Textbook Question
Chapter 32, Problem 3PA
You are an electrician working in an industrial plant. A 30-hp three-phase squirrel- cage motor keeps tripping out on overload. The motor is connected to a 240-volt line. Voltage measurements indicate the following voltages between the different phases: A-B = 276 volts, B-C = 221 volts, and A-C = 267 volts. Determine the percentage of heat rise in the winding with the highest current.
