Chapter 36, Problem 1SQ

Are the secondary resistors connected in three uniform wye or delta sections?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Explain whether the secondary rotor resistors are connected in wye or delta sections.

Answer to Problem 1SQ

The secondary rotor resistors are connected in wye sections.

Explanation of Solution

The secondary resistor starter is typically used for an automatic acceleration of wound rotor motors. It comprises of line starter for connecting primary (stator winding) circuit to the line and more number of accelerating contactors is used to shunt out resistance in the secondary circuit when rotor speed increases.

Refer to Figure 36-1 in the textbook which shows typical control circuit for accelerating a slip ring induction motor. In the circuit, the secondary resistor consists of three sets of uniform wye sections. Each wye section is connected to slip rings of the wound rotor motor. The wye section is also called as star section.

Conclusion:

Thus, the secondary rotor resistors are connected in wye sections.

An inner-city electric bus with 7,200kg weight and average speed of 72 km/hour operates using a hybrid power source of lithium-ion battery pack and a bank of super capacitor. equipped with a lithium battery pack and a bank of supercapacitor. The energy content of the supercapacitor bank is twice the regenerative breaking energy of the electric bus at average speed. The electric bus commutes 490 km per charged battery and consumes 400 Wh/km.   Design the supercapacitor bank to provide 100V output, based on supercapacitor cells with 3600F capacitance and 2V.                                           Calculate the energy density of the supercapacitor at the cell level, assume cells with 10cm diameter and 15 cm height.                                             3. Design the battery pack for the electric bus by assuming that the energy of regenerative breaking will not be used for commuting but used to run the vehicle’s accessories. The unit cell of the battery pack is a lithium-ion…
