Question: A three - phase delta - connected ac voltage controller is used to control the speed of a 3 - , 5 hp , 2

A three-phase delta-connected ac voltage controller is used to control the speed of a 3-,5 hp,208 V,60 Hz induction motor. At full-load output (5 hp,208 V), 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 60o , draw qualitatively the waveform of the motor current and motor voltage for one phase.
