A single-phase motor is modeled as an R-L (resistive-inductive) series load. The motor is rated for 220V, 4A, and 0.5hp. (746W = 1 hp) Determine the value of capacitance in a capacitor placed in shunt (i.e., parallel) with the motor to minimize the current provided from the 220V source at rated conditions. Then determine the source current required to feed the combined load of the motor and capacitor.

Problem 2. A three phase transformer rated at 5 MVA, 115/13.2 kV has a per phase series impedance of 0.007 + j0.075 per unit (shunt parameters are ignored). The low voltage side is connected to a short distribution line which modeled by a series per phase impedance of 0.02 +j0.1 per unit on the base of 10 MVA. The line supplies a balanced three phase constant impedance load at 4 MVA, 13.2 kV with power factor of 0.85 lagging •...

Design of DC Motor Starter In order for a dc motor to function properly, it must be protected from physical damage during the starting period. At starting conditions, the motor is not rotating, and armature generated voltage EA = 0 V. Since the internal resistance of a normal DC motor is very low, a very high current flows. It is possible for a motor to be severely damaged by such currents, even if they last for only a moment. A...
