Level 4 Date : 16/10/2014

1. A 3-ph, 400-V induction motor gave the following test readings; No-load : 400 V, 1250
W, 9 A, Short-circuit : 150 V, 4 kW, 38 A Draw the circle diagram. If the normal rating
is 14.9 kW, find from the circle diagram, the full-load value of current, p.f. and slip.

2. Draw the circle diagram for a 3.73 kW, 200-V, 50-Hz, 4-pole, 3-φ star-connected
induction motor from the following test data :

No-load : Line voltage 200 V, line current 5 A; total input 350 W


Blocked rotor : Line voltage 100 V, line current 26 A; total input 1700 W

Estimate from the diagram for full-load condition, the line current, power factor and
also the maximum torque in terms of the full-load torque. The rotor Cu loss at
standstill is half the total Cu loss.

3. Draw the circle diagram from no-load and short-circuit test of a 3-phase. 14.92 kW,
400-V, 6-pole induction motor from the following test results (line values):
No-load : 400-V, 11 A, p.f. = 0.2
Short-circuit : 100-V, 25 A, p.f. = 0.4

Rotor Cu loss at standstill is half the total Cu loss. From the diagram, find:
(a) line current,
(b) slip, efficiency
(c) p.f. at full-load
(d) the maximum torque.

4. A 415-V, 29.84 kW, 50-Hz, delta-connected motor gave the following test data :
No-load test : 415 V, 21 A, 1,250 W
Locked rotor test : 100 V, 45 A, 2,730 W

Construct the circle diagram and determine:


(a) the line current and power factor for rated output
(b) the maximum torque.
Assume stator and rotor Cu losses equal at standstill.
