The torque (T) is developed in a three phase induction motor depends upon the following three factors:

  1. As First, the rotating magnetic field which is responsible to produce Induced EMF in the rotor(φ)
  2. Magnitude of rotor current in motor running condition (I2),
  3. The power factor of rotor of the three phase induction motor (cosθ2).

With all relationship we can expressed as mathematical term

Torque Equation of Three Phase Induction Motor

Where,

T is the torque produced by induction motor,

φ is magnetic flux ,

I2 is rotor running current,

cosθ2 is the power factor of rotor during running condition.

The flux φ produced by the stator is proportional to stator emf supply voltage E1.

As we know the Induction motor works as stepdown transformer. Turns ratio K is defined as the ratio between the secondary voltage (rotor voltage) to primary voltage (stator voltage).
