Question

1. What are the three main advantages of three-phase wound-rotor induction machines over three-phase squirrel-cage induction machines? 2. What is the primary difference between the main components of squirrel- cage rotors (i.e., the conducting bars) and the main components of wound rotors (i.e., the windings)? 3. What is the effect of short-circuiting the rotor windings of a three-phase wound-rotor induction machine on the machine operation? 4. What happens to the active power P of a three-phase wound-rotor induction machine whose rotor windings are short-circuited as the machine mechanical power PM increases? 5. What happens to the reactive power Q of a three-phase wound-rotor induction machine whose rotor windings are short-circuited as the machine mechanical power PM increases?
