A balanced three-phase supply is given to a $30 \mathrm{~kW}, 4$-pole, $400 \mathrm{~V}, 50 \mathrm{~Hz}$, wound rotor induction motor with Y-connected stator and rotor windings. The motor is driving a constant torque load. With shorted slip rings, the machine runs at 1476 rpm .

When an external non-inductive resistance of $0.27 \Omega$ per phase is connected in series in the rotor circuit, the steady-state speed drops to 1404 rpm .

Neglecting rotational losses, the actual per phase rotor winding resistance is $\_\_\_\_$ $\Omega$. (Round off to two decimal places)
