Here are the calculations for the alternator and induction motor:
5.3 Calculate the terminal EMF on open circuit.
Given:
- Poles P=4
- Frequency f=50 Hz
- Total slots S=38
- Conductors per slot Zslot=18
- Flux per pole Φ=0.04 Wb
- Connection: Mesh-connected (Delta)
Step 1: Calculate the number of turns per phase (Tph).
Total conductors Ztotal=S×Zslot=38×18=684.
Total turns Ttotal=2Ztotal=2684=342.
For a three-phase winding, turns per phase Tph=3Ttotal=3342=114 turns.
Step 2: Calculate the distribution factor (kd).
Slots per pole Ns/p=PS=438=9.5.
Slots per pole per phase m=3Ns/p=39.5=619≈3.167.
Electrical angle between adjacent slots β=Ns/p180∘=9.5180∘≈18.947∘.
The distribution factor is given by:
kd=msin(2β)sin(2mβ)
kd=619sin(218.947∘)sin(2619×18.947∘)
kd=619sin(9.4735∘)sin(30∘)
kd=3.167×0.16450.5≈0.960
Assume pitch factor kp=1 (full pitch).
Step 3: Calculate the EMF per phase (Eph).
The EMF equation is:
Eph=4.44kpkdfΦTph
Eph=4.44×1×0.960×50Hz×0.04Wb×114turns
Eph≈972.8V
Step 4: Determine the terminal EMF (VL).
For a mesh (delta) connected alternator, the line voltage is equal to the phase voltage.
VL=Eph=972.8 V
5.4 A three-phase, 50 Hz induction motor has four poles and runs at a speed of 1 440 rev/min when the total torque developed by the rotor is 80 Nm.
Given:
- Poles P=4
- Frequency f=50 Hz
- Rotor speed Nr=1440 rev/min
- Torque developed T=80 Nm
5.4.1 The total input (in kilowatts) to the rotor.
Step 1: Calculate the synchronous speed (Ns).
Ns=P120f=4120×50Hz=1500rev/min
Step 2: Calculate the synchronous angular speed (ωs).
