If a 3-phase, 4 pole, 50 Hz induction motor is at standstill position, what is value of rotor frequency

If a 3-phase, 4 pole, 50 Hz induction motor is at standstill position, what is value of rotor frequency:

1. Zero
2. 25 Hz
3. 50 Hz
4. Anywhere between 10 and 50 Hz

Correct answer: 3. 50 Hz

Solution: Speed of magnetic field = 120*f/P = 120*50/4 = 1500 RPM

Slip Speed = Speed of magnetic field – Mechanical shaft speed = 1500 – 0 = 1500

Slip = Slip speed/Speed of magnetic fields *100% = 1500/1500*100 = 100% = 1

Rotor frequency (f’) = sf = 1 * 50 Hz = 50 Hz
