Question: A three - phase, Y - connected, 4 1 6 0 V , 6 0 H z , 2 2 5 0 h p squirrel

A three-phase, Y-connected, 4160V,60Hz,2250hp squirrel-cage induction motor is used in a chiller compressor to provide chilled water that is in turn used for air conditioning in a building complex. A line-to-neutral DC test shows VDC=9V and IDC=250A. The motor is tested to later determine its efficiency curve and the following test results are reported using the two-Wattmeter method.
No load test: P3,NL=83,350W,VNL=4160V,INL=22A.
Locked-rotor test: P3,LR=5,000W,VLR=175V,ILR=232A.
a)(8 points) Draw and label the per-phase equivalent circuit model of this motor.
b)(10 points) Find the motor's equivalent circuit parameters.
c)(10 points) Find the motor's efficiency when the slip is 5% and the motor is fed by rated voltage. Ignore the magnetizing branch (xm and Rc), stray losses, and mechanical losses but assume that core losses are constant at 100 kW .
d)(10 points) Find the motor's total copper losses for the conditions in part (c). Help
