When Stator and Rotor windings of a 2-pole rotating electrical machine are excited, each would produce a sinusoidal mmf distribution in the air gap with peak values Fs and Fr respectively. The rotor mmf lags stator mmf by a space angle $$\delta\;$$ at any instant as shown in Fig. Thus, half of stator and rotor surfaces will form one pole with the other half forming the second pole. Further, the direction of torque acting on the rotor can be clockwise or counter-clockwise. GATE EE 2003 Electrical Machines - Induction Machines Question 56 English The following Table gives four sets of statements as regards poles and torque. Select the correct set corresponding to the mmf axes as shown in Figure.
