Question 1

What is the formula for calculating synchronous speed?

  • Ns = (120f)/P
  • Ns = P/(120f)
  • Ns = 60/Pf

💡 Hint: Remember the components in the formula: frequency and poles.

Question 2

True or False: Slip is the same as the synchronous speed.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about what slip really represents.
