If a 415 V, 50 Hz, star-connected, three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor is operated from a 415 V, 70 Hz supply, the torque that the motor can now provide while drawing rated current from the supply
remains the same
increases
increases or reduces depending upon the rotor resistance
The magnitude of earth fault current for a given fault position within a winding demands upon the winding connections and method of neutral grounding. Earth fault protection for an electric motor is provide by instantaneous relay having a setting of approximately 30% of motor rated current in the residual circuits of two CTs and with ground wire.
The methods often employed in practice to improve system stability are: 1. Increasing System Voltage 2. Reduction in Transfer Reactance 3. Using High Speed Circuit Breaker 4. Automatic Reclosing 5. Transient Stability 6. Turbine Fast Valving 7. Application of Braking Resistors 8. Single Pole Switching:
