Question

An AC induction machine has six poles and is
designed for 60-Hz, 240-V (rms) operation. When the
machine operates with 10 percent slip, it produces
60 N-m of torque.
a. The machine is now used in conjunction with an
800-W constant power load. Determine the speed
and slip of the machine when used with the
above-mentioned load.
b. If the machine has an efficiency of 89 percent,
what minimum rms current is required for
operation with the load of part a?
Hint: You may assume that the speed–torque curve is
approximately linear in the region of interest.
