Question Details:
Hey, just a quick question.

Theres 2 questions here;

A 75-kW, 3-phase, 440-V (line to line), 4-pole, 60 Hz Y-connected
induction motor. Given that, stator iron loss is 2kW, windage and friction losses
are 1.2kW and resistance between two stator terminals = 0.4W, for slip s=0.05,
mechanical power supplied to the load PL=41.5 kW and Motor efficiency h =82%;

Calculate: Line current drawn from the supply

Solution:
Pcu-stator=3.66kW=3I2Rs (note for Y connection IL=Iph; Rs=0.4/2)
⇒ I = 78A
and

A 75-kW, 3-phase, 440-V (line to line), 4-pole, 50 Hz Y-connected induction motor. Given that, stator iron loss is 2kW, windage and friction losses are 1.2kW and the per phase resistance of stator winding = 0.18W, for slip s=0.05, mechanical power supplied to the load PL=41.5 kW and Motor efficiency =83%; Calculate:



Calculate: Line current drawn from the supply

Solution: Pcu-stator=3.05kW=3I2Rs (note for Y connection IL=Iph; Rs=0.18)
⇒ I = 75.15A



So my questions is: "Why do you divide Rs by 2, for the first question, and not the second questoin" Thats all, please help, thanks :)

Response Details:
You can see that in the first question, it is given that resistance between two stator terminals = 0.4
hence the per phase resistance of the stator is, 0.4 / 2
For the second question, it is given that, per phase resistance of stator winding = 0.18
hence the per phase resistance of the stator is, 0.18
Hope this helps you......!
