Question: Problem # 3 - Induction Motor Characterization ( 3 8 points ) A three - phase, Y - connected, 4 1 6 0 V ,

Problem #3- Induction Motor Characterization (38 points)
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.
