SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the calculation of round slots on the rotor for squirrel cage asynchronous motors. It concludes that round bars are inadequate for high torque applications due to their tendency to increase torque pulsations and noise. The technique of burying these bars can mitigate these issues but at the cost of increased leakage induction and reduced breakdown torque. For a comprehensive understanding, refer to "The Induction Machine Handbook" by Boldea and Nasar.
