electricpy.machslip(mech, syn=60)[source]¶

Machine Slip Calculator.

Given the two parameters (mechanical and synchronous speed, or frequency) this function will return the unitless slip of the rotating machine.

$$\text{slip}=\frac{\text{syn}-\text{mech}}{\text{syn}}$$

Parameters:¶

mech : float¶

The mechanical frequency (or speed), of the rotating machine.

syn : float, optional¶

The synchronous frequency (or speed), defaults as a frequency set to 60Hz, default=60

Returns:¶

slip – The rotating machine’s slip constant.

Return type:¶

float
