Formula for Synchronous Speed

The below mathematical formula is used in this calculator to find the synchronous speed (N_s) of an induction motor

Solved Example

The below step by step solved example problem may helpful for users to understand how the input values are being used in such calculations.
Example Problem
Find the synchronous speed (N_s) of an induction motor whose line frequency f = 140 Hz & number of poles p = 12?
Solution
The given data
f = 140 Hz
p = 12

Step by step calculation
Formula to find N_s = 120f/p
substitute the values in the formula
= (120 x 140)/12
n_s = 1400 rpm
