Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Calculate the speed in rpm for of an eight pole, 240V, 60-hertz squirrel cage induction motor.

Answer to Problem 1SQ

The speed in rpm of a squirrel cage induction motor is 900rpm.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

The number of poles (n) is 8.

The frequency (f) is 60Hz.

The line voltage (E) is 240V.

Formula Used:

Write the expression to calculate the speed in rpm of a squirrel cage induction motor.

Speedinrpm=60×HertzPairsofpoles (1)

Calculation:

The total number of poles in the motor is 8. Therefore, the number of pairs of poles of the motor is 4.

Substitute 60 for Hertz and 4 for Pairsofpoles in Equation (1) to find speed.

Speedinrpm=60×604=36004=900rpm

Conclusion:

Thus, the speed in rpm of a squirrel cage induction motor is 900rpm.

For the single-line diagram in the image, convert the zero-, positive-, and negative-sequence reactance date to per-unit using the given base quantities. Use subtransient machine reactances.Then, USE PowerWorld Simulator, create the generator, transmission line, and transformer input data files.Next, run the Simulator to compute subtransient fault currents for (1) single line-to-ground, (2) line-to-line, and (3) double line-to-ground bolted faults at each bus. Assume 1.0 per unit prefault voltage and neglect prefault load currents and all losses. Note: L2 = 25 kmShow input data files (machine, transmission line and transformers), output data (fault currents, bus volatges and line currents), and screenshots of the Simulation.
