I have worked out what I think is the solution to a 3 phase induction motor problem but the stator core loss value obtained seems too high to be right. Please help. Question 3 is the one I need help with, the other questions have been given for background purposes. My attempts are attached.

A 3 phase 6 pole induction motor has a star connected stator with impedance (0.5+j2.5) while the rotor standstill impedance is (0.1 + j 0.6). The shunt impedance is 12+j61. If the supply voltage is 630V and the effective turns ratio is 2:1, calculate the ff at 965 rpm

1. Rotor impedance referred to the stator
2. Stator current and pf
3. Stator copper and iron loss

You might review the calculation of Z0. That value carries through and might affect the final answer, as I understand your notation.

As far as I know, Z0 represents the no load loss (hence the parallel branch) which is why I've calculated it the way I did. Kindly provide some insight as to what I need to review. Thanks

The calculation of R0||jX0 is incorrect, in particular the angle is only 2.3 degrees, not 11.1 degrees.
Since this is a parallel network, the impedance can be calculated as: Ro(jXo)÷(Ro + jXo). That's what I've done and I keep getting the same answer quoted above. Is my technique incorrect?

The numerical calculations shown appear to be numerically correct. The only question is in 3.3, where the radial magnitudes of V and I are used to calculate the corresponding power losses, rather than using the real part of those vectors.
