When the 3-phase star connected squirrel-cage asynchronous motor with 2-pole, 18.5 kW, 400V, 50 Hz label values operates at rated power (full load), the slip value is 4% and the power coefficient is 0.88. When operating at rated power, friction and ventilation losses are equal to 5% of the useful power. Since the iron and copper losses of the stator while operating at rated power are 3 times the copper losses of the rotor; a) Calculate the rotor mechanical speed (rpm) at full load. b) Calculate the mechanical power at full load. c) Calculate the input power (active power drawn from the grid) at full load.
