Induction Machines: Steady State Torque Speed Characteristic

1) The document discusses the torque-speed characteristic of induction motors, defining key motor parameters like electrical and mechanical speeds. 2) It presents the induction motor equivalent circuit model and describes how power flows within the motor from input to losses and output. 3) Equations are shown for torque as a function of slip and other motor variables, and it is explained that torque peaks at a particular maximum slip value before declining as slip increases further.

Example


A three-phase. two-pole, 6O-Hz induction motor is observed to be
operating at a speed of 3502 r/min with an input power of 15.7 kW
and a terminal current of 22.6 A. The stator winding resistance is
0.20 /ph. Calculate the /

The equation below defines the torque-speed relation for the
induction motor for a given input voltage and frequency, considering
that the motor parameters are constants.

Torque vs. Speed Characteristic
(Simplifications)
At start up, the equivalent impedance is
dominated by the inductive reactance since s=1:
Taking that into account, simplifies T

to:
To calculate T
max

, take the first derivative of T
e

with respect to
slip and set it equal to zero, then solve for the slip. Finally
plug in s

into the T equation to get T
