 Introduction
• T Vs Slip
• Slip = Ns- Nr/Ns
• Slip Varies with Nr.
• Corresponding T varies.
• Three region of operation of the T Vs Slip
Low slip region.
Medium slip region.
High slip region.
• Motoring Mode
• Generating Mode
• Braking Mode
 Summary

• Torque – slip characteristics has two parts

1. Straight line called stable region of operation

2. Rectangular hyperbola called unstable region of operation.

• The three modes of operation are

• Motoring Mode - 0<s<1

• Generating Mode - s<0

• Braking Mode - s>1
