Question

A 3-phase, 50-Hz, 415V, Y-connected, 4-pole, squirrel-cage rotor induction motor, has a per-phase of rotor winding impedance of 0.015+j0.08Ω. Assuming that the stator winding impedance is negligible, determine the following;

i) The maximum slip, smax

ii) The maximum pull-out torque, τmax

iii) The required starting torque, τstart

iv) The external resistance that should be added in series with rotor resistance if ratio between starting torque and the maximum torque should be 0.85
