Engineering Induction Motor Problem, How to find Rc

[TheRedDevil18]

Homework Statement

A three phase 220 V , 60 Hz, six poles 10 hp induction motor has the following circuit. Parameters on a per basis referred to the stator:
Rs = 0.334 Ω,
R’R = 0.147 Ω,
Xs = 0.498 Ω
X’R = 0.224 Ω ,
Xm = 12.6 Ω
The rotational losses including the core losses amount to 262 W and may be assumed constant. For a slip of 2.8 % determine (a) The line current and the power factor (b) The shaft torque and output horsepower (c) The efficiency

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

To get the line current, I need the equivalent impedance. But how do I get Rc (core resistance) ?, Is their a way to get it or is it just neglected because it is very large ?

the core losses amount to 262 W and may be assumed constant.

You're wondering how to involve this detail in your calculations?

For question a), it says determine the line current, so IL = Vphase/Z, but they haven't given Rc. They also said that the core losses and rotational losses amount to 262W

Can you express these fixed losses as their equivalent in line current and then add that in after you have done the other calculations?

N.B., I'm not sure this is the accepted approach, but it seems a valid approximation.

Not sure how to do that, I have this equation

IL = Vphase/Zeq

Where Zeq would be the equivalent impedance of the circuit, but then I would have to neglect Rc

Once you have taken account of R_c losses separately, you can then neglect R_c in the equivalent circuit. Which equivalent circuit are you using?
