A 12 pole, 3 phase alternator is coupled to an engine running at 500rpm. It supplies an induction motor which has a full load speed of 1440 rpm. Find the slip of motor

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slip of the motor, we need to first calculate the synchronous speed of the motor. The synchronous speed is given by:

Synchronous speed = (120 * Frequency) / Number of poles

Where Frequency is the supply frequency in Hz and Number of poles is the number of poles in the motor.

In this case, we have a 12 pole motor. Assuming a supply frequency of 50 Hz, we can calculate the synchronous speed as follows:

Synchronous speed = (120 * 50) / 12 = 500 rpm

The full load speed of the motor is given as 1440 rpm. The slip of the motor can be calculated using the following formula:

Slip = (Synchronous speed - Full load speed) / Synchronous speed

Substituting the values we get:

Slip = (500 - 1440) / 500 = -0.88 or 88% .

Therefore, the slip of the motor is 88%.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or if there is anything else I can help you with.
