Polyphase Induction Motors

The document provides an overview of polyphase induction motors, detailing the principles of operation, including the role of the stator and rotor, slip speed, and types of rotor construction. It explains how the rotor generates voltage and frequency, the relationship between rotor current and power, and the concepts of rotor torque and starting torque. Key formulas related to rotor speed, slip, and power input are also presented to illustrate the motor's performance characteristics.

 there’s relative motion between flux P
and conductors Slip and Rotor Speed
 rotor consists of a laminated core
with a winding; main field is an even  rotor of an induction motor must

Rotor Torque

 expressed in pound feet


 as the load increases, speed
decreases = slip increases
 Maximum torque- torque that is
sufficient to drive a mechanical
machine

Starting Torque

 torque developed by a motor at the


instant it is started
