque is increased. (2 marks} 7 (©). Two cage rotor induction motors A and B are identical in all respects, except that they have any one ofthe following differences in constuction: 1) Motor A has open stator slots but motor B has semi-closed stator slots 2). Motor A has semiclosed rotor slots but motor B has closed rotor sot. For each ofthe two differences listed above, discuss which of the two motors have i. higher starting torque ii, higher pullout susue-—=7- betes fl-foad power factor and higher fll-load speed (6 marks) <1. in cas of indstion moors, explain why the sing length is kept small 8 mechanical possible ee (2 marks) TOS three-phase cage rotor induction motor is designed to have copper bers If, instead of _Assing copper, aliminivm is used for rotor bars, explain what happens to its speed, and efficiency under full-load running conditions. {4 marks] Stee AF What the ination othe reduced votiage Staring of induction motors? (2 marks} (8) Under ‘what conditions is the diiect-on-line starting of cage rotor induction motors preferred? (2 marks) fj), The starting period from zero to normal speed is more severe in case of dc. mators than in induction motors at similar power capacity. Explain. [2 marks) oS ‘A three-phase induction motor at normal speed is carrying about half the rated load. If one of supply line fuses blows off, will the motor stop or continue running?

Assume frequency to remain unchanged. (4 marks} Ifthe power electronic starter needs to limit the starting current from the supply to twice the full-load current, what should be the voltage reduction factor and the corresponding per unit starting torque. . (2 marks] {6}. Explain how the toque-speed characteristic of cage rotor induction motors is modified for different stating torques and starting currents? (2 marks} Explain how rotor conductors of the NEMA design class C and D motors are designed to give their motor characteristics using figures and appropriate equivalent circuits ithenever necessary. Sketch typical torque-speed characteristics for the above classes in the same graph. [3 marke] Page dof S(@).
