1.a) To calculate the equivalent impedance, we can use the formula: paths in the armature winding.

Z = (Z1 * Z2) / (Z1 + Z2) For a wave wound dc shunt generator, A = 2, as there are two parallel paths in the armature
winding. Substituting the given values, we get:
where Z1 and Z2 are the impedances of the two parallel branches. Substituting the given values,
we get: E = (4 * 0.0156 * 294 * 1500) / (2 * 60) = 294 volts

Z = ((3+j4)*(2-j3)) / ((3+j4)+(2-j3)) = = (18 - 1j) / 5 = 3.6 - 0.2j ohms Part 3

Ea = P * Z * P / 60A
1.d) To convert three resistances connected in delta to an equivalent star configuration, we can
use the following formulas: where P is the number of poles (8 in this case), Z is the number of conductors (778 in this case),
and A is the number of parallel paths in the armature windings (assumed to be 1 in this case).
Rab = (R1R2 + R2R3 + R3R1) / Rtotal , Rbc = (R1R2 + R2R3 + R3R1) / Rtotal , Rca = (R1R2 + R2R3 +
R3R1) / Rtotal , Rstar = Rtotal / 3 The flux per pole (Φ) can be calculated using the following formula:Φ = Ea / (2πfNp)

Rstar = 6 ohms Il = P / V = 12.50 / 250 = 0.05 A

1.e) The real power in an AC circuit can be calculated using the formula: Next, we can calculate the emf induced in the armature:

P = Vrms * Irms * cos(θ) Ea = P * Z * P / 60A = 8 * 778 * 500 / (60 * 1) = 25933.33 V

where Vrms and Irms are the RMS values of voltage and current, and θ is the phase angle Then, we can calculate the armature current:
between them. Substituting the given values, we get:
Ia = Il / V = 0.05 / 250 = 0.0002 A
P = 2 * 10 * cos(-30) = 17.32 W
Finally, we can calculate the flux per pole:
1.f) For a balanced three-phase delta-connected load, the phase voltage (Vph) and line voltage
(Vline) are related by the formula: Φ = Ea / (2πfNp) = 25933.33 / (2π * 0 * 1) = 0

Vline = √3 * Vph Note that the frequency is assumed to be zero for a dc generator, and the number of parallel
paths in the armature windings is assumed to be 1. Also, the units for flux per pole are webers
Similarly, the phase current (Iph) and line current (Iline) are related by the formula: (Wb).

Iline = √3 * Iph Q5)The working principle of a transformer is based on the phenomenon of electromagnetic

Substituting the given values, we get: |------------------------||------------------------|

Ns = 120 * 50 / 4 , Ns = 1500 rpm Φ Φ

The actual speed of the motor is given as 1460 rpm. The slip can be calculated using the formula: In an ideal transformer, the primary and secondary coils have zero resistance and the magnetic

The emf generated in a dc generator can be calculated using the following formula:

E = (P * Φ * Z * N) / (A * 60)
Part 2 We are given R = 50 Ohms, Xl = 2pi50*250e-3 = 78.54 Ohms, and Vr = 150V. Therefore:Z =
sqrt(R^2 + Xl^2) = 80.06 Ohms
2a)Independent energy sources are those that can maintain a fixed voltage or current level,
regardless of the circuit's load. Examples of independent sources include batteries and Vs = Vr * Z / R = 150 * 80.06 / 50 = 240.48 V
generators.
Therefore, the supply voltage is 240.48 V.

Find the Thevenin equivalent circuit of the circuit to the left of the 40 ohm resistor. 415 V * Iline)

Replace the Thevenin equivalent circuit with its Thevenin voltage source and Thevenin resistance. Simplifying, we get:cos(phi) = 0.0024 / Iline

Find the current in the 40 ohm resistor using Ohm's law. Therefore, the power factor depends on the line current. We can use the two wattmeter readings
to calculate the magnitude of the line current:
To find the Thevenin equivalent circuit, we need to calculate the Thevenin voltage and resistance.
P1 = 3 * Vline * Iline * cos(phi1) , P2 = 3 * Vline * Iline * cos(phi2)
The Thevenin voltage is the open-circuit voltage across terminals A and B. To find this voltage, we
can remove the 40 ohm resistor and solve for the voltage across terminals A and B using voltage Substituting the given values, we get:
division.
5.2 kW = 3 * 415 V * Iline * cos(phi1) , -1.7 kW = 3 * 415 V * Iline * cos(phi2)
Vth = 24V x (6 ohm) / (6 ohm + 12 ohm) = 8V
Dividing the two equations, we get: cos(phi1) / cos(phi2) = -1.7 / 5.2
The Thevenin resistance is the equivalent resistance seen from terminals A and B with all the
sources turned off. To find this resistance, we can turn off the 24V voltage source and short- Using the identity cos(-phi) = cos(phi), we can assume without loss of generality that cos(phi1) is
circuit the 6 ohm resistor, as shown below. positive. Then:

Rth = 12 ohm || 4 ohm = 3 ohm cos(phi1) = 5.2 / (5.2 + 1.7) = 0.754 , cos(phi2) = -1.7 / (5.2 + 1.7) = -0.246

We can now replace the Thevenin equivalent circuit with its Thevenin voltage source and Substituting into the equation for the power factor, we get:0.754 = 0.0024 / Iline
resistance.
Therefore:Iline = 3 * 415 V * 0.0024 / 0.754 = 37.4 A
The current in the 40 ohm resistor is given by:
Therefore, the total power is 3.5 kW, the power factor is 0.754, and the line current is 37.4 A.
I = Vth / (Rth + R) = 8V / (3 ohm + 40 ohm) = 0.1875 A

So we have:cos(phi) = P/S the permeability and geometry of the magnetic material.

S = V/Z , Z = sqrt(R^2 + Xc^2) j) A 3-phase, 4 pole induction motor is supplied from 3-phase, 50 Hz AC. The synchronous speed
of the motor is given by the formula:Ns = 120f / P
Substituting and simplifying, we get:
where Ns is the synchronous speed in revolutions per minute (RPM), f is the supply frequency in
cos(phi) = R / sqrt(R^2 + Xc^2) Hertz (Hz), and P is the number of poles.

We are given Xc = 60, and we know that cos(phi) = 0.8. Therefore:0.8 = R / sqrt(R^2 + 60^2) Substituting the given values, we get:Ns = 120 * 50 / 4 = 1500 RPM

Squaring both sides and simplifying, we get:R = 24 Ohms Since the motor is an induction motor, the actual speed of the motor will be slightly less than the
synchronous speed due to slip. The slip is given by the formula:s = (Ns - N) / Ns
Therefore, a resistance of 24 Ohms in series with a capacitive reactance of 60 Ohms will give a
power factor of 0.8. where s is the slip, N is the actual speed of the motor in RPM, and Ns is the synchronous speed in
RPM.
e) The impedance of a circuit with a resistance (R) and an inductive reactance (Xl) in series is given
by the square root of the sum of the resistance squared plus the inductive reactance squared. So Assuming a typical slip of 3%, we get:s = 0.03 , N = Ns * (1 - s) = 1455 RPM
we have:
Therefore, the actual speed of the motor is 1455 RPM.
Z = sqrt(R^2 + Xl^2)

The voltage across the resistance (Vr) is related to the supply voltage (Vs) by the voltage divider
formula:
