MECH2320Chapter26Homework

True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
 

 1. 

In a wye connection, the line current and phase current are not the same.
 

 2. 

Dual voltage motors not intended for wye-delta connection will have certain terminals tied internally.
 

 3. 

Dual voltage motors designed for wye-delta starting will supply all 12 T leads at the terminal connection box.
 

 4. 

Closed transition starting does not disconnect the motor from the power line.
 

 5. 

Open transition starting means that the motor is connected to the power line during the transition from wye to delta.
 

Completion
Complete each statement.
 

 6. 

Wye-delta starting is sometimes called ____________________ starting.
 

 

 7. 

If the stator windings of a motor are connected in delta during the starting period, the starting current will be ____________________ times the value if the windings were connected in wye.
 

 

 8. 

If the stator windings are connected in ____________________, the voltage across each phase will be 480 volts because line voltage and phase voltage are the same in a(n) ____________________ connection.
 

 

 9. 

Wye-delta starting is often used with large horsepower motors to reduce in-rush current during the starting period and reduce starting ____________________.
 

 

 10. 

Motors that are intended to operate on two voltages such as 240 or 480 volts contain two separate ____________________ of each phase.
