The stator resistance 1.10. When 418V is applied to the mesh connected start winding, the voltage between any pair of open circuited slip rings to which the star connected rotor winding is connected to 239V. The motor develops full - load torque with a slip of 0.04 with the slip rings short circuited. Calculate the appropriate speed of the 0.5 per phase is connected in mpedan per phase i 8 machine if a 3 phase non ~ inductive resistor 0 series with the slip rings when full load torque is applied.
