To determine

Identify how the direction of rotation of a three-phase motor can be changed.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

By changing any of the two motor leads, the direction of rotation of any three-phase motor can be reversed. Separate contactor will be required in each direction since the motor is connected to the power line regardless of the operating direction.

As per NEMA standards, the leads 1 and 3 will be changed for reversing and only one overload relay is needed to protect the motor. A reversing controller is one in which two separate contactors and one overload relay are built as one unit.

2. A single crystal of aluminum is oriented for a tensile test such that its slip plane normal makes an angle of 28.1° with the tensile axis. Three possible slip directions make angles of  62.4°, 72.0°, and 81.1° with the same tensile axis.  (a) Which of these three slip directions is most favored?  (b) If plastic deformation begins at a tensile stress of σ x = 1.95 MPa (280 psi), determine the critical resolved shear stress for aluminium. (c) If this single crystalspecimen is loaded under the new stress state: σ x =1.2 MPa σ y = -0.8 MPa, and τ xy = 0.6 MPa, howmuch is the resolve the shear stress along the most favored slip direction?
