  1. A 230 V, 50 Hz, 4-pole, single-phase induction motor is rotating in the clockwise (forward) direction at a speed of 1425 -rpm. If the rotor resistance at standstill is 7.8 Ω. then the effective rotor resistance in the backward branch of the equivalent circuit will be
    1. 2 Ω
    2. 4 Ω
    3. 78 Ω
    4. 156 Ω
Correct Option: B

Synchronous speed,

Ns =
120 × f
=
120 × 50
= 1500 rpm
P4

∴ Slip , s =
1500 - 1425
= 0.05
1500

∴ Resistance of backward branch,
rb =
r2
=
7.8
= 4 Ω
2 - s2 - 0.05
