Concept

The slip of an induction motor is given by:

where, Ns = Synchronous speed

Nr = Rotor speed 

Explanation

The rotor frequency of a 3ϕ induction motor is given by:

When the rotor of a three-phase induction motor is in the blocked state (not rotating), the rotor speed, i.e. Nr = 0

s = 1

The rotor induced frequency is:

Supply frequency = Rotor frequency
