Question: A 1 2 0 - V , 6 0 - Hz , two - pole, permanent - split - capacitor, single - phase induction motor

A 120-V,60-Hz, two-pole, permanent-split-capacitor, single-phase induction
motor has a rated output power of 500 W. When operated at its rated voltage
and load with an auxiliary-winding capacitance of 41.3 F, the main-winding
current is observed to be 4.89 A at a phase angle (with respect to the applied
voltage) of 55.8 and the auxiliary-winding current is observed to be 3.32 A
Calculate the motor power input, power factor, and efficiency.
Calculate the impedances Z main and Z aux of the main and auxiliary windings.
The main and auxiliary windings differ only in their number of turns. The main winding has 180 turns/pole. Calculate the turns/pole of the auxiliary winding.
Show that under this operating condition, the combined mmfs of the main
current which will lag that of the main winding by 90. Exercise your program
at a phase angle of 34.2.
