This document contains two assignments for an Electrical Machine II course. The first assignment contains 9 questions about induction motors, including why they are called asynchronous motors, the differences between squirrel cage and slip ring induction motors, why single phase induction motors are not self-starting, the types of induction motors, and questions about torque-slip characteristics and calculating slip from motor specifications. The second assignment contains 9 questions about synchronous motors and alternators, including their operating principles, starting methods, advantages of stationary armatures, types of alternators, and disadvantages of synchronous motors. Both assignments are from the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Polytechnic, IFTM University in Moradabad, for semester 5 of the 2013-

2. What is the difference between squirrel cage and slip ring induction motor?
3. Why single phase induction motor is not self-starting?
4. Where do we require single-phase induction motor?
5. What are the different types of Induction Motor? Explain the construction of 3-phase induction motor is brief.
6. Draw and explain the torque-slip characteristics of typical 3-phase induction motor. Mark the starting torque and
maximum torque on the diagram so drawn.
7. Three-phase induction motor is self-starting but 3-phase synchronous motor is not self-starting. Explain why?
8. A 12-pole, 3-phase induction alternator is coupled to an engine running at 1500 rpm. It supplied a 3-phase induction
motor having a full load speed of 1440 rpm. Find the percentage slip, frequency of rotor current and number of poles
of motor.
9. The rotor speed of a 6-pole 50 Hz induction motor is 960 rpm. Find the percentage slip.A 3-phase induction motor
connected from a 3-phase, 50 Hz a.c. supply, and runs at 720 rpm and has 4% slip. How many numbers of poles in
