Worked Examples For A Three - Phase Induction Machine

1. The document provides two academic examples solving problems related to a three-phase induction motor, including calculating slip, torque, and motor speed under different conditions. 2. Doubling the induced torque of an induction motor in the first example would double the slip and decrease the operating speed. It would also double the gross power output. 3. Increasing the rotor resistance of the induction motor in the second example would decrease the speed at maximum torque and increase the starting torque.

insulation) supplies 15kW a mechanical load at rotor
speed of 2950 rpm.

speed ?
2. What is the corresponding induced torque in N.m
under these conditions?
3. What will be the operating speed of I.M, if its induced
torque is doubled in this case?

3. In low-slip region, the torque - speed curve is linear (R2>> X2) that
is the induced torque is direct proportional with slip. So, if the
induced torque is doubled, the new slip will, also be doubled, that is
2 * 0.0167= 0.0334 i.e., 3.34% , and the new motor speed is:
n newm  (1  s new )nsync  (1  0.0334)  3000  2900 rpm < 2950 rpm
