Exam Question
(a) List the factors that determine the starting torque of the three-phase induction motor. How does this torque generally compare with the value of the rated torque?
(b) A three-phase induction motor is wound for four poles and is supplied from a 50 Hz system. Calculate:
(i) The synchronous speed.
(ii) The speed of the rotor when the slip is 4 per cent.
(iii) The rotor frequency when the speed of the rotor is 600 r/min.
