Study Notes
- These notes cover AC circuit calculations, transformer analysis, and transmission line design considerations.
AC Circuit Calculations
- Given a current i(t) = 237 cos(ωt + 75°) A, the maximum current (Imax) is 237 A.
- The RMS current (Irms) is calculated as Imax / √2, resulting in 167.6 A.
- In polar form, the current is represented as I = 167.6 ∠75° A.
- In rectangular form, the current is I = 43.4 + j161.9 A, where 43.4 is the real part and 161.9 is the imaginary part.
- Given a voltage v(t) = 321.7 cos(ωt + 25°) V, the maximum voltage (Vmax) is 321.7 V.
- The RMS voltage (Vrms) is calculated as Vmax / √2, resulting in 227.5 V.
- In polar form, the voltage is represented as V = 227.5 ∠25°.
- In rectangular form, the voltage is V = 206 + j96.1 V, where 206 is the real part and 96.1 is the imaginary part.
Impedance in Electrical Circuits
- In an electrical circuit, the imaginary part of the impedance is contributed by reactive components, specifically inductors and capacitors.
- These components introduce a phase shift between voltage and current.
- This phase shift leads to the imaginary part of the total impedance.
Motor and Generator System Analysis
- A 4500kW, 350V variable-speed motor is powered by a 1500kW generator using a Ward-Leonard control system.
- The combined resistance of the motor and generator armature circuit is 17mΩ.
- The motor operates at its nominal speed of 570 r/min when the output voltage, Eo = 1000V.
- With Es = 750V and Eo = 420V, the armature current (I) is calculated as (Es - Eo) / R = 19411.8 A.
- The power to the motor armature at Eo = 420V is P = Eo * I = 8152956 W.
- The motor speed at Eo = 420V is n = 684 r/min.
- The motor torque at Eo = 400V is T = 113.8 kN·m.
- With Es = 370V and Eo = 400V, the armature current (I) is -2941.2A, where the negative sign indicates the current direction.
- The power to the motor armature at Eo = 400V is P = 1235.3 kW.
- The motor speed at Eo = 420V is n = 684 r/min.
- The motor torque at Eo = 420V is T = 17.2 kNm.
Transformer Analysis
- The transformer is imperfect in its core.
- The ideal transformer circuit diagram includes an imperfect core, with parameters listed in a table.
- Given data for Transformer A: source voltage Vg = 120V, exciting current Io = 5A, and core loss power Pcore = 180W.
- The core resistance (Rm) of Transformer A is calculated as Vg^2 / Pcore = 80.0 Ω.
- The reactive power (Qm) of Transformer A is calculated as √(S^2 - Pcore^2) = 572.36 VAR.
- The magnetizing reactance (Xm) of Transformer A is calculated as Vg^2 / Qm = 25.16 Ω.
- The core losses current (If) is calculated as Vg / Rm = 1.5A.
- The magnetizing current (Im) is calculated as Vg / Xm = 4.77A.
- The total exciting current (Io) is verified as √(If^2 + Im^2) = 5 A.
- Given another transformer B with the same parameters as transformer A but with iron losses of 200W.
- The reactive power absorbed by the core of transformer B is lower than that of transformer A.
- Transformer B has higher iron losses (Pcore, B = 200W) than Transformer A (Pcore, A = 180W).
Aerial Transmission Line Design
- The local environment affects the line design and materials used, especially in areas prone to high winds or extreme temperatures.
- The transmission line should handle the required voltage and power capacity for the service area; higher voltage levels are used for long-distance transmission to minimize voltage drop and line losses.
- In areas prone to high winds or extreme temperatures, conductors need to be designed for additional mechanical stress and withstand thermal expansion without sagging excessively.
- The choice of conductor material affects the line's efficiency, durability, and cost; aluminum is commonly chosen for aerial transmission lines due to being lighter, less expensive, and having good conductivity.
- Steel-reinforced aluminum conductor (ACSR) is often used, which is strong enough for long spans.
