Three Phase Induction Motors: Torque-Slip Characteristics

TORQUE‒SLIP CHARACTERISTICS

 

The motor torque under running condition is given by,


If the characteristic curve is drawn between the torque and slip for a particular value of rotor resistance R2, then it will be known as torque‒ slip characteristics. Fig. 5:19 shows torque‒slip characteristics of 3ϕ induction motor for a slip range from s=0 to s=1 for various values of rotor resistance.

The following points may be noted

1. At s=0, torque T=0. So that the curve starts from origin.

2. At normal speed, slip 's' is small so that sX2 is negligible as compared to R2.

T s/R2

T s

Hence, T‒s curve is a straight line from zero to a slip value corresponding to full load.

3. As slip 's' increases beyond the full load slip, the torque increases and becomes maximum at s = R2/X2. This maximum torque in an induction motor is called pull‒out torque or break‒down torque. Its value is atleast twice the full‒load value when the motor is operated at rated voltage and frequency.

4. When slip increases beyond the value corresponding to maximum torque, the term (sX2)2 increases rapidly so that R22 may be neglected as compared to (sX2)2.

 Τ s / (sX2)2

T 1/s

As X2 is constant. Thus, the torque is inversely proportional to the fractional slip. Hence T‒s curve becomes rectangular hyperbola.
