Example
A460-V, 25-hp, 60-Hz, four-pole, Y-connected wound-rotor
induction motor has the following impedances in ohms
per phase referred to the stator circuit
R=06412 R=0.3320
X= 11060 ¥3= 0.464 Q Xe 26.3.2
|. What is the maximum torque of this motor? At what
speed and slip does it occur?
2, What is the starting torque of this motor?
3. If the rotor resistance is doubled, what is the speed at
which the maximum torque now occur? What is the new
starting torque of the motor?
4. Calculate and plot the 7-s c/e for both cases.

3. If the rotor resistance is doubled, then the slip at
maximum torque doubles too
