About This Tool
This tool converts slip percentage and derives speeds for induction motors using standard electrical engineering formulas. It accepts frequency in Hz, pole count, and either slip percentage or rotor speed, then computes synchronous speed and the corresponding rotor speed or slip. The results are presented as numeric values suitable for engineering records and specifications. The tool helps engineers quickly validate performance targets during motor selection, commissioning, and fault analysis. It differentiates between two input modes and includes robust input validation to prevent non-physical results. The approach is strictly model-based, focusing on core speed relations rather than transient dynamics. This makes it useful for classroom demonstrations, design reviews, and on-site speed verification where exact motor catalogs may be unavailable.
How to Use
Provide inputs: frequency f (Hz) and pole count P, then supply either slip s (%) or rotor speed n (rpm).
Choose input mode: use slip to compute speed, or use speed to compute slip.
Run calculation: the tool derives Ns, n, and s as applicable.
Review outputs: verify Ns and n against motor data and operating conditions.
Apply results: use values to assess load capability and control strategies.
