Determining Input and Output Power

03/01/2010 12:57 AM

A three phase, six pole induction motor when connected to a 400v, 50 Hz supply runs at full load with a speed of 960rpm and draws 22a from the supply at a power factor if 0.88. If the motor has a efficiency of 90%, determine the input/output power

I am looking for help to better understand my matsh in my electrical course. The tafe lecturere is no good and I'm having trouble with some of these questions. I am hoping it will be explined in simple terms which will allow me to then practise on the many other questions I have to fill out. This is just one example of them.

Allyrat,

Saying your TAFE lecturer is no-good is a cop-out.

The reason that certain text books are recommended is that thay explain the same thing as your teach but in different ways, based on your question you are probably in Australia.

Get the text books, work them through and if you are still having problems, go to a tutorial class.

In regards to the question, by now you should know how to get the power in figure based on the information provided in your question.

The output is a percentage of the input which is provided.

Now grab your calculator an go to it. This is basic stuff which you should already know to have got this far, think back past the beer to last year.

I did this module last year and it is mostly revision on year 1&2.

Regards,
Sapper.

Is it possible to download some lecture notes? There is a lot of lecture notes/ material on the internet, you can print them also.
