Question
A 25 kW, three-phase 400 V (line), 50 Hz induction motor with a 2.5:1
reducing gearbox is used to power an elevator in a high-rise building.
The motor will have to pull a full load of 500 kg at a speed of 5 m/s using
a pulley of 0.5 m in diameter and a slip ratio of 4.5%. The motor has a
full-load efficiency of 91% and a rated power factor of 0.8 lagging. The
stator series impedance is (0.08 + j0.90) Q and rotor series impedance
(standstill impedance referred to stator) is (0.06 + j0.60) Q.
Calculate:
(i) the rotor rotational speed (in rpm) and torque (in N·m) of the
induction motor under the above conditions and ignoring the
losses.
(ii)
(!!!)
the number of pole-pairs this induction motor must have to
achieve this rotational speed.
the full-load and start-up currents (in amps).
