Question

a. A three-phase, 220-V, 60-Hz induction motor runs
at 1,140 r/min. Determine the number of poles (for
minimum slip), the slip, and the frequency of the
rotor currents.
b. To reduce the starting current, a three-phase
squirrel cage induction motor is started by
reducing the line voltage to Vs/2. By what factor
are the starting torque and the starting current
reduced?
