 If a 3 phase 4-pole 50 HZ induction motor runs at a speed of 144 rpm then the slip is
Answer: ns= 120 f / p
ns = 120*50/4 = 1500 rpm
S= ns – nr / ns = (1500 – 1400)/1500 = 0.04

 In an induction motor if the phase sequence of applied voltage is changed
Answer: Direction of rotation of motor will change
 A 3 phase 440 V ,50 Hz induction motor has 4% slip the frequency of rotor current will be
Answer: Fr= S fBR = 0.04 * 50 = 2 HZ
 The direction of rotation of 3 phase induction motor is clock wise when it is supplied with the
3 phase sinusoid voltage having phase sequence of A-B-C for counter clock wise rotation , the
phase sequence of the power supply should be
Answer: A-C-B
 In three phase squirrel cage induction motor
Answer: Rotor conductors are short circuited through end rings
 The number of slip rings on a squirrel cage induction motor is usually
Answer: none
 At standstill condition the value of slip
Answer: 1 •nr= 0 •n=ns – nr / ns
 A 4 pole 50 HZ induction motor is running at 1300 rpm find the speed of the stator magnetic
field with respect to the rotor
Answer: ns=120*f/p=120*50/4=1500 rpm
•Ns with respect to rotor = 1500-1300=200
 If the shaft load increase the rotor speed will ……., then the slip will……
Answer: decrease – increase
 If the pull up torque is ….. the load torque on the shaft , the motor will not accelerate last the
pull-up point
Answer: less than
 The motor will not start if
Answer: 1- The load torque on the shaft is equal to the locked rotor torque
2- The load Torque on the shaft is exceeds the locked rotor torque
 Why it is impossible for an induction motor to operate at synchronous speed
Answer: because rotation at synchronous speed would result in no induced rotor current as
there will be no difference between the synchronous speed and rotor speed so the slip will be
zero hence no torque will be developed and the rotor will slow down as the torque developed
In the rotor is proportional to the slip.
 State two reasons for skewing rotor slots
Answer: it helps avid crawling (locking in at sub synchronous speed) and reduces vibration
 Explain briefly two methods to change the synchronous speed of 3 phase induction motor
Answer: The synchronous speed of an induction motor operating from a fixed frequency
system can be changed by changing the number of poles in the stator or by using a frequency
converter to change the frequency or both
Ns = 120*f / p
 Differentiate between synchronous speed , rotor speed and slip
Answer: 1- Synchronous speed: the speed of the rotating magnetic field in the stator winding
of the three phase induction motor
Ns = 120*f / p
2- Rotor speed: the rate speed at which the induction motor runs
Nr=Ns (1-S)
3-Slip: The ratio of the slip speed to synchronous speed where the slip speed is the
difference between the speed of rotating flux and the speed of rotor
S=n s-nr/ns
