P=20, \quad P_{M}=8

 

P_{1}=20-8=12

 

P_{2}=20+8=28

From Eq. (9.81)   P_{M} / P=\left(1-\frac{3 n}{r}\right)

 

P_{M} / P=\frac{8}{20}=\frac{2}{5}=\left(1-\frac{3 n}{r}\right) ; \quad n=1, \quad r=5

Hence P_{1}  poles are suppressed

Speed (20 poles) =\frac{20 \times 50}{20}=300 rpm

Speed (28 poles) =\frac{20 \times 50}{28}=214.286 rpm
