Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A three-phase induction motor has a synchronous speed of 1500 RPM and operates at a slip of 4%. Calculate:
1. Rotor speed (Nr)
2. What would the slip be at full load if the rotor speed drops to 1440 RPM?

💡 Hint: Use the slip formula for both calculations!

Question 2

An induction motor has a power input of 20 kW, with stator losses of 800 W and rotor losses of 500 W. Calculate the overall efficiency and explain how losses affect efficiency.

💡 Hint: Keep the losses in mind when calculating efficiency!
