A three-phase, four-pole, $230 \mathrm{~V}, 60 \mathrm{~Hz}$ induction motor has the following parameters: $R_1=0.2 \Omega, R_2=0.1 \Omega,\left(X_1+X_2\right)=0.3 \Omega$, and $X_m$ is infinite. Find the output power and torque for a slip of $4 \%$.

Key Concepts

Slip

Slip is the difference between the synchronous speed of the rotating magnetic field and the actual rotor speed, expressed as a fraction or percentage. In induction motors, slip is crucial because it determines the transfer of electrical power from the stator to the rotor; the rotor circuit’s effective resistance depends on the slip (through the term R?/s), directly influencing the developed torque and mechanical output power.

Equivalent Circuit of an Induction Motor

The equivalent circuit of an induction motor models its electrical behavior using circuit elements that represent stator resistance and leakage reactance, rotor resistance referred to the stator side (divided by the slip), and leakage reactances. This abstraction helps in analyzing the performance of the motor, in particular how power is delivered across the air gap and how the rotor converts that power into mechanical energy.

Synchronous Speed

Synchronous speed is the speed at which the rotating magnetic field in the motor rotates and is determined by the supply frequency and the number of poles of the machine. It is calculated using the formula n_sync = 120f/P (with f being the frequency and P the number of poles) and serves as the reference speed; the difference between the synchronous speed and the rotor speed is key to the motor’s operation since it is this difference that induces the rotor currents.

Air?Gap Power

Air–gap power is the power transferred from the stator to the rotor across the magnetic air gap. In the equivalent circuit, it is the power dissipated in the rotor resistance (R?/s). However, not all of this power is converted into mechanical output since a portion is lost as rotor copper losses; the actual mechanical power output is given by multiplying the air–gap power by (1 – slip).

Torque Calculation

The developed torque in an induction motor is determined by dividing the mechanical output power by the synchronous angular speed (in radians per second). Calculating the torque involves first finding the air–gap power and then computing the mechanical output (by accounting for the slip), which is subsequently divided by the synchronous speed to yield the torque. This concept links the electrical characteristics of the motor to its mechanical performance.
