90 |
Question 2 Explanation:
Salient pole synchronous motor power and torque relations per phase:
P=\frac{E_bV}{X_t}\sin \delta +\frac{V^2}{2}\left ( \frac{X_d-X_q}{X_dX_q} \right ) \sin (2\delta ) \;Watts
T=\frac{60}{2 \pi N_S}\left [ \frac{E_bV}{X_d} \sin \delta + \frac{V^2}{2}\left ( \frac{X_d-X_q}{X_dX_q} \right ) \sin (2\delta ) \right ]\; N-m
The second term is reluctance power or reluctance torque, which is directly proportional to \sin 2\delta.
Therefore, reluctance torque will be maximum.
When, \delta =45^{\circ}
\because \;\;\sin2 (45^{\circ})\Rightarrow \sin 90^{\circ}=1 (Maximum)

P_{1} \gt 0,P_{2} \lt 0,P_{3} \gt 0 |
Question 8 Explanation:

V_2:\frac{\pi}{18}=\frac{180^{\circ}}{18}=10^{\circ}
V_3:\frac{\pi}{36}=\frac{180^{\circ}}{36}=5^{\circ}
