Induction Motor Speed: Electrical vs Mechanical

AI Thread Summary
Electrical speed in an induction motor refers to the speed of the rotating magnetic field, determined by the AC frequency and the number of pole pairs. Mechanical speed, on the other hand, is the actual speed of the rotor, which is influenced by slip, the difference between electrical speed and mechanical speed. The relationship between the two is that electrical speed equals the number of pole pairs multiplied by mechanical speed. Understanding this distinction is crucial for analyzing motor performance and efficiency. The discussion highlights the importance of these concepts in the context of induction motors.

Hello Everybody,
Can anyone explain, what is thee difference between 'electrical spped' and 'mechanical speed' of rotor in an induction motor? what do they signify? Many literatures say that electrical speed is no of pole pairs times mechanical speed, if somebody can explain...
Thanks

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Two capacitors, etc.'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
