Slip of Induction Motor

When have seen that rotor rotates in the same direction as that of R.M.F. but in steady state attains a speed less than the synchronous speed. The difference between the two speeds i.e. synchronous speed of R.M.F. ( Ns ) and rotor speed (N) is called slip speed. This slip speed is generally expressed as the percentage of the synchronous speed.
       So slip of the induction motor is defined as the difference between the synchronous speed ( Ns) and actual speed of rotor i.e. motor (N) expressed as a friction of the synchronous speed ( Ns ). This is also called absolute slip or fractional slip and is denoted as 's'.
        Thus 


       The percentage slip is expressed as,

       In terms of slip, the actual speed of motor (N) can be expressed as,

        At start, motor is at rest and hence its speed N is zero.

       This is maximum value of slip s possible for induction motor which occurs at start. While s = 0 given us N = Ns which is not possible for an induction motor. So slip of induction motor can not be zero under any circumstances.
       Practically motor operates in the slip range of 0.01 to 0.05 i.e. 1 % to 5 %. The slip corresponding to full load speed of th motor is called full load slip.
Example 1 : A 4 pole, 3 phase induction motor is supplied from Hz supply. Determine its synchronous speed. On full load, its speed is observed to be 1410  r.p.m. calculate its full load slip.
Solution : Given values are,
                              P = 4,            f = 50 Hz ,               N = 1410 r.p.m.
                             Ns = 120f / P = 120 x 50 / 4 = 1500 r.p.m.
       Full load absolute slip is given by,
                             s = ( Ns - N)/ V2 = (1500-1410 )/ 1500 = 0.06
...                            %s = 0.06 x 100 = 6 %

Example 2 : A 4 pole, 3 phase, 50 Hz, star connected induction motor has a full load slip of 4 %. Calculate full load speed of the motor.
Solution : Given values are,
                                 P = 4,           f = 50 Hz,                % sfl = 4%
                                 sfl = Full load absolute slip = 0.04
                                  Ns = 120f  / P = 120 x 50 / 4 = 1500 r.p.m.
                                   sfl = (Ns - Nfl ) / Ns =  where   =  full load speed of motor
...                                 0.04 = (1500 - Nfl )/ 1500
...                                  Nfl = 1440 r.p.m.

Condition for Maximum Power Developed In Synchronous Motor

The value of δ for which the mechanical power developed is maximum can be obtained as, Note : Thus when R a is negligible, θ = 90 o for maximum power developed. The corresponding torque is called pull out torque. 1.1 The Value of Maximum Power Developed        The value of maximum power developed can be obtained by substituting θ = δ in the equation of P m .        When R a is negligible,     θ = 90 o  and cos (θ) = 0 hence, . . .               R a = Z s cosθ   and X s = Z s sinθ        Substituting   cosθ = R a /Z s in equation (6b) we get,         Solving the above quadratic in E b we get,        As E b is completely dependent on excitation, the equation (8) gives the excitation limits for any load for a synchronous motor. If the excitation exceeds this limit, the motor falls out of step. 1.2 Condition for Excitation When Motor Develops ( P m ) R max        Let us find excitation condition for maximum power developed. The excitation

Effect of Slip on Rotor Parameters : Part2

Effect of Slip on Rotor Parameters 2. Effect of Slip on Magnitude of Rotor Induced E.M.F        We have seen that when rotor is standstill, s  = 1, relative speed is maximum and maximum e.m.f. gets induced in the rotor. Let this e.m.f. be,                 E 2 = Rotor induced e.m.f. per phase on standstill condition         As rotor gains speed, the relative speed between rotor and rotating magnetic field decreases and hence induced e.m.f. in rotor also decreases as it is proportional to the relative speed N s - N. Let this e.m.f. be,                E 2r = Rotor induced e.m.f. per phase in running condition  Now        E 2r α N s while E 2r α N s - N        Dividing the two proportionality equations,               E 2r /E 2 = ( N s - N)/N s    but (N s - N)/N = slip s               E 2r /E 2 = s               E 2r = s E 2        The magnitude of the induced e.m.f in the rotor also reduces by slip times the
