Torque Equation of Induction Motor

The torque T, of an induction motor, is proportional to the product of stator flux per pole (Φ), rotor current (I), and the power factor of the rotor. The torque of an induction motor is due to the interaction of the rotor and stator fields and is dependent on the strength of the fields and their phase relationship.

Thus,
T ∝ I2Cos Φ2
Since rotor induced EMF/phase, E is proportional to the stator flux Φ.
i.e., E2 ∝ Φ
Therefore,
T ∝ E2 I2 Cos Φ2
But rotor current/phase,

Another Method :

Let, T = Torque developed by an induction motor. We know that the Rotor input,

The above equation is the torque equation for an induction motor under the running condition. So torque developed at any load condition can be obtained, by knowing the slip of the induction motor at that load condition.

Starting Torque :

The torque produced by the motor at the start is called starting torque, Tst. At start, N = 0 and hence slip, s = 1. Therefore, starting torque can be obtained by substituting s = 1 in equation (2), i.e., torque equation under the running condition.

Comparison of Torques :

The performance of the motor is sometimes expressed in terms of comparison of various torques such as full-load torque, starting torque, and maximum torque.

Relation Between Full-load and Maximum Torque :
