12. A 480-V, 60-Hz, 50-hp, three-phase induction motor is drawing 60 A at 0.85 PF lagging. The stator copper losses are 2 kW, and the rotor copper losses are 700 W. The friction and windage losses are 600 W, the core losses are 1800 W and the stray losses are negligible. Find the following quantities: (a) The air-gap power P_AG (b) The power converted P_coav  (c) The output power P_out (d) The efficiency of the motor.

Maximum Power Transfer Theorem :

In electrical engineering, the maximum power transfer theorem states that, to obtain maximum external power from a power source with internal resistance, the resistance of the load must equal the resistance of the source as viewed from its output terminals.

For t<0, the switch is closed.

Capacitor acts as open to DC.

Voltage across the capacitor,

     v(0^-)= {(12||4)×V}÷{(12||4)+6} = 8VFor t=0, the switch is opened,Voltage across the Capacitor cannot change instantaneously,So, v(0^-)= v(0) = 8VAt t>0, The capacitor is discharging.R_th = (12||4) = 3 ohmC= 1/6 FTime constant, Π = R_th×C = 0.5 So, v(t) = v(0)e^-t/Π  = 8e^-t/0.5 =8e^-2t V (Ans.)
