EQUIVALENT REACTANCE

MAGNETIC LEAKAGE

Till now we have assumed that all the flux linked with the primary also links with the secondary. But in practice, the permeability of the core of the transformer is finite. All the flux linked with the primary do not link with the secondary. As shown in Figure 1.29(a), Φ_L1 and Φ_L2 induce emf e_L1 and e_L2 in primary and secondary windings respectively. Therefore, in effect, we can consider it as an equivalent inductive coil in phase with the winding shown in Figure 1.29(b).

EQUIVALENT REACTANCE

If X₂ be transferred to primary, let its referred value be X₂^′. We have

I₂²X₂=I₁²X₂^′

i.e.,

If X₁ be transferred to secondary, let the referred value be X₁^′ We have

I₁²X₁=I₂²X₁^′

i.e.,

The total reactance referred to as primary (X₀₁) is X_l + a²X₂ and that of referred to as secondary (X₀₂) is X₂+

. The total reactance is known as equivalent reactance. It is denoted by

X₀₁=X₁+a²X₂ (1.18)

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

Electrical Engineering interview questions and answers Part 17

Why star delta starter is preferred with induction motor? Star delta starter is preferred with induction motor due to following reasons: • Starting current is reduced 3-4 times of the direct current due to which voltage drops and hence it causes less losses. • Star delta starter circuit comes in circuit first during starting of motor, which reduces voltage 3 times, that is why current also reduces up to 3 times and hence less motor burning is caused. • In addition, starting torque is increased and it prevents the damage of motor winding. State the difference between generator and alternator Generator and alternator are two devices, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Both have the same principle of electromagnetic induction, the only difference is that their construction. Generator persists stationary magnetic field and rotating conductor
