Answer
Step-by-step solution
5 stepsHere are the calculations for the kVA output and phase currents.
Given:
- Motor output power
- Line voltage
- Motor efficiency
- Power factor lagging
- Alternator connection: Star-connected
- Motor connection: Delta-connected
Calculate the input power to the motor ().
The alternator output power is the motor input power.
Calculate the kVA output of the alternator ().
The kVA output of the alternator is the apparent power input to the motor.
Calculate the line current () supplied by the alternator and drawn by the motor.
For a three-phase system, the apparent power is .
Calculate the phase current in the alternator windings ().
The alternator is star-connected. For a star connection, the line current is equal to the phase current.
Calculate the phase current in the motor windings ().
The motor is delta-connected. For a delta connection, the phase current is the line current divided by .
