Solution

To solve this example for a three-phase induction motor, we need to calculate the speed, output torque and power, stator current, power factor, and efficiency when the motor is operated at rated voltage and frequency, given a slip of 1.6%.

The provided motor data are as follows:

  • R1=0.271ΩR_1 = 0.271 \, \Omega
  • R2=0.188ΩR_2 = 0.188 \, \Omega
  • X1=1.12ΩX_1 = 1.12 \, \Omega
  • X2=1.91ΩX_2 = 1.91 \, \Omega
  • Xm=23.10ΩX_m = 23.10 \, \Omega
  • Pcore losses=320WP_{\text{core losses}} = 320 \, \text{W}
  • Motor power: 20 kW (rated power)
  • Rated voltage: 460 V (line-to-line)
  • Frequency: 60 Hz
  • Slip: 1.6% (s=0.016s = 0.016)
  • Number of poles: 6

1. Speed Calculation:

The synchronous speed NsN_s of the motor is given by the formula:

Ns=120×fPN_s = \frac{120 \times f}{P}

where:

  • f=60Hzf = 60 \, \text{Hz} (frequency)
  • P=6P = 6 (number of poles)

Substituting the values:

Ns=120×606=1200rpmN_s = \frac{120 \times 60}{6} = 1200 \, \text{rpm}

The rotor speed NrN_r is related to the slip by:

Nr=Ns(1s)N_r = N_s (1 - s)

where s=0.016s = 0.016 is the slip. Thus:

Nr=1200(10.016)=1200×0.984=1180.8rpmN_r = 1200 (1 - 0.016) = 1200 \times 0.984 = 1180.8 \, \text{rpm}

2. Output Power and Torque:

The output power is given by:

Pout=PinputPlosses=20,000W320W=19,680WP_{\text{out}} = P_{\text{input}} - P_{\text{losses}} = 20,000 \, \text{W} - 320 \, \text{W} = 19,680 \, \text{W}

To find the torque, use the formula:

T=PoutωrT = \frac{P_{\text{out}}}{\omega_r}

where ωr\omega_r is the rotor angular velocity in radians per second:

ωr=2πNr60=2π×1180.860123.58rad/s\omega_r = \frac{2\pi N_r}{60} = \frac{2\pi \times 1180.8}{60} \approx 123.58 \, \text{rad/s}

Thus, the torque is:

T=19,680123.58159.3NmT = \frac{19,680}{123.58} \approx 159.3 \, \text{Nm}

3. Stator Current:

We can calculate the stator current using the power and voltage. For a three-phase system:

Pinput=3VLLI1cosϕP_{\text{input}} = \sqrt{3} V_{LL} I_1 \cos \phi

However, we need additional information about the power factor (cosϕ\cos \phi) and the impedance to find the exact stator current.

4. Power Factor:

The power factor is related to the impedance of the motor. Without more information on the phase angle, we can estimate using:

cosϕ=RtotalZtotal\cos \phi = \frac{R_{\text{total}}}{Z_{\text{total}}}

5. Efficiency:

The efficiency of the motor is given by:

η=PoutPinput\eta = \frac{P_{\text{out}}}{P_{\text{input}}}

With the input power at 20 kW and output power at 19.68 kW:

η=19,68020,000=0.984or98.4%\eta = \frac{19,680}{20,000} = 0.984 \, \text{or} \, 98.4\%

Summary:

  • Speed: Nr=1180.8rpmN_r = 1180.8 \, \text{rpm}
  • Torque: T=159.3NmT = 159.3 \, \text{Nm}
  • Efficiency: 98.4%98.4\%
  • Power Factor and Stator Current would need further impedance calculations.
