A 3 phase induction motor is controlled by voltage and frequency control such that the ratio V/f is constant. At 50 Hz, the speed is 1440 rpm. At 25 Hz, the speed is likely to be

  • A.about 1350 rpm
  • B.about 720 rpm
  • C.about 360 rpm
  • D.either (b) or (c)

Answer: B

In this case synchronous speed at 50 Hz is 1500 rpm. Therefore synchronous speed at 25 Hz is 750 rpm. Since slip is about 3 - 5%, speed is about 720 rpm.
