A 3-phase motor is rated at 100VA 0.9pf lag when operated with 100V 60Hz. The motor must be operated within 95-105V only. There is also an existing 100V 60Hz 3-phase generator set to be tested and verify if it can power the motor. There is a 3-phase connector with 15A rating per line that can be used. Computing for the expected per phase impedance values assuming that the motor is a delta-connected load, what is the per phase impedance of the motor modeling it as a delta-connected load?
Synchronous Generator
In comparison to an asynchronous generator, it is a machine where the rotor speed is equal to the rotating magnetic field produced by the stator, i.e., mechanical speed is equal to the electrical speed, thus called synchronous, and not asynchronous.
Salient Pole Rotor
Salient pole rotor includes a large number of exposed poles mounted on a magnetic wheel. The construction of a bright pole is as shown in the image on the left. The proposed poles are made of metal laminations. The rotor winding is provided on these poles and is supported by pole shoes.
