Question: Q 2 : A three - phase, star - connected, 3 6 hp , 4 0 0 V , 4 - pole, 5 0 Hz

Q2: A three-phase, star-connected, 36hp,400V,4-pole, 50Hz, wound rotor induction motor has the following parameters per phase: R1=0.35 X1=0.75 XM =40 R2=0.3 X2=0.75 Mechanical losses =2700W Initially the rotor terminals are short-circuited. Calculate: a) The stator supply current and power factor when supplying rated power at a slip of 8.5%. b) Calculate the value of magnetising current, IM, at this operating point. c) Calculate the torque produced at this operating point. d) The maximum value of torque with the rotor short-circuited and the speed this maximum torque occurs at. e) The value of extra rotor resistance required to be added in the rotor circuit to achieve maximum torque at start-up, i.e. the level of torque calculated in (d).
