Q9. A. What are the factors which determine the synchronous speed of a motor? B. The star-connected rotor of an induction motor has a stand-still reactance of 4.5 ohms/phase and a resistance of 0.5 /phase. The motor has an induced emf of 50 V between the slip-rings at stand-still on open circuit when connected to its normal supply voltage. Find the current in each phase and the power factor at start when the slip-ring is short-circuited.
