Example 34.4. A 3-$\phi$ induction motor is wound for 4 poles and is supplied from 50-Hz system.
Calculate (i) the synchronous speed (ii) the rotor speed, when slip is 4% and (iii) rotor frequency
when rotor runs at 600 rpm.
(Electrical Engineering-1, Pune Univ. 1991)
Solution. (i)
$N_s = 120f/P = 120 \times 50/4 = 1500$ rpm
(ii) rotor speed,
$N = N_s(1-s) = 1500(1-0.04) = 1440$ rpm
