shaft torque
Approximate Equivalent Circuit
High Power Motors I1 is very small

still need to use equivalent circuit
Approximate Equivalent Circuit

Example 3
A 3 phase, 460V from a Y-connected supply, 1740 rpm 60Hz, 4pole wound-
rotor induction motor has the following parameter per in ohms/phase:
R1 = 0.25 R2 = 0.20
X1 = X2 = 0.5 Xm=30
The rotational losses are 1700W. With rotor terminals short circuited find:
(a) (i) starting current when started direct on full voltage
(ii) Starting Torque
(b) Full load (i) slip (ii) current (iii) Torque (iv) Motor Efficiency (v) Internal
efficiency (Pag:Pmech)
(c) (i) Slip at which maximum torque is developed (ii) Maximum Torque
(d) For maximum torque to occur at start, what is the additional resistance to
be connected per phase?
