A three-phase, $50 \mathrm{hp}, 440 \mathrm{~V}$, four-pole, $60 \mathrm{~Hz}$ induction motor has a stator resistance of $0.05 \Omega$, a rotor resistance of $0.072 \Omega$, and a combined $\left(X_1+X_2\right)$ reactance of $0.06 \Omega$. Find the horsepower and output torque for a speed of $1746 \mathrm{rpm}$.

Key Concepts

Power, Horsepower, and Torque Relationship

Mechanical power in rotating machines is quantified using horsepower and is directly related to torque and rotational speed. This relationship is typically expressed by converting horsepower into torque using the motor's operational speed, reflecting how effectively the motor converts electrical input into useful mechanical output.

Electrical Parameters (Resistance and Reactance)

The resistance and reactance values provided for the stator and rotor windings represent the motor's inherent electrical characteristics. These parameters impact the motor's impedance, affecting current flow, voltage drops, and ultimately the efficiency and torque production during motor operation.

Three-Phase Induction Motor

A type of electric motor in which power is supplied through a three-phase AC system, allowing for the creation of a rotating magnetic field that induces current in the rotor, resulting in motion. Its construction and operation involve interactions among the stator windings, rotor, and air gap, which determine performance characteristics such as starting torque, efficiency, and slip.

Synchronous Speed and Slip

Synchronous speed is the ideal rotational speed of the motor's magnetic field, determined by the supply frequency and the number of poles, while slip is the difference between synchronous speed and the actual rotor speed. Slip is crucial for torque generation in induction motors, as it indicates the relative speed between the rotating field and the rotor, influencing the conversion of electrical power into mechanical power.
