Equivalent Circuit of 3-Phase Induction Motor — Lesson 1

This lesson covers the concept of induction motors, focusing on the definition and implications of 'slip'. It explains that slip is the difference between the synchronous speed (NS) and rotor speed (NR), and its value can range from 0 to 1. The lesson also discusses the conditions under which slip equals 1 or 0, and how these affect the operation of the machine. It further delves into the stator induced voltage and the equivalent circuit of the induction motor. The lesson concludes with an explanation of how the rotor frequency and voltage change when the motor is running at a certain slip.
