What are the disadvantages of low-speed, directly coupled induction motors?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The disadvantages of low-speed, directly coupled induction motor.
Explanation of Solution
The directly coupled induction motors are rarely used in the applications where the required speed is below 500rpm. The induction motor take very less current from the supply main.
The vector sum of load current and magnetizing current lags voltage by around 75-80 degrees and hence, the power factor is low. Due to high magnetizing current, the copper losses of the motor increase. This in turn leads to decrease in the efficiency of the motor.
Thus Disadvantage of low-speed, directly coupled induction motors are low power factor and low efficiency.

14.23. A double-effect forward-feed
evaporator is required to give a product
consisting of 30 per cent crystals and a
mother liquor containing 40 per cent by
mass of dissolved solids. Heat transfer
coefficients are 2.8 and 1.7 kW/m² K in the
first and second effects respectively. Dry
saturated steam is supplied at 375 kN/m²
and the condenser operates at 13.5 kN/
m².
(a) What area of heating surface is
required in each effect assuming the
effects are identical, if the feed rate is 0.6
kg/s of liquor, containing 20 per cent by
mass of dissolved solids, and the feed
temperature is 313 K?
(b) What is the pressure above the boiling
liquid in the first effect?
The specific heat capacity may be
taken as constant at 4.18 kJ/kg K. and
the effects of boiling-point rise and of
hydrostatic head may be neglected.
