1. i. 20 Nm ii. 4.85 HP

2. 16.5 %

Explanation:

1) Determine the torque and the power developed at 4% slip when a reduced voltage of 340V is applied.

i. Torque

Since slip is constant at 4 %,torque, T ∝ V² where V = voltage

Now, T₂/T₁ = V₂²/V₁² where T₁ = torque at 690 V = P/2πN where P = power = 20 HP = 20 × 746 W = 14920 W, N = rotor speed = N'(1 - s) where s = slip = 4% = 0.04 and N' = synchronous speed = 120f/p where f = frequency = 60 Hz and p = number of poles = 4.

So, N' = 120 × 60/4 = 30 × 60 = 1800 rpm

So, N = N'(1 - s) = 1800 rpm(1 - 0.04) = 1800 rpm(0.96) = 1728 rpm = 1728/60 = 28.8 rps

So, T = P/2πN = 14920 W/(2π × 28.8rps) = 14920 W/180.96 = 82.45 Nm

T₂ = torque at 340 V, V₁ = 690 V and V₂ = 340 V

So, T₂/T₁ = V₂²/V₁²

T₂ = (V₂²/V₁²)T₁

T₂ = (V₂/V₁)²T₁

T₂ = (340 V/690 V)²82.45 Nm

T₂ = (0.4928)²82.45 Nm

T₂ = (0.2428)82.45 Nm

T₂ = 20.02 Nm

T₂ ≅ 20 Nm

ii. Power

P = 2πT₂N'

= 2π × 20 Nm × 28.8 rps

= 1152π W

= 3619.11 W

converting to HP

= 3619.11 W/746 W

= 4.85 HP

2) What must be the new slip for the motor to develop the same torque when the reduced voltage is applied

Since torque T ∝ sV² where s = slip and V = voltage,

T₂/T₁ = s₂V₂²/s₁V₁²

where T₁ = torque at slip, s₁ = 4% and voltage V₁ = 690 V and T₂ = torque at slip, s₂ = unknown and voltage V₂ = 340 V

If the torque is the same, T₁ = T₂ ⇒ T₂T₁ = 1

So,

T₂/T₁ = s₂V₂²/s₁V₁²

1 = s₂V₂²/s₁V₁²

s₂V₂² = s₁V₁²

s₂ = s₁V₁²/V₂²

s₂ = s₁(V₁/V₂)²

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

s₂ = s₁(V₁/V₂)²

s₂ = 4%(690/340)²

s₂ = 4%(2.0294)²

s₂ = 4%(4.119)

s₂ = 16.47 %

s₂ ≅ 16.5 %

d would be the most obvious choice to this question. leaders are supposed to herd their underlings like a shepherd to sheep. a leader should also listen to others when they are talking to one other to gain a better understanding of their mission and surroundings.
