SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the equations related to induction motors, specifically the rotor speed equations: \( w_r = s w_s \) and \( w_r = w_s - \frac{p}{2} w \). Both equations are used to calculate rotor speed, where \( s \) represents slip, \( w_r \) is the rotor speed, and \( w_s \) is the synchronous speed of the stator's rotating magnetic field. The slip is defined as \( s = 1 - \frac{w_r}{w_s} \), typically expressed as a percentage. Understanding these equations is crucial for analyzing the performance of induction motors.
