A balanced 3 – phase induction motor runs at slip s. If ωs is its synchronous speed, what is the relative speed between the stator mmf and rotor mmf ?

A balanced 3 – phase induction motor runs at slip s. If ωs is its synchronous speed, what is the relative speed between the stator mmf and rotor mmf ? Correct Answer Zero

Concept:

In a three-phase induction motor,

  • The stator is stationary, and the rotor is a rotating part
  • Both the stator field and rotor field rotate with synchronous speed
  • The rotor rotates with a speed less than synchronous speed

 

Application:

  • The relative speed between the rotor field and a stator is synchronous speed
  • The relative speed between the rotor field and stator field is zero
  • The relative speed between stator field and stator is synchronous speed
