motor with unbalanced voltages.

2. Explain the 3-phase induction motor operation with

unbalanced motor impedance.

3. Explain the requirements the induction motor for starting purpose

5. 400V,star connected,3-phase,6-pole,50 Hz induction motors have the

following parameters referred to stator;Rs= Rr= 1Ω, XS= Xr =2Ω,For
regenerative braking operation of this motor determine;

A).Maximum overhauling torque it can hold and range of speed for

safe operation .

B). Speed at which it will hold and overhauling load with torque
of 100 N-m

C) . Maximum overhauling torque the motor can hold as a ratio of

maximum overhauling torque without capacitor if a capacitive
reactance of 2 Ω is inserted in each phase of stator.

6. Motor of the above question is to be braked by plugging from its

initial full load of speed of 950 rpm.Stator to rotor turns ratio 2:3.
