What if Rheostat is reduced to Zero?

Induction Motor: Stator Winding

Pole Pitch

Pole Pitch = Stator Circumference / P

Equivalently expressed as Stator Slots or Stator Arc

Full Pitch Winding

Coil Pitch or Coil Span = Pole Pitch

Fractional Pitch Winding

Coil Pitch or Coil Span < Pole Pitch

Slip-Effect on Rotor Frequency and Voltage

Assuming Constant Supply Voltage and Frequency

Reluctance Synchronous Motor

At no Shaft Load, relative motion b/w rotor and rotating flux will be less Rotor will be magnetized along a path of Minimum Reluctance Rotor locked in synchronism with the Rotating Flux Slip = 0, Motor Torque = 0 How to pull out of this state?

Effect of Slip on Rotor Frequency

At blocked rotor, slip = 1, and fBR = fStator

Effect of Slip on Rotor Voltage

Er = 4.44 N fr max Er = 4.44 N s fBR max

Er = s EBR
