Question 1

The input power to the rotor circuit of a six-pole, 60 Hz, induction motor running at
1100 r/min is 5 kW. What is the rotor copper loss in this motor?

Answer 1: (a) 416 W

Question 2
The power crossing the air gap of a 60 Hz, four-pole induction motor is 25 kW, and
the power converted
from electrical to mechanical form in the motor is 23.2 kW.
(a) What is the slip of the motor at this time?
(b) What is the induced torque in this motor?
(c) Assuming that the mechanical losses are 300 W at this slip, what is the load torque
of this motor?

Answer 2: (a) 0.064, (b) 132.6 Nm, (c) 130.9 Nm

Question 3

A 3-phase, 6-pole, 50 Hz induction motor has a full-load speed of 960 r.p.m. with its
slip rings short-circuited. The motor drives a constant-torque load. If the rotor speed is
reduced to (a) 800 r.p.m. and (b) 400 r.p.m. by inserting external resistance in the rotor
circuit, compare the rotor ohmic losses at these two reduced speeds with that at full
load.
Answer 3: 5, 15

Question 4
An induction motor has an efficiency of 0.9 when the shaft load is 45 kW. At this load,
stator ohmic loss and rotor ohmic loss each is equal to the iron loss. The mechanical
loss is one-third of the no-load losses. Neglect ohmic losses at no load. Calculate the
slip
Answer 4: 0.0303
Question 5

A 208-V four-pole 60-Hz Y-connected wound-rotor induction motor is rated at 15 hp.


Its equivalent circuit components are

𝑅! = 0.220 Ω 𝑅" = 0.127 Ω 𝑋# = 15 Ω


𝑋! = 0.430 Ω 𝑋" = 0.430 Ω
𝑃$%&' = 300 𝑊 𝑃&()% = 200 𝑊

For a slip of 0.05, find


(a) The line current 𝐼*
(b) The stator copper losses 𝑃+,*
(c) The air-gap power 𝑃-.
(d) The power converted from electrical to mechanical form 𝑃&(/0
(e) The induced torque 𝜏1/2
(f) The load torque 𝜏3(42
(g) The overall machine efficiency
(h) The motor speed in revolutions per minute and radians per second

Answers 5: (a) 𝟒𝟐. 𝟑∠ − 𝟐𝟓. 𝟕°, (b) 1180 W, (c) 12.54 kW, (d) 11.92 kW, (e) 66.5
Nm, (f) 11.42 kW

Question 6
A 3 -phase, 4-pole, 1440 R.P.M, 50 Hz induction motor has star-connected rotor
winding, having a resistance of 0.2 Ohm per phase and a standstill leakage reactance
of 1 Ohm per phase. When the stator is energised at rated voltage and frequency, the
rotor induced emf at standstill is 120 V per phase.
(a) Calculate the rotor current, rotor power factor and torque both at starting and at full
load and compare these results.
(b) If an external resistance of 1 Ohm per phase is inserted in rotor circuit, calculate
rotor current, rotor power factor and torque at the time of starting.
