Full-load slip of a normal cage induction motor is typically

  • A.a few per cent
  • B.about half
  • C.close to unity
  • D.negative

Answer: A

Correct answer: a few per cent

A normal cage motor runs at two to five per cent slip at full load, so a four-pole machine on a 50 Hz supply turns at about 1440 rpm against a synchronous 1500. The slip is small because the rotor resistance is low, and it must be non-zero because the rotor current, and hence the torque, is produced by the relative motion.
