Tutorial 8

The document provides a tutorial on induction machines, detailing calculations for a three-phase, 460 V, 1740 rpm, four-pole wound-rotor induction motor, including starting current, torque, slip, and efficiency. It also includes test results for a squirrel-cage induction machine, requiring the determination of equivalent circuit parameters and performance metrics such as input power and efficiency. Additionally, it covers calculations for another induction motor's performance at 5% slip and the derivation of the Thevenin equivalent circuit for an eight-pole induction machine.
