Unstable Region (BC)
When s increases further from sm the region is unstable
region, s is high (between sm and 1) , R22 can be neglected
as compared to s2X22

Torque-Slip Characteristics
• Normal Region (AD)
– Low slip region, the motor can continuously operated in this
region.
• Three torques:
•Starting torque (Tst)
•Maximum torque or pull out torque(Tm)
•Full load torque(Tfl)
Hysteresis Losses
• Occur due to alternate change in magnetic field in the stator
core.
• Can be minimized by selecting high grade silicon steel as the
material

Torque-Slip Characteristics
Eddy Current Losses
• Occur due to flow of eddy current through body of the stator
core.
• Can be minimized by using laminated construction of the
stator core
