A 480V 60Hz, 6 pole motor draws 50A from the line at unity power factor and full
load. Assuming that the losses are negligible, calculate:
a) The output torque
b) The magnitude of the line current if the power factor is adjusted to 0.8
leading.

A 480V, 400 hp, 60Hz, 8 pole, -connected synchronous motor has a per phase
synchronous reactance of 1 and negligible armature resistance. If the friction,
windage and core losses are negligible, calculate the magnitude of Ea and Ia at
0.85 pf lagging. What is the torque produced?

A 2300 V, 100hp, 60Hz 8 pole Y-connected synchronous motor has a rated power
factor of 0.85 leading. At full load, the efficiency is 85%. The armature resistance is
1.1 /phase and the synchronous reactance is 20/phase. Find the following
quantities at full load:
a) Output torque
b) Input power
c) EA
d) Ia (armature current)
