A 50-KW, 220V, 50 Hz, squirrel-cage three-phase induction motor is needed to rotate a mine conveyor belt drive. The motor starts sometimes under load, but most of the time is needed to run at rated speed and slip of 3.5%. Propose an appropriate design of this drive motor in order to suit the application. Motivate and then illustrate your design with suitable drawings and speed (slip)-torque graphs.
