Rotor speed: The actual speed at which the rotor of an induction motor is rotating.
Synchronous speed: The theoretical speed at which the rotating magnetic field in the stator of an induction motor rotates. It is determined by the frequency of the power supply and the number of poles in the motor.
Slip speed: The difference between the synchronous speed and the rotor speed of an induction motor. It is the speed at which the rotor is slipping behind the rotating magnetic field in the stator.
Slip: Slip is a measure of the difference between the synchronous speed and the actual rotor speed of an induction motor. It is expressed as a percentage and is used to determine the efficiency and performance of the motor. A higher slip indicates lower efficiency and vice versa.

Rotor Speed (Nr): The actual rotational speed of the rotor.
Synchronous Speed (Ns): The theoretical speed at which the rotating magnetic field in the stator would rotate. It is directly proportional to the frequency of the supply voltage and the number of stator poles.
Slip Speed (Nslip): The difference between the synchronous speed (Ns) and the rotor speed (Nr): Nslip = Ns - Nr
Slip (s): The ratio of the slip speed to the synchronous speed, expressed as a percentage: s = (Nslip / Ns) x 100%
Slip measures the amount of deviation from synchronous speed. A high slip indicates a large difference between synchronous speed and rotor speed, while a low slip indicates a close alignment.
