7. Summary

 Number of stator slots must be properly selected at the design stage as such this number
affects the weight, cost and operating characteristics of the motor.
 As there are no rules for selecting the number of stator slots, the advantages and
disadvantages of selecting higher number slots help to serve as guidelines in the
selection.
 Following are the advantages and disadvantages of selecting higher number of slots.

Advantages :

(i) Reduced leakage reactance.

(ii) Reduced tooth pulsation losses.
(iii) Higher over load capacity.

Disadvantages:

(i)Increased cost
(ii) Increased weight
(iii) Increased magnetizing current
(iv) Increased iron losses
(v) Poor cooling
(vi) Increased temperature rise
