Does decreasing input voltage affect the slip in an induction motor?

AI Thread Summary
Decreasing the input voltage of an induction motor by 10% leads to a reduction in current, which subsequently decreases the motor's torque and mechanical speed. This results in an increase in slip, calculated using the formula S=(ωs-ωm)/ωs. The power produced by the motor is dependent on rotor current and slip, and if the load power remains constant, a decrease in voltage will cause an increase in slip. Specifically, if the supply voltage decreases to 90% of its original value, the slip will increase to approximately 1.235 times the original slip. Thus, lower input voltage directly correlates with higher slip in an induction motor.

Hello all
My question is:
Induction motor with nominal load rotates with nominal speed.
How the slip will be changed if we decrease input voltage in 10%?

I think that if we decrease the voltage, than the current will be decreased also.
Than, the moment will be decreased and mechanical speed ωm will be decreased also.
So, the slip will be increased...
S=(ωs-ωm)/ωs

Am I right?

The power produced by motor it is:
Pm=m1*Irot^2*Rrot/s=kp*Irot^2/s where : m1=number of stator phases[m1=3] ;Irot=rotor current at slip s.
Irot=s*Vr/sqrt(Rrot^2+s^2*Xrot) where Xrot is the rotor leakage reactance ; Vr=rotor EMF at start[s=1] ; Vr=krot/stat*Es~=k*Vs ; Vs=stator supply voltage.
Since s^2*Xrot<<Rrot :
Irot=~s*Vr/Rrot ; Irot^2=s^2*Vr^2/Rrot^2
Pm=3*s^2*Vr^2/Rrot^2*Rrot/s=3*s*Vr^2/Rrot=k*s*Vs^2
If Pload remains constant then :
If Pm1=Pload=Pm2 then Vs1^2*s1=Vs2^2*s2 or: s2=Vs1^2/Vs2^2*s1
If Vs2<Vs1 then s2>s1
If Vs2=0.9*Vs1 then s2=1/0.9^2*s1=1.235*s1
 
Sorry! The rotor current formula is [of course]:
Irot=s*Vr/sqrt(Rrot^2+s^2*Xrot^2)
Then s^2*Xrot^2<<Rrot^2.
Example:
Usually Xrot/Rrot=sk =~5*sn where sk=the slip corresponding to maximum torque and sn=rated [nominal] slip. sn=~0.05 [usually].
So (0.05*5)^2*Rrot^2=0.0625*Rrot ^2
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
