Consider the motor of Problem 5.10. a. Compute the field current required when the motor is operating

Question:

Consider the motor of Problem 5.10.

a. Compute the field current required when the motor is operating at rated voltage, 4200 kW input power at 0.87 power factor leading. Account for saturation under load by the method described in the paragraph relating to Eq. 5.29.

b. In addition to the data given in Problem 5.10, additional points on the open-circuit characteristic are given below: If the circuit breaker supplying the motor of part (a) is tripped, leaving the motor suddenly open-circuited, estimate the value of the motor terminal voltage following the trip (before the motor begins to slow down and before any protection circuitry reduces the field current).
