lesson 4 Three-Phase Motors

        Help!  

Question
Answer
true/false Three-phase motors typically cost more to operate per horsepower than single-phase motors or DC motors.   show
🗑
If the total number of coils wound in a 3-phase stator is 24, then each phase contains ? sets of coils.   show
🗑
show motor shaft  
🗑
true/false It takes 360 electrical degrees, or one electrical cycle, to complete one revolution in a 2-pole motor.   show
🗑
show 1800 rpm  
🗑
show Inductive reactance  
🗑
show direction of rotation  
🗑
? is the torque required to produce the rated power at full speed of the motor.   show
🗑
Torque is usually measured in ? .   show
🗑
show watt (W)  
🗑
show Locked-rotor torque  
🗑
Motor power is rated in ? or ? .   show
🗑
show false These types of loads are hard to accelerate and decelerate, even with a motor that has sufficient torque to drive the load at full speed.  
🗑
When the speed of a motor changes, the horsepower and torque required at the new speed may be ? .   show
🗑
? loads require increase in torque and horsepower with an increase in speed.   show
🗑
? loads require a constant torque output at different speeds.   show
🗑
true/false With a variable-torque load, the horsepower varies with the square of the speed of change.   show
🗑
show true power  
🗑
show VA or kVA  
🗑
What is the power factor on a 480-volt, 60-horsepower, 3-phase motor with an efficiency of 85% when the full load current is 70 amperes?   show
🗑
true/false A low power factor indicates that the circuit is drawing more current than is required by the load; utility companies penalize customers with low power factors.   show
🗑
show Motor efficiency  
🗑
show Flux-linkage loss  
🗑
true/false Flux-linkage loss is energy lost by blowing air past a motor to remove heat.   show
🗑
show 4.9 A (73.8+68.5+64.4)/3=avg 73.8- avg=4.9  
🗑
A motor operates with Phase A = 73.8 amperes, Phase B = 68.5 amperes, and Phase C = 64.4 amperes. Motors should not be operated above a 10% current unbalance. Calculate the maximum percentage phase unbalance for this motor.   show
🗑
true/false A motor with an 8.3% current unbalance can be operated, but with caution to avoid overheating the motor.   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
