What will happen if the induction motor runs at synchronous speed?



Answer:
An induction motor cannot run at synchronous speed.
If it runs at synchronous speed, there would be no cutting of the flux by the rotor
conductors and there would be no induced EMF, no current and no torque.
Therefore, the rotor of the induction motor rotates at a speed slightly less than the synchronous speed.
