ACTIVITY 4: The Wound Rotor Induction Motor
Name: Kenneth T. Kilakiga
Date: June 16, 2021
1. Knowing that the voltage induced in the rotor winding is zero
when it is turning at synchronous speed, what is the
synchronous speed of your motor? (5 points)
Synchronous speed = 1500 rpm
2. Knowing that the equation for synchronous speed is Ns = 120f/
P where:
Ns = synchronous speed (rpm)
f = power line frequency (Hz)
P = number of stator poles
Determine the number of poles in your motor. Show complete
solution. (10 points)
Solution:
120𝑓
𝑁𝑠 =
𝑃
Given: f= 60 Hz, Ns = 1500 rpm
120𝑓 120(60)
𝑃= =
𝑁𝑠 1500
𝑷 = 𝟒. 𝟖 ≅ 𝟒 𝑷𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒔

3. Calculate the rotor slip (in rpm) in procedures 6, 8, 9,

10, and 11. (25 points)
(Slip in rpm = synchronous speed – rotor speed)

Procedure 6:
(DC Motor is not turned on, hence rotor velocity = 0)
Slip in rpm = 1500 rpm – 0 rpm
Slip in rpm = 1500 rpm
 Procedure 8:
Slip in rpm = 1500 rpm – 900 rpm
Slip in rpm = 600 rpm

Procedure 9:
Slip in rpm = 1500 rpm – 1800 rpm
Slip in rpm = -300 rpm

Procedure 10:
Slip in rpm = 1500 rpm - 900 rpm
Slip in rpm = 600 rpm

Procedure 11:
Slip in rpm = 1500 rpm – 1800 rpm
Slip in rpm = -300 rpm

4. Calculate the percent slip in procedures 6, 8, 9, 10, and

11. (25 points)
Slip in rpm = Synchronous Speed – Rotor Speed

5. How much power is needed to produce the magnetic field in

your motor? Show your complete solution. (10 points)

𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 = 𝑐𝑜𝑠 ∅ = =
𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 176.8 𝑉𝐴
𝑐𝑜𝑠 ∅ = 0.3394 𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑖𝑛 ∅ = 0.9406
∴ 𝑉 × 𝐼 × 𝑠𝑖𝑛 ∅
 208 𝑉 × 0.85 𝐴 × 0.9406 = 𝟏𝟔𝟔. 𝟐𝟗𝟖𝟏 𝑽𝑨𝑹

6. How much power is needed to supply the losses associated

with the production of the magnetic field? Show your
complete solution. (10 points)

𝑉𝐼 = (𝐸1)(𝐸2) = (211𝑉)(0.82𝐴) = 173.02 𝑊

𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 60
𝑐𝑜𝑠 ∅ = = = 0.34678
𝐴𝑝𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 173.02

(𝑉𝐼)𝑐𝑜𝑠∅ = (173.02𝑊)(0.34678) = 60 𝑊

7. Plot the rotor speed versus rotor voltage. Show answer in a

graph. (15 points)
