a) A 460-V, 25-hp, 60Hz, four-pole, Y-connected induction motor has the following impedances
in ohms per phase referred to the stator circuit: R1 = 0.6 R2 = 0.32 X1 =1.10 X2 = 0.46

 XM = 26.3 The total rotational losses are 1100 W and are assumed to be constant. The core
loss is lumped in with the rotational losses. Rotor slip is 2% at the rated voltage and rated
frequency. By using Matlab, calculate and plot the torque speed characteristics of this motor both
with the original rotor resistance, with rotor resistance = 0.5 and with rotor resistance = 0.7 .
Analyse the results in terms of the magnitude of the pull-out torque.
