A 4 pole, 250 W, 115 V, 60 Hz capacitor start induction motor takes a full-load line current of 5.5 A when running at 1770 RPM. The full-load efficiency of motor is 65%. The slip is

A 4 pole, 250 W, 115 V, 60 Hz capacitor start induction motor takes a full-load line current of 5.5 A when running at 1770 RPM. The full-load efficiency of motor is 65%. The slip is:

1. 0.7%
2. 1.2%
3. 1.7%
4. 4.7%

Correct answer: 3. 1.7%

Synchronous speed (Ns) = 120f/P = 120*60/4 = 1800 RPM

——————–

Slip (s) = (Ns – N)/Ns = (1800 – 1770)/1800 = 0.017 = 1.7%

A capacitor start, capacitor-run motor has

A capacitor start, capacitor-run motor has:

1. High starting torque
2. Low power factor
3. High power factor
4. Low efficiency

Correct answer: 3. High power factor

Explanation: The capacitor start, capacitor-run motor is similar to the capacitor-start type with the exception that the stating winding remains in circuit after motor is started. Such a motor, as a result of the aforementioned operates at higher power factor.
