Condition for Maximum Power Developed In Synchronous Motor

The value of δ for which the mechanical power developed is maximum can be obtained as, Note : Thus when R a is negligible, θ = 90 o for maximum power developed. The corresponding torque is called pull out torque. 1.1 The Value of Maximum Power Developed        The value of maximum power developed can be obtained by substituting θ = δ in the equation of P m .        When R a is negligible,     θ = 90 o  and cos (θ) = 0 hence, . . .               R a = Z s cosθ   and X s = Z s sinθ        Substituting   cosθ = R a /Z s in equation (6b) we get,         Solving the above quadratic in E b we get,        As E b is completely dependent on excitation, the equation (8) gives the excitation limits for any load for a synchronous motor. If the excitation exceeds this limit, the motor falls out of step. 1.2 Condition for Excitation When Motor Develops ( P m ) R max        Let us find excitation condition for maximum power developed. The excitation

Effect of Slip on Rotor Parameters : Part2

Effect of Slip on Rotor Parameters 2. Effect of Slip on Magnitude of Rotor Induced E.M.F        We have seen that when rotor is standstill, s  = 1, relative speed is maximum and maximum e.m.f. gets induced in the rotor. Let this e.m.f. be,                 E 2 = Rotor induced e.m.f. per phase on standstill condition         As rotor gains speed, the relative speed between rotor and rotating magnetic field decreases and hence induced e.m.f. in rotor also decreases as it is proportional to the relative speed N s - N. Let this e.m.f. be,                E 2r = Rotor induced e.m.f. per phase in running condition  Now        E 2r α N s while E 2r α N s - N        Dividing the two proportionality equations,               E 2r /E 2 = ( N s - N)/N s    but (N s - N)/N = slip s               E 2r /E 2 = s               E 2r = s E 2        The magnitude of the induced e.m.f in the rotor also reduces by slip times the
