Question

A three-phase, 440-V, 60-Hz, wye-connected induction motor takes a stator current of 50 A at 0.8 power
factor while running at its rated speed of 855 rpm. The stator loss is 2500 W, and the rotational losses
are 3200 W. Calculate the efficiency of the motor.

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Slip = (NS-Nr/Ns)×100

Input power = sqrt(3)×line voltage ×line current ×power factor. 

Rotor input = stator input - stator losses.

Power developed = rotor input - rotor cupper losses.

Output power = power developed- rotational losses. 

Efficiency = output power/input power.
