SECTION-B
2. Explain the principle of operation of three phase induction motor.
3. Derive the expression for slip under maximum torque condition and also find the
expression for the maximum torque.
4. Explain the principle of operation of self-excited induction generator. Under what
condition will this generator may fail to build up.

SECTION-C
7. An induction motor has an efficiency of 0.9 when delivering an output of 37kW. At this
load, the stator copper loss and rotor copper loss each equals the iron loss. The
mechanical losses are one-third of the no-load loss. Calculate the slip.
8. A star-connected cage induction motor has the following data :
R
s
= 2 ?, R
r
' = 2 ?, X
s
= X
r
? = 3 ? ?
Calculate starting torque and starting current of this motor at 10 Hz and 50 Hz for V/f
control.
9. The constants of a 0.25 HP, 230 V, 4-pole, 60 Hz, single phase induction motor are as
follows
R
1
= 10 ? ?, R
2
= 11.65 ? ?, X
1
= 12.8 ? X
2
' = 12.8 ? and X
m
= 258 ?
The total load is such that the machine runs at 3% slip, when the applied voltage is
210 V. The iron losses are 35.5 W at 210 V. Determine :
a) Input current
b) Power factor
c) Developed power
d) Output power
e) Efficiency.
