The question i'm having trouble with is:

Calculate the speed of the rotor of a 6 pole induction motor with a slip of 2.2%. The motor is connected to a 230V single-phase supply.

I am familiar with the table below and a certain formulae but i'm doing something incorrect and am confused on how to tackle this question.

Any formulaes or help would be appriciated as I am really stuck

  • \$\begingroup\$ Which "certain formulae" have you tried? Do you know the supply frequency? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ If the voltage is 230V what is the likely supply frequency? Having got that go to your course documentation and look up the formula for slip.; \$\endgroup\$

This is pretty straight forward. The slip= (ws-wr)/ws, where ws= 1000 rpm at 50 Hz and 1200 at 60 Hz , wr is the speed of the motor ,

wr at 50 Hz = 1000(1-2.2%) = 978 rpm, wr at 60 Hz = 1200(1-2.2%) = 1173.6 rpm
