1. The equivalent impedance of the main and auxiliary winding in a capacitor motor is (15+j25) Ω and
(50+ j120) Ω respectively, while the capacitance of the capacitor is 12µF.Estimate the line current at
starting a 230 V, 50Hz supply.

2. A stepper motor has a resolution of 180 steps per revolution. Find the pulse rate required in order to
obtain a rotor speed of 2400 rpm.

3. A 220 V, single phase induction motor gave the following test results:

Blocked rotor test: 120V, 9.6 A, 460 W;

No-load test: 220V, 4.6A, 125 W.

The stator winding resistance is 1.5 Ω, and during the blocked rotor test, the starting winding is
open. Prepare the Equivalent circuit parameters

4. A single stack 3 phase variable reluctance motor has a step angle of 15˚.Find the number of stator
and rotor poles.
