A 3-phase induction motor runs at almost 888 rpm at no load and 500 rpm at full load when supplied with power from a 50 Hz, 3-phase supply. What is the corresponding speed of the rotor field with respect to the rotor?

A 3-phase induction motor runs at almost 888 rpm at no load and 500 rpm at full load when supplied with power from a 50 Hz, 3-phase supply. What is the corresponding speed of the rotor field with respect to the rotor? Correct Answer 388 revolution per minute

Supply frequency=50 Hz. No-load speed of motor = 888 rpm. The full load speed of motor=500 rpm. Since the no-load speed of the motor is almost 888 rpm, hence synchronous speed near to 888 rpm. Speed of rotor field=888 rpm. Speed of rotor field with respect to rotor = 888-500 = 388 rpm.
