slip ring motor have high starting torque compare to squirrel cage motor and have good speed control
also have high over loading capacity, smooth acceleration under heavy loads.

Ns = 120f/P
Slip=(Ns-Nr)/Ns
Ns = 1000 and Nr = 960
from equation of slip, S = (1000-960)/1000
S = 0.04 or 4%
Over excitation : leading current
Under excitation : lagging current
Normal excitation : current with unity PF (in phase current)
