Question 2 (a) A three-phase 50-Hz four-pole star-connected cage induction motor gave the following testing results: Stator winding resistance per phase Locked rotor test at rated stator current No load test at rated stator voltage 0.75 Ω 100 V, 28 A, 2.8 kW 380 V, 5 A, 2.1 kW Friction and windage losses are negligible. Based on the approximate model, (i) calculate the rated speed and rated torque of the machine; and (ii) calculate the starting torque of the machine at direct online starting. (b) Briefly explain why induction machines are preferred over de machines in most industrial application.

Question 2
(a) A three-phase 50-Hz four-pole star-connected cage induction motor gave the following testing
results:
Stator winding resistance per phase
Locked rotor test at rated stator current
No load test at rated stator voltage
0.75 Ω
100 V, 28 A, 2.8 kW
380 V, 5 A, 2.1 kW
Friction and windage losses are negligible. Based on the approximate model,
(i) calculate the rated speed and rated torque of the machine; and
(ii) calculate the starting torque of the machine at direct online starting.
(b) Briefly explain why induction machines are preferred over de machines in most industrial
application.
