lesson 4 Three-Phase Motors

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
true/false Three-phase motors typically cost more to operate per horsepower than single-phase motors or DC motors.   show
🗑
show 8 each phase must have the same number of coils, so the total number of coils must be divisible by the number 3.  
🗑
The ? is a cylindrical bar used to carry the revolving rotor and to transfer power from the motor to the load.   show
🗑
true/false It takes 360 electrical degrees, or one electrical cycle, to complete one revolution in a 2-pole motor.   show
🗑
The synchronous speed of a 60-hertz, 4-pole motor is ? .   show
🗑
show Inductive reactance  
🗑
The ? of 3-phase motors can be reversed by interchanging any two of the 3-phase power lines to the motor.   show
🗑
show Full-load torque  
🗑
show pound-feet (lb-ft)  
🗑
A(n) ? is the base unit of electrical power.   show
🗑
show Locked-rotor torque  
🗑
Motor power is rated in ? or ? .   show
🗑
true/false High-inertia loads are always easy to accelerate and decelerate with a motor that has sufficient torque to drive the load at full speed.   show
🗑
show higher, lower, or the same  
🗑
? loads require increase in torque and horsepower with an increase in speed.   show
🗑
show Constant-torque  
🗑
show false horsepower varies with the cube of the speed change  
🗑
show true power  
🗑
Apparent power is measured in ? or ? .   show
🗑
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
🗑
? is calculated by dividing output power by input power.   show
🗑
? is the loss of flux in the air gap between the stator and rotor because the air gap has increased reluctance compared to the cores.   show
🗑
true/false Flux-linkage loss is energy lost by blowing air past a motor to remove heat.   show
🗑
A motor operates with the following phase currents: Phase A = 73.8 amperes, Phase B = 68.5 amperes, and Phase C = 64.4 amperes. What is the maximum current difference from the average? (Round the FINAL answer to one decimal place.)   show
🗑
show 6.64% 4.9/73.8 X 100= 6.64  
🗑
show true  
🗑
