Question: A three - phase delta - connected ac voltage controller is used to control the speed of a 3 - , 5 h p ,

A three-phase delta-connected ac voltage controller is used to control the speed of a 3-,5hp,208V,60Hz induction motor. At full-load output (5hp,208V), the power factor is 0.85 lagging, and the efficiency is 90%.
(a) Draw the circuit.
(b) Determine the input KVA for full-load output condition.
(c) What is the range of the firing angle for the full-load condition.
(d) Determine the (i) voltage and (ii) current ratings of the thyristors for full-load condition.
(e) If the power factor is 0.8(lagging), for a firing angle of 60, draw qualitatively the waveform of the motor current and motor voltage for one phase.
