Chapter Three Tutorial

This document contains 7 questions related to induction motors. Question 1 asks about the synchronous speed, slip speed, per unit slip, and percentage slip of an 8-pole, 50Hz induction motor running at 735 rpm. Question 2 asks about the percentage speed and induced current frequency of a 6-pole, 50Hz motor running at 970 rpm. Question 3 asks about the speed and rotor emf frequency of a 6-pole induction motor driven by an 8-pole generator running at 750 rpm, with the motor having a 3% slip.
