Synchronous Speed to Shaft Speed

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating shaft speed from synchronous speed in induction motors. The synchronous speed is established at 1500 RPM, with a 5% slip at full-load. The formula nshaft = nsynch * (100 - %slip) is confirmed as a method to determine shaft speed at full-load. Additionally, it is noted that slip varies with torque and synchronous speed, necessitating numeric methods or circle diagrams for more precise calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of induction motor principles
  • Familiarity with synchronous speed and slip concepts
  • Knowledge of torque vs. speed characteristics
  • Basic skills in numeric methods and computer simulations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "circle diagram of induction motor" for visual representation
  • Explore numeric methods for calculating varying slip in induction motors
  • Study the impact of load on slip and shaft speed
  • Learn about simulation tools for motor performance analysis
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, motor control specialists, and anyone involved in the design or analysis of induction motors will benefit from this discussion.

Hi All

I have a standard induction motor torque vs. synchronous speed diagram and I want to calculate the shaft-speed at any point along the curve (from 0% synchronous speed to 100% synchronous speed). I know that the synchronous speed is 1500 rpm at 95% synchronous speed (which is also at full-load), at full-load the induction motor experiences 5% slip.

Now, I know that the equation nshaft = nsynch*(100-%slip) will give me the shaft speed at full-load, but I also know that the slip changes as per the amount of torque/synchronous speed.

At 0% synchronous speed there is 100% slip and at 100% synchronous speed there is 0% slip.

Is there any method to how you can calculate the shaft speeds on the information I've presented? 1500rpm synch speed and 5% slip at full-load.

Yes, I think you can calculate it, at least by numeric methods ( computer simulation ).

You may find an approximate result, using circle diagrams.
