Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 1PA
An AC electric motor is connected to a 240-V, 60-Hz source. A clamp-on ammeter with a peak hold function reveals that the motor has an inrush current of 34 A when the motor is first started. Your job is to reduce the inrush current to a value of 20 A by connecting a resistor in series with the motor. The resistor will be shunted out of the circuit after the motor is started. Using an ohmmeter, you find that the motor has a wire resistance of 3

Cable A
Cable A is a coaxial cable of constant cross section. The metal
regions are shaded in grey and are made of copper. The solid central
wire has radius a = 5mm, the outer tube inner radius b = 20mm and
thickness t = 5mm. The dielectric spacer is Teflon, of relative
permittivity &r = 2.1 and breakdown strength 350kV/cm. A potential
difference of 1kV is applied across the conductors, with centre
conductor positive and outer conductor earthed.
Before undertaking any COMSOL simulations we'll first perform some theoretical analysis
of Cable A based on the EN2076 lectures, to make sense of the simulations. Calculate the
radial electric field of cable A at radial positions r b. Also calculate the
maximum operating voltage of cable A, assuming a safety margin of ×2, and indicate where
on the cable's cross section dielectric breakdown is most likely to occur.
