A 400 V 3-phase mesh connected synchronous motor runs at rated voltage...
Calculation of Power Factor
To calculate the power factor, we need to find the total impedance of the motor. The synchronous impedance per phase is given as 0.5+j4 ohm. Since it is a 3-phase motor, the total impedance will be three times the synchronous impedance.
Z = 3 * (0.5+j4) = 1.5+j12 ohm
The power factor can be calculated using the formula:
power factor = cos(θ) = Re(Z) / |Z|
where Re(Z) is the real part of the impedance and |Z| is the magnitude of the impedance.
Re(Z) = 1.5 ohm
|Z| = sqrt((1.5)^2 + (12)^2) = sqrt(226.5) ohm
power factor = 1.5 / sqrt(226.5) = 0.099
Calculation of Current
The current flowing through the motor is given by the formula:
I = V / Z
where V is the rated voltage and Z is the total impedance.
I = 400 V / (1.5+j12) ohm
To simplify the calculation, we can convert the impedance to polar form:
Z = sqrt((1.5)^2 + (12)^2) * e^(arctan(12/1.5))
I = 400 V / (sqrt(226.5) * e^(arctan(12/1.5)))
I = 400 / (sqrt(226.5) * e^(arctan(8)))
Now, we can calculate the magnitude and angle of the current:
|I| = 400 / (sqrt(226.5)) = 26.25 A
θ = arctan(8) = 80.54 degrees
Calculation of Active Power
The active power can be calculated using the formula:
P = 3 * |I|^2 * Re(Z) * power factor
P = 3 * (26.25)^2 * 1.5 * 0.099 = 4357.22 W
Calculation of Reactive Power
The reactive power can be calculated using the formula:
Q = 3 * |I|^2 * Re(Z) * sqrt(1 - power factor^2)
Q = 3 * (26.25)^2 * 1.5 * sqrt(1 - 0.099^2) = 12425.62 VAR
Calculation of Apparent Power
The apparent power can be calculated using the formula:
S = sqrt(P^2 + Q^2)
S = sqrt((4357.22)^2 + (12425.62)^2) = 13100.49 VA
Calculation of Power Factor Angle
The power factor angle can be calculated using the formula:
θ = arccos(power factor)
θ = arccos(0.099) = 84.12 degrees
Conclusion
- The power factor of the motor is 0.099, which indicates a lagging power factor.
- The current flowing through the motor is 26.25 A with an angle of 80.54 degrees.
- The active power consumed by the motor is 4357.22
