A 3 phase induction motor is controlled by voltage and frequency control such that the ratio V/f is constant. At 50 Hz, the speed is 1440 rpm. At 25 Hz, the speed is likely to be
Options
A. about 1350 rpm
B. about 720 rpm
C. about 360 rpm
D. either (b) or (c)
Correct Answer
about 720 rpm
Explanation
In this case synchronous speed at 50 Hz is 1500 rpm. Therefore synchronous speed at 25 Hz is 750 rpm. Since slip is about 3 - 5%, speed is about 720 rpm.
