Question
Chapter 12, Problem 1RQ
To determine
The average amount of current flowing in two remaining phases.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The name plate current of three-phase motor is 56 A.
Calculation:
A failure phase occurs when power is lost from a three-phase motor power supply line. The motor is still running, but it draws excessive current. This phenomenon is known as Single phasing. Single phasing causes a current increase of 173% in average of both phases which remain energized in a three-phase motor.
Calculate the current flowing in two remaining phases:
Thus, the average amount of current flowing in two remaining phases is
