Induction Motor MCQ Part 4

Electrical Engineering MCQ on Induction Motor.

What is the approximate efficiency of a 3 phase, 4, 60 Hz induction motor running at an RPM 1200

What is the approximate efficiency of a 3 phase, 4, 60 Hz induction motor running at an RPM 1200:

50%
66.66%
78.98%
86%

Correct answer: 2. 66.67%

Solution:

Solution: Ns = 120*f/P = 1800

s = (Ns – N)/Ns = 0.33

Approximate efficiency = 1 – s = 1 – 0.33 = 0.66 = 66.66%

A voltmeter gives 180 oscillations per minute when connected to the rotor of the induction motor. Calculate the slip if the supply frequency is 60 Hz

A voltmeter gives 180 oscillations per minute when connected to the rotor of the induction motor. Calculate the slip if the supply frequency is 60 Hz:

Correct answer: 2. 5%

Solution:

f’ = 180/60 = 3

s = f’/f = 3/60 = 0.05 = 5%
