TECP3622 Tutorial Questions Electrical Machines 2020

(a) A 5000-VA 480/120-V conventional transformer has an open circuit and short circuit losses of
120W and 160 W respectively. The transformer is to be used as an autotransformer to supply
power from a 600-V source to a 480-V load. (1) Sketch the transformer connection that will do
the required job. (3) Find the VA-rating of the transformer in the configuration. (2) Calculate
the efficiency of conventional and autotransformer at full load and power factor 0.707 lagging
[2500 VA, 92.6% 98. 4%]
(b) A 6-Pole ,50 Hz, Y- connected three phase induction motor takes 50 kW from the supply and
runs at 960 r.p.m. The stator has copper and core losses of 1.4 kW and 1.6 kW respectively.
The combined mechanical losses amount to 1kW. Determine the motor efficiency. [88.2%]

(c) A 1.5 kW, 220-V, 50-Hz, delta-connected, three-phase induction motor operates at a full-load
speed of 1440 rev/min. If the supply voltage fluctuates with a range of ±10 %, determine the
developed torque range of the motor at its rated speed. [K= T1/T2 = 1.494]

(d) A 380 –V, 4 pole three-phase induction motor operates is rated 4 kW and speed of 1425
rev/min. the friction and windage losses are 250 W. Calculate the rotor copper losses and gap
power. [4.47 kW, 223. 68 W]
