Wound Rotor Induction Motor Question
Not what you're looking for?
A 100 hp 60 Hz six pole 460 V three phase wound rotor induction motor develops a full-load torque at 1152 r/min with the rotor short-circuited. An external noninductive resistance of 1 Ohm is placed in series with each phase of the rotor, and the motor is observed to develop its rated torque at a speed of 1116 r/min. Calculate the resistance per phase of the original motor.

Solution:
Synchronous speed n1: n1 = (120f1)/pole numbers
f1 is the system frequency f1 = 60Hz, with the total pole numbers at 6 poles.
n1 = (120*60)/6 = 1200 r/min
Slip S: S = (n1-n)/n1 where n is the motor speed,
For n = 1152 r/min S1 = (1200-1152)/1200 = 0.04
For n = 1116 ...
