Question: A 3 0 , 0 0 0 hp , 1 3 . 8 kV , 3 - phase, 6 0 Hz air - to -

A 30,000 hp,13.8 kV,3-phase, 60 Hz air-to-water cooled induction motor drives
a turbo compressor in a large oxygen manufacturing plant. The motor runs at an
exact full-load speed of 1782.6 r/min and by means of a gearbox, it drives the
compressor at a speed of 5064 r/min. The motor has an efficiency of 85.9%
and a power factor of 0.88. The LR torque and the current are respectively 0.7 pu
and 4.8 pu.
Calculate the following:
(15) The full-load current
_____________________ A.
(16) The rotor I2R losses if the windage and friction losses amount to 68 kW
_____________________ kW.
(17) The LR current
_____________________ A.
(18) The torque developed at the compressor shaft
_____________________ kN-m
