(b) Mention the types, advantages, and disadvantages of induction motor.
(b) Derive the relation for starting (Ts) and prove that Ts is maximum when R2 = X2.

2. A 4-pole, 3-phase IM operates from a supply whose frequency is 50 Hz. Calculate:


[5M]
a) Speed at which the magnetic field of the stator is rotating
b) Speed of the rotor when the slip is 0.04.
c) Frequency of the rotor current when the slip is 0.03. In this case, how any complete
oscillations will the rotor voltage make per minute?
d) Frequency of the rotor current at standstill.

3. A 6-pole, 3-phase,50 Hz wound rotor IM when supplied at the rated voltage and
frequency with slip rings open-circuited, developed a voltage of 100 V between any
two rings. Under the same conditions, its rotor is now driven by external means at-
a) 1000 rpm opposite to the direction of rotation of stator field.

cases.[2M]
