Concept explainers
Explain the reason for the idle winding to remain open circuited in the running condition of a four speed, two winding motor.
Explanation of Solution
Refer to Figure 33-2 in the Textbook, which illustrates the common motor connections of the four-speed, two winding motors with different speeds.
The idle winding of the motor remains to be open circuited in running state on given speeds. Through open circuiting, energizing windings can be prevented from imposing of unnecessary electrical loads. These loads can result from the transformer action which produces the circulating currents in the secondary, idle winding.
Conclusion:
Thus, the reason for the idle winding to remain open circuited in the running condition of a four speed, two winding motor is explained.

- Each branch of a three-phase star-connected load consists of a coil of resistance 4.2 Ω and reactance 5.6 Ω. The load is supplied at a line voltage of 400 V, 50 Hz. The total active power supplied to the load is measured by the two-wattmeter method. Draw a circuit diagram of the wattmeter connections and calculate their separate readings. Derive any formula used in your calculations. ANS: 13.1 kW, 1.71 kWarrow_forwardThree non-reactive loads are connected in delta across a three-phase, three-wire, 400 V supply in the following way: (i) 10 kW across R and Y lines; (ii) 6 kW across Y and B lines; (iii) 4 kW across B and R lines. Draw a phasor diagram showing the three line voltages and the load currents and determine: (a) the current in the B line and its phase relationship to the line voltage VBR; (b) the reading of a wattmeter whose current coils are connected in the B line and whose voltage circuit is connected across the B and R lines. The phase rotation is R–Y–B. Where would a second wattmeter be connected for the two-wattmeter method and what would be its reading?
