A 3-phase induction motor has supply frequency of 60 Hz. When the rotor is stationary, the frequency of rotor current is _______.

  • A.0 Hz
  • B.30 Hz
  • C.60 Hz
  • D.120 Hz

Answer: C

The frequency of the rotor current is 60 Hz. The rotor frequency is the slip times the supply frequency, and when the rotor is stationary the slip is 1.

\[ f_r = s f = 1 \times 60 = 60\ \text{Hz} \]

The value 0 Hz would be for a rotor running at synchronous speed, where the slip is zero, 30 Hz would be for a slip of 0.5, and 120 Hz would be for a slip of 2. So the third option is correct.
