1. A 3-phase, 4 pole, 50 Hz slip-ring induction motor has 420 stator turns and 240 rotor turns.
The magnitude of the rotating flux per pole is 30 mWb. The winding factors for both stator
and rotor windings are 0.96. Calculate frequency and the magnitude of per phase e.m.fs. in
the stator and rotor windings when the rotor is
(a) stationary
(b) revolving in the direction of rotating flux wave at a speed of 1440 r.p.m. and
(c) revolving opposite to the direction of rotating flux wave at a speed of 1440 r.p.m.

2. The following data refers to a 12-pole, 420 V, 50Hz, 3-phase mesh connected induction
motor:
r1 = 2.95Ω, x1= 6.82 Ω, r2' = 2.08Ω, x2' = 4.11 Ω per phase.
On no load, the line value of magnetizing current is 6.7A and the total core loss is 269 W.
Determine the power factor, input current, equivalent rotor current and torque developed
by the motor at a slip of 3% using exact equivalent circuit. Determine the maximum torque
developed and the corresponding speed.

3. For a 3-phase winding with 3 slots per pole per phase and coil span of 8 slots, compute the
breadth and pitch factors.
The flux density wave in the air gap of this machine is found to have 20% third harmonic.
Calculate percentage increase in per phase r.m.s. e.m.f. due to harmonic.
4. If Q is the number of slots per pole, show that the distribution and pitch factor for (2Q+1)th
harmonic components and fundamental frequency components are equal. How can these
higher order harmonics be reduced?

5. A 4-pole, 3-phase, slip-ring induction motor is coupled mechanically with a 6-pole

synchronous motor. The induction motor stator and synchronous motor are energized from
the same 50 Hz voltage source.
(a) What will be the frequency of the e.m.fs. at the rotor slip rings if the synchronous motor
is driven (i) in a direction opposite to the rotating field produced by the induction motor
stator (ii) in the direction of the induction motor rotating field.
(b) If the frequency of the 3-phase rotor terminal voltage is required to be 150 Hz, calculate
the number of poles that the induction motor must have.
(c) If the induction motor is assumed to have 8 poles, calculate the number of synchronous
motor poles, for obtaining 3-phase, 150 Hz voltages at the induction motor slip rings.
