Motors

slip

Electrical equipment; Motors

The difference in speed between the rotating field of an induction motor and the actual rotor speed. Slip is usually expressed as a percentage of the synchronous speed.

speed no load (SNL)

Electrical equipment; Motors

Actual motor speed in rpm with no external load and specified terminal voltage.

speed load

Electrical equipment; Motors

The actual motor speed in RPM with a specified external load and specified terminal voltage and frequency.

speed regulation constant (Rm)

Electrical equipment; Motors

The slope of the speed-torque curve in rpm/oz.in. or rpm/Nm. Rm = R/KeKt.

stall current (Is)

Electrical equipment; Motors

This is the current at stall (locked rotor) with rated voltage applied. Is = Volts/Rt.

stall torque (Ts)

Electrical equipment; Motors

This is the actual torque at the output shaft under stall (locked rotor) conditions. Ts = (KtIs)-Tf.

starting current (Ias)

Electrical equipment; Motors

The minimum current necessary to overcome static friction torque and start motor rotation.
