Seven motors in ten
- Around seven of every ten industrial motors are squirrel-cage 鼠笼式 induction machines. They have no brushes and only one moving part.
- The secret is a field that rotates by itself. This lesson follows the rotor as it chases that field.
The rotating field
- Three coils 120° apart, fed with currents 120° apart in time, make a rotating field 旋转磁场 of constant size.
- It turns at the synchronous speed 同步转速 $n_{s} = \dfrac{120f}{p}$ rpm, with $f$ in Hz and $p$ the number of poles.
What is the synchronous speed of a 2-pole motor on 60 Hz, in rpm?

$n_{s} = 120 \times 60 / 2 = 3600$ rpm.
Slip
- The rotor chases the field but never quite catches it. The shortfall is the slip 转差率 $s = \dfrac{n_{s} - n}{n_{s}}$.
- The rotor bars see the field slide past at frequency $sf$, so every rotor quantity follows from the slip.
The field rotates, the rotor chases
Move the slip and watch the stator field, the rotor and their relative speed; read the rotor frequency off the gap between them.

$n_{s} = 120 \times 50/6 = 1000$ rpm, so $s = (1000 - 960)/1000 = 0.04$.
A 50 Hz motor runs at a slip of 0.05. What frequency do the rotor currents have, in Hz?

The rotor sees $sf = 0.05 \times 50 = 2.5$ Hz, not 50 Hz.
Where the power goes
- In the equivalent circuit the rotor appears as $R_{2}'/s = R_{2}' + R_{2}'\dfrac{1-s}{s}$. The first part is rotor copper loss; the second is the shaft.
- So slip divides the air-gap power $P_{ag}$: copper gets $sP_{ag}$ and the shaft gets $(1-s)P_{ag}$.
10 kW crosses the air gap of a motor running at 3% slip. How much is lost as rotor copper loss, in W?

Copper takes $sP_{ag} = 0.03 \times 10\,000 = 300$ W; the shaft gets the other 9.7 kW.
Worked example: the nameplate
- A 4-pole, 50 Hz motor: $n_{s} = 120 \times 50/4 = 1500$ rpm. Running at 1440 rpm, $s = 60/1500 = 0.04$.
- The rotor frequency is $sf = 2$ Hz, and $R_{2}'/s = 25R_{2}'$: near synchronous speed the rotor looks almost purely resistive.
The torque–slip curve
- Torque rises with slip, peaks at the breakdown torque 最大转矩, then falls. The peak sits where $R_{2}'/s$ equals $\sqrt{R_{th}^{2} + (X_{th} + X_{2}')^{2}}$.
- More rotor resistance moves the peak towards starting without changing its height. The wound rotor 绕线转子 sells exactly this.
Doubling the rotor resistance doubles the breakdown torque.

The peak height does not depend on $R_{2}'$. More rotor resistance only moves the peak to a larger slip, which raises the starting torque.
Worked example: the torque chain
- With $V_{th} = 231$ V, $R_{th} = 0.5\ \Omega$, $X_{th} + X_{2}' = 2.4\ \Omega$, $R_{2}' = 0.4\ \Omega$ and $s = 0.04$: $T = 87.8$ N·m.
- $P_{ag} = 13.8$ kW, rotor copper loss 552 W, shaft 13.2 kW. Breakdown: 172 N·m at $s = 0.163$; locked rotor, 62 N·m.
In the torque chain, T = 87.8 N·m at ω_s = 157.1 rad/s and s = 0.04. What is the shaft power?
רמת קושי 1/5 · 100 מטבעות + בונוס קטן בהשלמה הראשונה היום
$P_{ag} = T\omega_{s} = 13.8$ kW, and the shaft gets $(1 - 0.04) \times 13.8 = 13.2$ kW. The other 552 W heats the rotor.
Three common slips
- rpm in the torque formula. $\omega_{s}$ must be in rad/s.
- "More slip, more torque." Torque peaks at $s_{max}$ and falls on both sides of it.
- 50 Hz in the rotor. The rotor frequency is $sf$: 2 Hz here.
Match each operating point to its slip.

At s = 0 the bars see no moving field, so there is no current and no torque; a motor always runs a little below synchronous speed.
Recap
- $n_{s} = 120f/p$; slip $s = (n_{s} - n)/n_{s}$; rotor frequency $sf$.
- Copper takes $sP_{ag}$; the shaft takes $(1-s)P_{ag}$.
- Rotor resistance moves the torque peak, not its height.
