We use P = 120f/n, to obtain P, using nr, the rotor speed given to obtain the slip.

A.

P=\frac{120\times 60}{588} =12.245

But P should be an even number. Therefore, take P = 12. Hence

n_{s}=\frac{120f}{P} =\frac{120\times 60}{12} =600 r/min

The slip is thus given by

s=\frac{n_{s}-n_{r} }{n_{s} } =\frac{600-588}{600} =0.02

The rotor frequency is

f_{r} =sf_{s}=0.02\times 60=1.2 Hz

B.

P=\frac{120\times 600}{873} =82.47

Take P = 82.

n_{s}=\frac{120\times 600}{82} = 878.05 r/min
s=0.006
f_{r}=0.006\times 600=3.6 Hz
