The air gap power of an induction motor is the power

  • A.drawn from the supply at the terminals of the machine
  • B.transferred from stator to rotor across the gap
  • C.dissipated in the stator windings of the machine as copper loss
  • D.delivered at the shaft of the machine to the load it drives

Answer: B

Correct answer: transferred from stator to rotor across the gap

The air gap power is what remains of the input after the stator copper and core losses have been taken out, and it is the power carried across the gap by the field. It then divides between rotor copper loss and mechanical power in the ratio \( s : (1-s) \). It is not the terminal input, which is larger by the stator losses, and not the shaft output, which is smaller by the rotor loss and the friction and windage.
