A separately excited $$dc$$ machine is coupled to a $$50Hz,$$ three-phase, 4-pole induction machine as shown in the figure. The dc machine is energized first and the machines rotate at $$1600$$ $$rpm.$$ Subsequently the induction machine is also connected to a $$50Hz,$$ three-phase source, the phase sequence being consistent with the direction of rotation.
