What is the effect of increasing number of poles on the speed of an induction motor?

As the number of poles (P) increases, the speed of an induction motor (N) decreases. As seen by the formula: N=(120*f)/P


What are the End effects in linear induction motor?

due to the finite length of primary core and windings of linear induction motor, the phenomenon so produced is called as end effect. this can be categorized further as dynamic end effects and exit end effects.


What is the effect of induction motor on power factor?

An induction motor has a lagging power factor. Motors of more than about 2 HP are designed to have a power factor of 0.85 or higher.


Why 3 phase induction motor never atteined sinkronas speed?

Induction motors run at sub synchronous speeds because the slip (difference between synchronous and actual speed) causes, or controls the electric field strength in the motor. As more load is put on the motor, the motor's speed decreases, increasing slip, and increasing the electric field strength.
