Power Stages in an Induction Motor

• Different stages of power development in an induction motor

• Stator iron loss (consisting of eddy and hysteresis losses) depends on
the supply frequency and the flux density in the iron core. It is
practically constant.
• The iron loss of the rotor is, however,
negligible because frequency of rotor currents under normal running
conditions is always small. Total rotor Cu loss = 3 I22R2.
Power Stages in an Induction Motor

• An induction motor develops gross torque Tg due to gross rotor

output Pm.
• Its value can be expressed either in terms of rotor input P2 or rotor
gross output Pm as given below.
• An induction motor develops gross torque Tg due to gross rotor
output Pm.
• Its value can be expressed either in terms of rotor input P2 or rotor
gross output Pm as given below.
The difference between Tg and Tsh equals the torque lost due to
friction and windage loss in the motor
• The power input to the rotor of 440 V, 50 Hz, 6-pole, 3-phase,
induction motor is 80 kW. The rotor electromotive force is
observed to make 100 complete alterations per minute.
