An induction motor is being tested using a DC generator and a controlled rectifier.
Both the induction motor and the controlled rectifier are connected to a 3-phase 230V ,60Hz system.
1. Calculate the delay angle of the rectifier in order to operate the induction motor at its maximum torque.
=117.7
2. What will be the current drawn by the induction motor, the DC generator current, and the current supplied by the rectifier to the AC system?
Current drawn by the induction motor:
IIM =35.7940.3 A
DC generator current:
IDC =55.3 A
Current supplied by the rectifier to the AC system:
Irect =43.13117 A
3. How much total power will be drawn from the system to conduct this experiment? Note the mode of the controlled rectifier.
P =3,074.98 W
