b. Find the value of starting capacitance that will place the main- and
auxiliary-winding currents in time quadrature at starting.
c. Repeat part (a) when the capacitance of part (b) is inserted in series with
the auxiliary winding.
9.2 Repeat Problem 9.1 if the motor is operated from a 120-V, 50-Hz source.
9.3 Given the applied electrical frequency and the corresponding impedances
Zmain
and Zaux of the main and auxiliary windings at starting, write a
MATLAB script to calculate the value of the capacitance, which, when
connected in series with the starting winding, will produce a starting winding
current which will lead that of the main winding by 90 ° .
9.4 Repeat Example 9.2 for slip of 0.045.
9.5 A 500-W, four-pole, 115-V, 60-Hz single-phase induction motor has the
following parameters (resistances and reactances in f2/phase):
R l,main =
1.68
R2,main =
2.96
Xl,main ~--
1.87
Xm,main =
60.6
X2,main =
1.72
Core loss = 38 W Friction and windage = 11.8 W
Find the speed, stator current, torque, power output, and efficiency when the
motor is operating at rated voltage and a slip of 4.2 percent.
9.6 Write a MATLAB script to produce plots of the speed and efficiency of the
single-phase motor of Problem 9.5 as a function of output power over the
range 0 < Pout < 500 W.
9.7 At standstill the rms currents in the main and auxiliary windings of a
four-pole, capacitor-start induction motor
are/main =
20.7 A and
laux = 11.1 A respectively. The auxiliary-winding current leads the
main-winding current by 53 ° . The effective turns per pole (i.e., the number of
turns corrected for the effects of winding distribution)
are Nmain --
42 and
Naux = 68. The windings are in space quadrature.
a. Determine the peak amplitudes of the forward and backward stator-mmf
waves.
b. Suppose it were possible to adjust the magnitude and phase of the
auxiliary-winding current. What magnitude and phase would produce a
purely forward mmf wave?
9.8 Derive an expression in terms of
a2,main
for the nonzero speed of a
single-phase induction motor at which the internal torque is zero. (See
Example 9.2.)
9.9 The equivalent-circuit parameters of an 8-kW, 230-V, 60-Hz, four-pole,
two-phase, squirrel-cage induction motor in ohms per phase are
Rl = 0.253 Xl = 1.14 Xm = 32.7 R2 = 0.446
X2 =
1.30
This motor is operated from an unbalanced two-phase, 60-Hz source
whose phase voltages are, respectively, 223 and 190 V, the smaller voltage
leading the larger by 73 °. For a slip of 0.045, find
a. the phase currents in each of the windings and
b. the internal mechanical power.
