    b) A 3-phase slip ring induction motor gives a reading of 60 V across slip rings on open
    circuit when at rest with normal stator voltage applied. The motor is star-connected
    and has impedance of (0.6+j6) ohm per phase. Find the rotor current when the machine is
    (i) at standstill with slip rings joined to a star-connected starter with a phase impedance
    of (5+j4) ohms and (ii) running normally with a 4% slip. (7)

    3) a) If stator impedance of an induction motor is neglected, show from its equivalent circuit
    V12
    that maximum torque per phase is given by, Tmax = 0.5 and hence show that
    ωs x2

    the starting torque if the maximum torque is developed at 1200 rpm. Neglect stator
    resistance and mechanical loses. (6)

    Calculate the relative values of starting currents and starting torques of a 3-phase
    squirrel cage induction motor, when it is started by auto-transformer starter. (2 + 5 = 7)

    b) Design the six sections of a seven stud rotor starter for a 3-phase wound induction motor.

    friction and windage losses of 1.5KW and core losses of 1KW when it delivers full load
    armature current of 60A at 0.8 power factor lagging at 50Hz. The rotor-field current has been so
