Questions:

31.) What losses are measured by the no load test?

32.) following Example 11 outline the procedure to be followed to calculate the four important characteristics of
an induction motor, namely horse power output torque, percent efficiency and power factor.

33.) Explain carefully how the blocked rotor test is performed.

34.) What important constants may be obtained from the blocked rotor test is performed.

35.) At what speed will the maximum torque occur?

36.) Why is the starting period of the most severe period in the operation of a motor? Why is the period more
serious in the dc motors than in induction motors?

37.) What practice may be employed to reduce starting current in squirrel cage motors? In wound rotor motors?

38.) What is the objection to starting a squirrel cage induction motor on reduced voltage?

39.) List three methods generally used to start poly-phase squirrel age motors.

40.) Describe the construction of the double cage rotor.

41.) Explain why the starting current is minimized and the starting torque is comparatively high when a double
cage rotor is used in an induction motor.

42.) Why does a double cage rotor motor have good efficiency under normal operating conditions?

43.) Referring to fig. 238, explain the operation of a full voltage automatic starter when connected to a squirrel
cage motor.

44.) Referring to fig. 239 explain the operation of the compensator method of a starting a induction motor.

45.) Referring to fig. 242, explain the operation of the line resistance method of starting and induction motor.

Problems:

11.) A blocked rotor test was performed upon the motor of prob. 10, and the following data were obtained: Vnr
= 48; I = 18; P = 610. Calculate (a) the equivalent resistance of the motor per phase Rn = (c) the equivalent
blocked rotor reactance per phase

12.) Using the result of prob. 11, calculate the speed at which the torque will be a maximum.

13.) Calculate the starting torque of the motor of prob.10, when it started (a) at 230 volts; (b) at 110 volts.
14.) A four pole 230 volt 60 cycle induction motor has a rotor resistance per phase and a rotor reactance of 0.5
ohm per phase. Calculate the bone power output and the torque for a slip of 5 percent.

15.) The following data were obtained from tests performed upon a 10 hp 230 volt six poles induction motor:

No load test: Vout = 230; P = 410; I = 8.5 load test Vi = 230, P = 8,350; I = 23: rpm = 1,140 effective resistance
of stator per phase = 0.14 ohm friction + windage low = 210 watts.
