Question

A three-phase,50 Hz, 4- pole induction motor runs at no-load with a slip of 1%. With full load, the slip increases to5% . The % speed regulation of the motor (rounded off to two decimal places) is ______

Show Answer

Answer :

Ans. 4.21

Given that,

Number of poles (P) = 4

Frequency (f) = 50 Hz

Synchronous speed, N s = 120 × 50 4 = 1500 r p m

No load:

Slip at no load, s0 = 1 % Rotor speed at no load,

N0 = Ns (1 – s) = 1500(1 – 0.01) = 1485 rpm

Full load:

Slip at no load, s = 5 % Rotor speed at no load,

Speed at full load, N = Ns (1 – s) = 1500(1 – 0.05) = 1425 rpm

% speed regulation = 1485 1425 1425 × 100 = 4.21 %
