In a 3-phase induction motor, the slip speed is ______.

  • A.Synchronous speed – Rotor speed
  • B.Rotor speed – Synchronous speed
  • C.Rotor speed
  • D.Synchronous speed

Answer: A

The slip speed of an induction motor is the difference between the speed of the rotating magnetic field and the speed of the rotor.


\[ N_{slip} = N_s - N_r = sN_s \]


Because the rotor always runs a little slower than the synchronous speed, \(N_s - N_r\) is positive, so the order in option A is the one that gives a positive slip. Option B gives the negative of it, and the rotor speed or the synchronous speed alone is not a slip speed. The answer is option A.
