Answer to Problem 1SQ

The correct option is d.1200RPM.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

The number of poles per phase (p) is 6.

The frequency of the motor (f) is 60Hz.

Formula used:

Write the general expression to find the synchronous speed.

Ns=120fp (1)

Here,

f is the frequency of the motor,

p is the number of poles per phase.

Calculation:

Substitute 60Hz for f, and 6 for p in Equation (1).

Ns=120(60Hz)6=1200RPM

Therefore, the synchronous speed is 1200RPM.

Conclusion:

Thus, the correct option is d.1200RPM.
