Chapter 36, Problem 1RQ
List five common starting methods for three-phase squirrel-cage motors.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The five common starting methods for three phase squirrel cage motors.
Explanation of Solution
Starters are used to limit the starting current for three phase squirrel cage induction motors. The most common starting methods for three phase squirrel cage motors are:
- 1. Across the line starting method
- 2. Resistor starting
- 3. Autotransformer starting
- 4. Y-delta starting
- 5. Part winding starting
Thus, the five common starting methods for three phase squirrel cage motors are listed.

- 1: Determine a suitable capacity of a continuous rated motor for the following duty cycle: 100 kW for 5 minute, 20 kW for 10 minutes, then remain 5 minute at no load, the duty cycle is repeated indefinitely. Draw the load cycle.arrow_forwardA 50 Hz pump drive requires a torque of 70 Nm approx. at 1450 rpm approx. for 1 minute followed by 5 minutes running unloaded. This cyclic pattern is repeated continuously. The motor is to be selected from a range of general-purpose motors with continuous ratings of 2.2, 3, 4, 5.5, 7.5, 11, 15 and 20 kW. The motors have a pull-out torque of 200%. 1. Select the pole number. 2. Calculate the continuous power rating. 3. 4. Calculate the required power rating given the pull out torque rating. Estimate the slip when the motor drives the pump at the required speed. Choose the motor from the range of options that is most fit for purpose. 5. Enter your answers in the units indicated (without unit symbols) corrected if necessary to two decimal places. Answer: Number of poles= ✓ Continuous power rating (kW)= Required power rating for 200% pull out torque (kW)= Percentage slip (%) = Most suitable motor from given range (kW)-arrow_forwardProblem 5 1.
