Explanation of Solution

Given:

The name plate current of three-phase motor is 56 A.

Calculation:

A failure phase occurs when power is lost from a three-phase motor power supply line. The motor is still running, but it draws excessive current. This phenomenon is known as Single phasing. Single phasing causes a current increase of 173% in average of both phases which remain energized in a three-phase motor.

Calculate the current flowing in two remaining phases:

  Iavg=173%ofI=173100×I=1.73×56A=96.88A

Thus, the average amount of current flowing in two remaining phases is 96.88A_.
