A three-phase slip-ring induction motor, provided with a commutator winding, is shown in
the figure. The motor rotates in clockwise direction when the rotor windings are closed.
If the rotor winding is open circuited and the system is made to run at rotational speed fr with
the help of prime-mover in anti-clockwise direction, then the frequency of voltage across slip
rings is f1 and frequency of voltage across commutator brushes is f2. The values of f1 and f2
respectively are

A 3 phase, 50 Hz, 6 pole induction motor has a rotor resistance of 0.1 Ω and reactance of
0.92 Ω. Neglect the voltage drop in stator and assume that the rotor resistance is constant.
Given that the full load slip is 3%, the ratio of maximum torque to full load torque is
