Submission details: You may complete your answers by using a word -processed document or as handwritten sheets (no preference or differential marks for submitting either), as long as you provide a detailed solution showing the individual steps and justification to reach your results. Please save or scan these respectively into a PDF file and submit this via the BlackBoard (BB) site in the ‘Assignment 202 2/23’ folder. Please do not zip your PDF file . Grades and feedback will be released 4 –5 weeks after the deadline. The questions in Part I contain data which are shown in RED CAPITAL TEXT , which is specific to each candidate. You can find the particular data for you to use in each question in Appendix A of this problem sheet.
Part I: Semester 1 (score 50) Introductory notes: This assignment contains several elements that have not been explicitly covered in the lecture notes. These, quite deliberately, require you to access manufacturer datasheets or research other source s of information in order to complete the question (s). This additional material is not examinable in the main examination – only material covered in the Lecture s, Tutorials, Slides, and Lecture Notes is game for an exam question. You should provide all workings and explanations in your solutions – these will variously count towards achieving full marks in a particular question. Answer all questions .
QUESTION 1
A three -phase induction machine is designed to operate at a near constant speed for the compressor of an environmental control system of an aircraft. The power system to which it is connected is a standard 400Hz, 115 Vrms (phase voltage) sinusoidal AC supp ly. The nominal speed for the compressor is NOM INAL _SPEED (i.e. the synchronous speed with zero slip). During manufacture, the stator resistance is measured to be R1. During a locked -rotor test at 400Hz after assembly , the measured input power per phase is LR_INPUT_POWER and the measured phase current is LR_CURRENT 2 when operated at standstill with a reduced stator voltage of LR_VOLTAGE . The machine as a core loss at 3% slip of CORE_LOSS . The magnetising reactance, 𝑋𝑚, is j30. a) Calculate the number of poles for the design to achieve the specified nominal speed. [4] b) Using the full approximate equivalent circuit, c alculate the torque produced by the machine for a slip of 3%. [8]
c) Calculate the total input current at this operating point. [8]
d) Calculate the efficiency at this operating point. [5]
QUESTION 2 A permanent magnet brushed DC machine is used to drive a geared mechanism in an aerospace valve actuator. The machine in an aerospace grade brushed DC motor manufactured by Maxon (www.maxonmotor.com ). The motor is part of their RE Programme range of high performance machines as has part number DC_PART_NO . The specification for this machine contains all the information you need to answer these questions (take care over units). a) Calculate the total friction and drag torque at the no -load sp eed (i.e. when there is no external load applied to the machine). [5] b) Starting from th e equivalent circuit parameters, calculate the no -load speed taking into account the friction and drag torque calculated in part (a) and compare this with the value i n the specification sheet. [5] c) Plot the torque (y -axis) versus speed (x -axis) characteristic for this machine design at its nominal voltage, taking care to include calculations of any key operating points (Note this will not match exactly the experimental measurements in the published specification, but should be a value close to it). [10] d) Using the value of the maximum continuous current for the machine (also referred to as the nominal current in the specification sheet), calculate the mac hine torque and speed when drawing this current. [5]
3 Part II: Semester 2 (score 50) Introductory notes: The following questions contain elements that were studied in Lecture 8. Elements such as motor equations (torque and p ower ) have been also studied in Semester 1. Additional effort is required to solve steady -state equations. We encourage you to use Wolfram Mathematica to facilitate your analysis, whose license is available for students, in such case please upload your own Math ematica notebook alongside your word -processed or hand -written notes. Consider the DC Motor control set -up in Fig. 1.

1) Considering bipolar switching, compute the average value of the voltage across the terminals of the DC motor as a function of the duty cycle 𝑉𝑜(𝐷). Justify your answer using a diagram of the circuit and the step -by-step averaging procedure. [5] 2) Compute the total electromagnetic torque 𝑇𝑒 and the rotor speed 𝜔 when the duty cycle is equal to 0. 8 in the following three cases. a) The separately excited connection in Fig. 2.
