load the motor speed is 1728 rpm, and at no load the speed is nearly 1800 rpm. At
full-load conditions, determine the following:
a) Number of poles
b) Slip
c) Frequency of the rotor voltages
d) Speed of the rotor field with respect to the rotor
e) Speed of the rotor field with respect to the stator
f) Speed of the rotor field with respect to the stator field
7.2 A three-phase, 440-V, 60-Hz, wye-connected induction motor takes a stator current
of 50 A at 0.8 power factor while running at its rated speed of 855 rpm. The stator
loss is 2500 W, and the rotational losses are 3200 W. Calculate the efficiency of
the motor.

and the rotational losses are 350 W. Determine:
a) Rotor copper loss.
b) Shaft output torque and horsepower.
