Problem 1

If we double the number of poles on the stator of an induction motor, will its synchronous speed also double?
Problem 2
Why does the rotor of an induction motor turn slower than the revolving field?
Problem 3
Would you recommend using a 50 hp induction motor to drive a 10 hp load? Explain, why?

Problem 4
Both the voltage and frequency induced in the rotor of an induction motor decrease as the rotor speeds up.
Explain, why?

Problem 5
A 3-phase, 20-pole induction motor is connected to a 600 V, 60 Hz source.

a. What is the synchronous speed?

b. If the voltage is reduced to 300 V, will the synchronous speed change?

Problem 6
How can we change the direction of rotation of a 3-phase induction motor?

Problem 7
A 3-phase, 6-pole induction motor is connected to a 60 Hz supply. The voltage induced in the rotor bars is 4 V when
the rotor is locked. If the motor turns in the same direction as the flux, calculate the approximate voltage induced
and its frequency:

a. At 300 r/min

b. At 1000 r/min

c. At 1500 r/min

Problem 8
A 3-phase, 75 hp, 440 V induction motor has a full-load efficiency of 91 percent and a power factor of 83 percent.
Calculate the nominal current per phase.

Problem 9
A 25 hp, 1183 r/min, 575 V, 3-phase, 60 Hz, wound-rotor induction motor produces at standstill 320 V between the
open-circuit lines of the rotor. It is known that the RMS brush voltage drop is about 0.6 V. Estimate the no-load
speed of the motor.
