Main winding current and pf at 5% slip
Short answer
Using double-field theory, forward and backward impedances are computed from given parameters. Total input impedance Z = 61.55∠48.24° Ω. Main winding current I = 230/61.55 = 3.74 A, power factor = cos 48.24° ≈ 0.666 lagging.
A 230 V, 50 Hz, 4 pole, class A, single phase induction motor has the following parameters: r1m = 2.51 Ω, r2' = 7.81 Ω, Xm = 150.88 Ω, x1m = 4.62 Ω, x2' = 4.62 Ω. Determine the main winding current and power factor when the motor is running at a slip of 0.05.
Using double field revolving theory, the rotor and magnetising branches are split into forward and backward halves. Core loss is neglected (no core-loss resistance is given).
