    Ef = Vt – Ia × S

    =
    11
    kV - j100 × 50
    3

    = 6350 – j5000
    | Ef | = √(6350)² + (5000)²
    = 8082.23
    Now, (Ia × S)2 = Ef 2 + Vt 2 – 2Ef Vt cos δ
    (120 × 50)2 = 8082.232 + 63502 – 2 × 8082.23 × 6350 × cos δ
    ∴ δ = – 47.27°

    Correct Option: A

    kV - j100 × 50
    3

    = 6350 – j5000
    | Ef | = √(6350)² + (5000)²

    Now, (Ia × S)2 = Ef 2 + Vt 2 – 2Ef Vt cos δ
    (120 × 50)2 = 8082.232 + 63502 – 2 × 8082.23 × 6350 × cos δ

  1. A 220 V, 3-phase, 4-pole, 50 Hz inductor motor of wound rotor type is supplied at rated voltage and frequency. The stator resistance, magnetizing reactance, and core loss are negligible. The maximum torque produced by the rotor is 225% of full load torque and it occurs at 15% slip. The actual rotor resistance is 0.03 Ω/phase. The value of external resistance (in Ohm) which must be inserted in a rotor phase if the maximum torque is to occur at start is ___________.

    ∴ r2 = x2 = 0.2 Ω
    Hence external resistance = 0.2 – 0.03 = 0.17 Ω

    Correct Option: B

  1. A shunt-connected DC motor operates at its rated terminal voltage. Its no-load speed is 200 radians/ second. At its rated torque of 500 Nm, its speed is 180 radian/second. The motor is used to directly drive a load whose load torque TL depends on its rotational speed (in radians/second), such that TL = 2.78 × ωT. Neglecting rotational losses, the steady-state speed (in radian/second) of the motor, when it drives this load is ______.

    Under steady state condition
    load torque = motor torque
    ∴ 500 = 2.78 × ωT

    ∴ ωT =
