A 3-phase induction motor runs at almost 888 rpm at no load and 500 rpm at full load when supplied with power from a 50 Hz, 3-phase supply. What is the corresponding speed of the rotor field with respect to the rotor?(a) 388 revolution per minute(b) 400 revolution per minute(c) 644 revolution per minute(d) 534 revolution per minuteThis question was posed to me during an internship interview.The above asked question is from Energy Relations During Starting in chapter Starting of Electric Drives

Answer»

Correct choice is (a) 388 revolution per minute

Best explanation: Supply frequency=50 Hz. No-load speed of MOTOR = 888 rpm. The full load speed of motor=500 rpm. Since the no-load speed of the motor is almost 888 rpm, hence SYNCHRONOUS speed near to 888 rpm. Speed of rotor FIELD=888 rpm. Speed of rotor field with RESPECT to rotor = 888-500 = 388 rpm.
