🔍 Key Concepts

• Induction motor torque and current vs. voltage (what happens to current when voltage is too low or too high) • Heating in windings due to I²R losses (current squared times resistance) • Nameplate ratings: rated voltage, rated current, rated temperature rise

💭 Think About

• If you reduce the supply voltage but keep the mechanical load the same, what must happen to the motor current and slip? How does that affect heating? • If you raise the supply voltage above the nameplate rating, how does that affect magnetizing current, core losses, and temperature? • Think about which condition(s) will increase current or losses enough to cause the motor to run hot in normal service.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check how current changes when a loaded induction motor is run at less than rated voltage. • Check how magnetizing current and core losses behave when the motor is run at higher than rated voltage. • Confirm which of the two conditions can realistically overheat the motor under normal load, not just change speed or torque.
