rps=400*60=24000=Ns.

P = 2
Ns = 120f/p.
120*f/Ns*p.
f = Ns*p/120,
f = 24000*2/120,
f = 400.

Frequency = 1 cycles/second.
1 cycles/second = 1 Hertz.

Cycles is the same revolution or rotation.

Here given data is:

No. of poles = 2;

Speed (N) = 400 rps;

Usually speed is calculated in rpm. So here we convert 400 rps (revolution per second) in terms of rpm (revolutions per minute).

As 1 min = 60 sec; we multiply 400x60 rpm;

As we know N = 120f/p.

f = np/120;

f = 400x60x2/120.

f = 400 hz.

So hope no one has any doubts regarding this explanation.

1rpm=60rps.
so 1rps 1/60 rpm and,
400rps=400 * 1/60 rps.

I think the answer is wrong @Kiran.

Its a number of poles.

Please any one tell from where 2 is came?

As we all know,

Ns = ( (120 * f) /p); Here Ns is in rpm. Therefore,

Ns = Ns/60 rps.

So,

Ns = ((2 * f)/p),
And f = ((p * ns)/2),

f = 2 * 400/2,

f = 400Hz.

How did you guys get that 120?

Fatima said:   9 years ago
@Hassan.

Formula contains Ns syncronous speed ,Ns = (( 120 * f ) /p).

Great job @Jansi.
