Question: Question 4 A 6 - pole 3 - phase 5 0 Hz induction motor with a star - connected rotor has a resistance per phase

Question 4 A 6-pole 3-phase 50 Hz induction motor with a star-connected rotor has a resistance per phase of 0.25 and at standstill the reactance per phase is 1.2. The measured emf between the slip rings at standstill is 120 V.(a) List 3 advantages of 3-phase induction motors over single-phase motors. [3 marks](b) For a full-load speed is 960 rpm, calculate the following quantities: (i) the motor slip and the [3 marks](ii) the voltage induced in each phase of the motor [3 marks](iii) the rotor reactance per phase [2 marks](iv) the rotor current and power factor [5 marks](c) Calculate what value of resistance would need to be added in series with the slip rings at start up to limit the rotor starting current to 30 A.[4 marks] Assume the rings are short-circuited at full-load.
