1. Three number of single phase ideal transformers, each of rating. 10kVA, 200V / 100V,
50Hz is connected in star/delta fashion to supply a balanced three phase 20 kW, 0.8
power factor load at 100V(line to line).
A. Draw a circuit diagram for this.
B. Calculate what line to line voltage should be applied to the primary side?
C. Calculate the line and phase currents on the secondary and primary sides and
indicate them on the diagram.
2. Two adjustable-speed dc shunt motors have maximum speeds of 1800 r/min and minimum
speeds of 500 r/min. Speed adjustment is obtained by field-rheostat control. Motor A drives
a load requiring constant power over the speed range; motor B drives one requiring
constant torque. All losses and armature reaction may be neglected.
A. If the power outputs of the two motors are equal at 1800 r/min and the armature
currents are each 125 A, what will the armature currents be at 500 r/min?
B. If the power outputs of the two motors are equal at 500 r/min and the armature
currents are each 125 A, what will the armature current be at 1800 r/min?
C. Answer parts (A) and (B) with speed adjustment by armature-voltage control with
conditions otherwise the same.
3. A 25-kW, 230-V shunt motor has an armature resistance of 0.112 Ω and a field
resistance of 117 Ω. At no load and rated voltage, the speed is 2150 r/min
and the armature current is 6.35 A. At full load and rated voltage, the armature
current is 115 A and, because of armature reaction, the flux is 6 percent less
than its no-load value. What is the full-load speed?
4. A 50-Hz, two-pole, 750 kVA, 2300 V, three-phase synchronous machine has a
synchronous reactance of 7.75 Ω and achieves rated open-circuit terminal voltage at a field
current of 120 A.
a) Calculate the armature-to-field mutual inductance.
b) The machine is to be operated as a motor supplying a 600 kW load at its rated
terminal voltage. Calculate the internal voltage Eaf and the corresponding field
current if the motor is operating at unity power factor.
5. The manufacturer's data sheet for a 26-kV, 750-MVA, 60-Hz, three-phase
synchronous generator indicates that it has a synchronous reactance Xs = 2.04 and a leakage
reactance Xal = 0.18, both in per unit on the generator base. Calculate
a) The synchronous inductance in mH,
b) The armature leakage inductance in mH, and
c) The armature phase inductance Laa in mH and per unit
