    Induction - Squirrel Cage Motor Torque

    Pete, if I understand this correctly.(S= R2/X)which defines the maximium torque and power of which happends when S = 1 when R2 match with X. I do not see that being consistant with the torque VS. Speed graph. because when S = 1 (RPM=0) thats when motor is energized and right before take off...

    Induction - Squirrel Cage Motor Torque

    for "airgap torque is maximized when airgap power is maximized, which occurs when the component R2/s matches the source impedance X.... i.e s = R2/X" if that is the case, then if I take the first derivative of the P_gap with respective to S. I should recieve the same Resistance and Slip...

    Induction - Squirrel Cage Motor Torque

    never mind again.....I got it ..... I just realized how much I have forgotten over the years ....maybe because I was probably never good at it the first place sorry for the confussion

    Induction - Squirrel Cage Motor Torque

    correction to my question...... how do you derivate From equivalent circuit #2:I = V / sqrt(X^2 + R2^2/s^2)

    Induction - Squirrel Cage Motor Torque

    Tmech = Tag = Pag/wsyncTmech = (I^2*R2/s) / wsyncSubstitute our expression for I: Tmech = V^2 *R2 / [s*(X^2 + R2^2/s^2) *wsync] Tmech = V^2 *R2 / [(s*X^2 + R2^2/s) *wsync] Tmech = V^2 *R2/wsync *[(s*X^2 + R2^2/s)]^(-1) Substitude for I, what was the expression ??? I have difficulty...

    Induction - Squirrel Cage Motor Torque

    to be more specific , comparing a S-cage motor to a slip ring motor....additional resistance are added to the rotor resistance to increase starting torque ( during take-off) of which will limit the inrush current.. but since Power is equal to torque * internal angular velocity W( when slip equal...

    Induction - Squirrel Cage Motor Torque

    Pete, would you please show me the expressions of current , power , turque in terms of S ( in Zero to Breakdown Torque region ) since you first common , I have went back looking into couple books but yet , I am still having a hard to making connection between them Thanks

    Motor %ED

    whats the Motor %ed number representing?

    Induction - Squirrel Cage Motor Torque

    knowing Squirrel cage have high inrush current due to low rotor impedence and rotor impedence is equal to Xrotor + Rrotor and since X = jWL = j 2 pi f L Rotor impedence is at its max when f reachs the high point and vis versa, and as the (which above I can prove mathmatically) ""Rotor...

    Motor cooling Methods

    guys , whats are some of typical motor cooling metheods ???

    VFD set up

    guys, .....question ...this might sound very elemetry but, I had to ask what determines the type of VFD set??(constant torque, constatnt speed, constant power) is it set by changing the drive parameter ??? or it is determine by the type of load or the motor??
