To determine

Explain whether the solid state power recovery controller is a perpetual motion machine or not.

Answer to Problem 1SQ

No, the solid state power recovery controller is not a perpetual motion machine.

Explanation of Solution

A machine which provides an output without an input energy source is known as perpetual motion machine. The energy is neither created nor destroyed. Therefore, there will be no losses in this system.

In the solid state power recovery controller machine, there should be some energy applied to keep the machine in motion. It includes losses such as copper loss, iron loss, friction, and windage loss. Due to these losses, the output is lesser than the input. Therefore, the solid state recovery controller is not a perpetual motion machine.

Conclusion:

Thus, the solid state power recovery controller is not a perpetual motion machine.

a) Determine the setting of the overload protection of the circuit breaker intended to protect a 50hp, 380V, IV-pole motor, powered by a unipolar copper-PVC conductor circuit, with a cross-section of 25mm², installed in a buried conduit: The short-circuit current at the motor terminal is 5KA. It is assumed that the overload current of the conductor throughout its useful life is controlled and will not exceed 100 hours for 12 consecutive months or 500 hours throughout the useful life of the conductor. Data: fp = 0.86; efficiency = 0.92 a) Determine the minimum operating time of the circuit breaker in the event of a short-circuit at the motor terminals.
