For example, if the rotor bar weight is assumed to be 100

Ib., the allowable rise 500 C, the starting torque 2500 ft.lbf,
the material copper, and the synchronous speed 3600 r/min,
then the stall time calculates to 10 s when the bar contribution
to the starting torque is considered to be 70%. The relative
simplicity of this calculation does have some benefit in that
it shows very clearly that if the starting torque of a machine
is higher, the shorter the stall time will be. In other words,
high starting torque and long stall times are not consistent; the
two parameters are inversely dependent. Therefore, to increase
the stall time by any significant amount, the design has to be
modified to reduce the starting torque.
Myth: I ncreasing the size of the rotor bars increases the
safe stall time without adverse effects on torque, inrush, or
accelerating times.
Another point that (2) implies is that stall time can be lengthened
by increasing the mass of the rotor cage. Although this is
true, there is an associated cost, and the net impact is usually
no gain. The torque of the motor is directly proportional to
the resistance of the rotor cage and inversely proportional to
the reactance. The resistance of a conductor is given by (3a)
and the reactance of a slot by (3b):
R = pL/A
X = aD/W
where
R resistance in ohms
p coefficient of resistance in ohm feet
L length of conductor in feet
A area of conductor in square feet
X reactance of the slot in ohms
Q constant representing various factors
D depth of the slot
W width of the slot
