Special Electrical Machine

1. With neat sketch, explain the construction of double cage and deep bar induction
motor. (2016-17)
2. A three phase 400V double cage induction motor has per phase standstill leakage
impedance of (2 + 𝑗2.5)Ω and (0.5 + 𝑗10)Ω for its two cages. Find the relative
values of torques given by each cage. (2014-15)
(i) At starting
(ii) At 5% slip
3. A slip power converter is directly connected to a 3- phase 50 Hz wound rotor
induction motor having 6 pole. Induction motor is used to control the speed of a
load requiring torque proportional to the cube of its speed. if the speed is vary
between 60 to 600 rpm and load needs a power of 5KW at 600 rpm then determine
the power handled by the slip power converter in terms of slip when slip power
returned to the supply. Also determine the value of slip power and motor in put at
60 and 600 rpm and amount of maximum power that the slip power convertor can
carry. Neglect losses. (2017-18)
4. Explain the constant torque and constant power controls of slip ring induction
motor drives.
5. Explain the principle of slip control by slip frequency EMF injection in rotor circuit
with neat sketch. (2012-13)
6. Explain the principle of static Kramer system for constant power operation.
7. Explain the principle of static scherbius system for constant torque operation.
8. Explain equivalent circuit of double cage induction motor. A 3 phase,8 pole 50 Hz,
440 volt induction motor develop maximum torque at a slip of 8 %. In a particular
application, it runs at 3% slip at rated voltage, driving a load to stop demand is
proportional to square of speed. What is the maximum value to which the supply
voltage can drop, if the speed of the motor is not to decrease below 950 rpm?
Neglect stator impedance drop. (2017-18)
