CONCATENATION t a = — = ratio of poles, / = supply frequency. Pull synchronous speed of the first motor then is: 43 (1) = n' of the second motor: (2) (3) At slip 5 and thus speed ratio (1 — s) of the first motor, its speed is: = (i -*)i> (4> and the frequency of its secondary circuit, and thus the frequency of the primary circuit of the second motor: tf', synchronous speed of the second motor at this frequency is: sSfQ = s 4; the speed of the second motor, however, is the same as that of the first motor, /S, hence, the slip of speed of the second motor below its synchronous speed, is: g _ M gj _. = i __ a**. i -t n J n \n n / and the slip of frequency thus is: Xl x .,-«(!-a), *' = s (1 + a) - a. (5) This slip of the second motor, $', becomes zero, that is, the couple reaches the synchronism of concatenation, for: (6)
