           Most squirrel cage induction motors will have a percentage slip of 2 to 5 percent of the rated load.
           Example

           Calculate the percentage slip of an induction motor having 6 poles fed with 50 cycles supply rotating with an
           actual speed of 960 r.p.m.
           Given:

               Poles (P)  =  6
               N       =  Rotor speed = 960 r.p.m.
                 r

           Torque : The torque production in an induction motor is more or less the same as in the DC motor. In the DC motor
           the torque is proportional to the product of the flux per pole and the armature current. Similarly in the induction
           motor the torque is proportional to the flux per stator pole, the rotor current and also the rotor power factor.
           Thus we have,
           Torque is proportionally = Stator flux  x  rotor current x rotor power factor.

                       R  2          be the rotor resistance
                       X             be the rotor inductive reactance at standstill
