A 460 V 25 Hp, 60 Hz, 4-pole, Y-connected induction motor has
the following parameters in ohms per phase referred to the stator
circuit.

The rotational losses are 1100 W and are assumed to be constant.
The core loss is included in this figure. The motor is supplied at
rated voltage and rated frequency. Calculate;
- Synchronous speed
- Slip at which maximum torque occurs
- The maximum torque of the motor
- Assuming that the torque curve is linear between
Tmax and synchronous speed, what is the motor mechanical
torque at STmax/2?
The supply frequency is reduced to 30 Hz.
- What should be the supply voltage to keep the pole flux
constant at 60 Hz value?
- Repeat the solution for 30 Hz
- Compare results of 30 Hz and 60 Hz operation.
