d) Calculate the electric power being generated by the loop for the conditions in b).
e) Calculate the mechanical power being consumed by the loop for the conditions in b. How does this number

3 A three-phase Y-connected ac machine is initially operating under balanced three-phase conditions

when one of the phase windings becomes open-circuited. Because there is no neutral connection on
the winding, this requires that the currents in the remaining two windings become equal and opposite.
Under this condition, calculate the relative magnitudes of the resultant positive- and negative-traveling
mmf waves.

4 What is the effect on the rotating mmf and flux waves of a three-phase winding produced by balanced-
three-phase currents if two of the phase connections are interchanges?

5 In a balanced two-phase machine, the two windings are displaced 90 electrical degrees in space, and the
currents in the two windings are phase-displaced 90 electrical degrees in time. For such a machine, carry out
the process leading to an equation for the rotating mmf wave.
