What happens if a three phase induction motor is suddenly
single-phased while running? Which type of winding
connection will be affected?

Answer Posted / derek

Answer 9 is best so far. Normal cause is undervoltage (brownout) causing contactor to partially drop out and contacts weld. Often nothing happens until motor is stopped but welded contact lets current flow and then motor burns (if motor lightly loaded). We are all assuming that problem starts outside the motor. It also happens that an open circuit happens in the motor and then the other two phases burn.

A 400 V, 50 Hz, Δ connected synchronous generator has a field reactance of 0.1 Ω and armature resistance of 0.015 Ω. At full load, the machine supplies 1200 A at 0.8 pf lagging. Under full-load conditions, the friction and windage losses are 40 KW and the core losses are 30 KW. What is the machine’s overall efficiency? Ignore any field circuit losses.
