Instructions:
Consider a 3-phase induction motor (wound) with the following specifications:
Question 1:
In Simulink, draw the diagram and display the following outputs for the No-Load test. (A block diagram in Simulink is required).
|
a) |
Display 3 phase input phase voltage waveforms (using scope) |
|
|
b) |
Display RMS value of the input current (using display block) |
|
|
c) |
Display Active and Reactive power (using display block) |
|
|
d) |
Display RMS voltage of just one phase (using display block) |
|
e) Display power factor (using display block) ()
|
Display rotor speed in rpm (using display block) |
|
|
|
g) |
Show the rotor speed graph in rpm |
|
|
h) |
Calculate the power factor based on your finding. |

Hint:

Note:
Power supply set up:
Induction motor set up:
Power factor calculation:
therefore cos ? = Pactive.

Question 2:
For the induction motor in Question 1, set up the blocked-rotor test (short circuit test). (The Simulink block diagram is required).
a) Display rotor speed (using display block).
b) Display real and reactive power (using display block).
d) Display blocked-rotor resistance( )
e)Take a screenshot Block-Parameters of the induction motor to confirm that the values of and that you found are approximately equal to Stator resistance + Rotor resistance
and Stator inductance + Rotor inductance.

Note:
• Consider the value of Tm=25 as Mechanical Load.
• Change the slip to "1".
• Change the inertia to "inf".
• Decrease the value of the input voltage to 60 V.
• To calculate the value of Rbr and Lbr, you need to create the following formulas in your
Simulink:
|
• Rbr = |
Pactive |
, Xbr = |
Qreactive |
, furthermore Xbr = Lbr? ? Lbr = |
Qreactive |
, so you need to |

create the following block diagrams to read the values:
Question 3:
The induction motor in question 1 has 2 pairs of poles. In the induction motor parameter, change the pair pole to 6, increase the stop time to 0.7s and run your simulation.
a) Show the rotor speed output (using scope and display)
b) Justify your observation using the appropriate formula.
Question 4:
We need a synchronous motor. Motor A will be used in a high-power low-speed application and Motor B will be used in a low-power high-speed application. What type of motor should be chosen for each application? Salient pole or cylindrical? Discuss your recommendation.
