Chapter 6: Synchronous Motors
6-1.
A 480-V, 60 Hz, four-pole synchronous motor draws 50 A from
the
line
at
unity
power
factor
and
full
load.
Assuming that the
motor is lossless, answer the following questions:
(a)
What
is the output
torque of this motor? Express the answer
both in newton-meters
and in pound-feet.
(b)
What
must
be done to change the power factor to 0.8 leading? Explain your answer, using phasor
diagrams.
(c)
What
will the magnitude of the line current be
if the power factor is adjusted
to 0.8
leading?

To
change the motor’s power factor
to 0.8 leading, its
field current must be increased. Since the
power supplied to the load is independent of the field current level, an
increase
in
field
current
increases
A
E
while keeping the
distance

This increase in
E
A
changes the angle
of

,
eventually causing it
to reach a power factor
of 0.8
leading.
