1. A 3-phase, slip-ring, induction motor with star-connected rotor has an induced e.m.f. of 120 volts

between slip-rings at standstill with normal voltage applied to the stator. The rotor winding has a

resistance per phase of 0.3 ohm and standstill leakage reactance per phase of 1.5 ohm.

Calculate (i) rotor current/phase when running short-circuited with 4 percent slip and (ii) the slip

and rotor current per phase when the rotor is developing maximum torque.

2. 3-phase, 400/200-V, Y-Y connected wound-rotor induction motor has 0.06 Ω rotor resistance and

0.3 Ω standstill reactance per phase. Find the additional resistance required in the rotor circuit to

make the starting torque equal to the maximum torque of the motor.

3. 3-phase, 50-Hz, 8-pole, induction motor has full-load slip of 2%. The rotor- resistance and stand

still rotor-reactance per phase are 0.001 ohm and 0.005 ohm respectively. Find the ratio of the

maximum to full-load torque and the speed at which the maximum torque occurs.

4. A 12-pole, 3-phase, 600-V, 50-Hz, star-connected, induction motor has rotor-resistance and stand-

still reactance of 0.03 and 0.5 ohm per phase respectively. Calculate: (a) Speed of maximum

torque. (b) Ratio of full-load torque to maximum torque, if the full-load speed is 495 rpm.

5. A 50-Hz, 8-pole induction motor has F.L. slip of 4%. The rotor resistance/phase = 0.01 ohm and

standstill reactance/phase = 0.1 ohm. Find the ratio of maximum to full-load torque and the speed

at which the maximum torque occurs.

standstill reactance/phase = 0.1 ohm. Find the ratio of maximum to full-load torque and the speed

speed at maximum torque.

8. A 3-phase induction motor having a 6-pole, star-connected stator winding runs on 240-V, 50-Hz

supply. The rotor resistance and standstill reactance are 0.12 ohm and 0.85 ohm per phase. The

ratio of stator to rotor turns is 1.8. Full load slip is 4%. Calculate the developed torque at full load,

maximum torque and speed at maximum torque.

9. A 4-pole, 50-Hz, 3- induction motor develops a maximum torque of 162.8 N-m at 1365 r.p.m.

The resistance of the star-connected rotor is 0.2 Ω/phase. Calculate the value of the resistance that

must be inserted in series with each rotor phase to produce a starting torque equal to half the

maximum torque.
