Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A three-phase induction motor takes in 40 kW, has stator losses of 800 W, and core losses of 600 W. If it runs at 1200 RPM, calculate: synchronous speed, slip, air-gap power, rotor copper losses, and overall efficiency.

💡 Hint: Use previously discussed equations and details from the efficiency section.

Challenge 2 Hard

For a separately excited DC motor, if the armature current is 10 A and the supply voltage is 220 V, calculate the back EMF if the armature resistance is 1 Ω.

💡 Hint: Remember how back EMF functions in regulating current.
