SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the number of poles in a 3-phase induction motor operating at 60 Hz with speeds of 715 r/min at no load and 670 r/min at full load. Using the formula RPM = (120 * Frequency) / Number of Poles, it is determined that the motor has 10 poles, which corresponds to a synchronous speed of 720 r/min. Additionally, the slip percentage is calculated to be 6.3%, indicating the difference between synchronous speed and actual operating speed.
