    Complex Imaginary Test 4 Problem 29

    I think complex imaginary have this answer wrong. At first they have P=(SQ3) (460) (96) (.95) = 72.7 KW Then an errata goes out on this problem saying. P = (3) (460) (96) (.95) = 125.9 KW Now this is how I resolve this problem i assume this motor is a 3-phase motor: Let me know what you...

    Complex Imaginary Test 2 Problem 51

    In this problem the voltage of the generator was not given. The way the problem was made makes it a very lonnngg problem... In the solutions they didn't count the Voltage drop in the line to get the output voltage of the generator which i think that to get the accurate generator voltage the...

    Complex Imaginary Test 2 Problem 1

    Does any one think about this while working on this problem? Starting toque = 5500 ft lb this exceeds full load torque by 22% Isn't full load torque = 5500 (.78)=4290 ft lb? Book have (5500/1.22)=4508 ft lb. I'm I forgetting how % works?

    Complex Imaginary Test 2 Problem 24

    This problem is very similar to the NCEES problem 129. The errata for this problem clarify something that I think still is wrong because they forgot to multiply by square root of 3. I provide 2 methods to solve this problem. One is the Complex imaginary method the way i think it is supposed...

    Complex Imaginary Test 1 Problem 76

    This problem ask for voltage drop at point A. On this problem I assumed that the XL is inductive since is a line....now the problem treat Xl as capacitive by adding the (-) sign for the imaginary component of the complex number. If it is capacitive i think that the problem shall specify that...

    Complex Imaginary Test 1 Problem 55

    In this problem i think there is something missing in this voltage regulation problem. a=n1/n2=(1/3) Vs = Vp x 3 = 159V.... the book have that the voltage is 150V ??!!?? I believe that the 159 is the Vs no load since it was calculated using voltage ratio and the No load Voltage on the...
