You can use the relation that power equals torque times angular velocity.

You start from the speed (rpm) and the horse power times 746 which gives the mechanical power in watts.

To use the formula you have to use consistent units, which means torque is in Newton-metres and the angular velocity is in radians/second, in other words the rpm times 2.pi / 60.

So the torque in Newton-metres is the power (watts) divided by the shaft speed in radians per second.

T = (HP x 746) / (rpm x 2 x pi / 60)

So if you know the speed and the power, you can find the torque.

Why use clutch plate in single phase motor?

induction motors have very little starting torque as the motor come up to speed it reduces the torque load until it gets near synchronous speed


Why is the speed of synchronous motor is more then induction motor?

Synchronous motors run at synchronous speed. An induction motor that has the same number of poles must run at a sub-synchronous speed to create a second magnetic field (a field that is at a different phase angle) to generate torque.


Performance curve of a single phase induction motor?

The performance curve can be a graph of torque versus speed. The torque is zero at zero speed and also at the synchronous speed. Normally an induction motor operates at 90-97% of the synchronous speed, where the slip is between 10% and 3%. In this region the torque is proportional to the slip. As the torque is increased the speed falls until the motor stalls and the speed drops to zero. Below the stalling speed the torque rises between zero speed and the stalling speed. Because the torque is 0 at 0, a single-phase induction motor needs a separate starting winding fed by a starting capacitor to produce a little positive torque that starts the motor.

Is a 3 phase motor a Synchronous motor?

A synchronous motor can be a type of 3-Phase AC motor, or not.A synchronous motor is defined by the period of the rotor being synchronized with the frequency of the stator windings' current. The stator windings might be 3-Phase or not (2-Phase would work).Also synchronous motors are not the only type of 3-Phase AC motors. An induction motor could also be 3-Phase AC and has a few advantages and disadvantages over a synchronous motor.


Why single phase synchronous machines are not there?

Not where(?)


What is a 3 phase torque?

It is a short-hand description of the torque from a 3-phase motor. By the nature of 3-phase electricity, a motor using it gives a constant torque, unlike a single-phase motor which gives a torque that pulsates at twice the supply frequency. Usually that does not matter because there is enough inertia in the rotating parts to mask the effect.


What are the uses of single phase or three phase motor?

torque load, generation load, power correction load


How many Slip rings in synchronous motor?

If the synchronous motor is single phase then there are two slip rings & if this motor is three phase so the slip rings are three in number. Correction; I have never seen a single phase synchronous motor. It would cost more that it was worth. A synchronous motor has a separately excited field. If the excitation comes from a stationary DC source it has 2 slip (collector) rings. A brushless induction motor has no slip rings because the exciter armature rotates and so do the rectifiers. A permanent magnet motor, used with variable frequency drives, is another type of synchronous motor that has no slip rings. A three phase motor with 3 slip rings is a Wound Rotor motor. Wound rotor motors are variable speed motors that were used for such applications as bridges and cranes before variable speed drives.


Why single phase induction motor always runs below the synchronous speed?

For exactly the same reason as three-phase motors always run below synchronous speed. If they were to run at synchronous speed then no voltage and, therefore, no rotor current will be induced into the rotor to drive it.
