Question: A large 7 . 5 MW , three - phase, 6 . 6 kV , 5 0 Hz , 4 - pole, induction motor is

A large 7.5 MW, three-phase, 6.6 kV,50 Hz,4-pole, induction motor is used in water treatment station to pump treated water to a reservoir. The per phase equivalent circuit parameters of the motor are as follows: R1=0.08, X1=1.4, Xm =58, Rc =750, X 2=1.4 and R 2=0.085. The machine drives the pump at a speed of 1475 rev/min. Draw the approximate equivalent circuit of the machine and use it to calculate the corresponding values of (i) the motors mechanical output power, (ii) stator current, (iii) the shaft torque developed by the motor, and (iv) stator power and reactive power. Calculate the rms starting current of the machine when started directly from the three-phase supply with no starting arrangement. Answers: 6304 kW; (685.933.07) A; 40.8 kNm; 6570 kW,4278 kVar; 1427 A.
