Why is it that variation allowed in supply voltage to
motors is (+ or -)10 %, whereas that in frequency is (+ or -
)5 %

Answer / gajendran.al
Variation in supply voltage to motor affects the torque
produced by the motor and is not affected much with +/- 10%
whereas variation in frequency affects the speed of the
motor. Even 1Hz variation could vary speed by 30 rpm for a
4 pole motor. So variation in frequency is not advisable in
motor
Pl note that increase in supply frequency makes the motor
rotate above rated speed which may cause mechanical failure
of motor.

For the motor we are not using ups power supply
In ups power supply, we can maintain the voltage as well as
frequency.
But we are using raw power for motors in plants.
Eg if I we are using some load. Now I getting 415 volts at
full load if I reduce some load any reasons then voltage
will lightly increase so voltage will not stay constant.
For that reasons operating voltage +/- 10 %

WHY THE SYNCHRORONOUS MOTOR IS NOT SELF STARTING, AND WHY THE STATOR AND ROTOR IS COUPLED?
A group of machines (wind turbines) connected with 33KV feeder and each machines are having individual VCB. The 33KV feeder connected with 110KV/33KV substation. The 33KV feeder tripped by over current at Substation and fault recorded at Substation as OC-R&Y phase. Same time the group of machines VCB tripped by over voltage, the fault recorded voltage was above 66KV by numerical Under/Over voltage relay. While grid drop time, this much of voltage hike is possible?
I am looking for LV CT test. To check the polarity of the CT only. Can you suggest any supplier. Different companies are offering CT/PT Tester which is expensive. Thanks
