26. Explain the principles of DC motors, including the DC permanent magnet motor and how it can
have speed control. (10 marks)
A 7460 W split-phase motor running at 1750 rpm is used to drive a rotary pump. The pump should run continuously at approximately 1175 rpm. The center distance should not exceed 1118 mm. Space limits the diameter of the driven pulley to 292 mm.
Determine:
a. the pulley diameters,
b. the belt size, and
c. the number of belt required.
A 50 Hz pump drive requires a torque of 70 Nm approx. at 1450 rpm approx. for 1 minute followed by 5 minutes running
unloaded. This cyclic pattern is repeated continuously. The motor is to be selected from a range of general-purpose motors
with continuous ratings of 2.2, 3, 4, 5.5, 7.5, 11, 15 and 20 kW. The motors have a pull-out torque of 200%.
1.
Select the pole number.
2.
Calculate the continuous power rating.
3.
4.
Calculate the required power rating given the pull out torque rating.
Estimate the slip when the motor drives the pump at the required speed.
Choose the motor from the range of options that is most fit for purpose.
5.
Enter your answers in the units indicated (without unit symbols) corrected if necessary to two decimal places.
