4. Calculate the percent slip in Procedure steps 5, 7. 8, 9 and 10. Slip in % is Ns - Nr divided
by Ns.
Percent slip (5) =
Percent slip (9) =
5. Does the value of the exciting current of your 3-phase motor depend on the rotor speed?
6. How much reactive power (Q) is needed to produce the magnetic field in your motor?
_____________________Q = ____ var
7. How much active power (P) is needed to supply the losses associated with the production
of the magnetic field?
