Problem #5
Answer the following questions about the motor in problem 4.
a. If the motor is started from a 460-V source, how much current will flow in the
motor at starting?
b. If transmission line with an impedance of 0.35+j0.25 Ohms per phase is used to
connect the induction motor to the source, what will the starting current of the
motor be? What will the motors terminal voltage be on starting?
c. If an ideal 1.4:1 ste p- down autotr a n s for m e r is conn e c t e d
