4. INTRODUCTION BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA
Asynchronous machines are those machines which do not run at synchronous speed.
Most AC motors are induction motors. Induction motors are favored due to their ruggedness and simplicity. In fact, 90% of industrial motors are induction motors.
By induction motor, we mean that the stator windings induces a current which flow in the rotor conductors, like a transformer.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

5. Overview of Three-Phase Induction Motor
Induction motors are used worldwide in many residential, commercial, industrial, and utility applications.
Induction Motors transform electrical energy into mechanical energy.
It can be part of a pump or fan, or connected to some other form of mechanical equipment such as a winder, conveyor, or mixer.

7. The induction machines may be classified in many ways.
With rotary or linear motion
Three phase supply or single-phase supply
With wound or cage rotor
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

8. Construction
The three basic parts of an AC motor are the rotor, stator, and enclosure.
The stator and the rotor are electrical circuits that perform as electromagnets.

9. Construction
An induction motor is composed of a rotor, known as an armature, and a stator containing windings connected to a poly-phase energy source.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

10. Construction (Rotor construction)
The rotor is the rotating part of the electromagnetic circuit.
It can be found in two types:
Squirrel cage
Wound rotor
However, the most common type of rotor is the “squirrel cage” rotor.

11. Construction (Rotor construction)
Induction motor types:
Squirrel cage type:
Rotor winding is composed of copper bars embedded in the rotor slots and shorted at both end by end rings
Simple, low cost, robust, low maintenance
Wound rotor type:
Rotor winding is wound by wires. The winding terminals can be connected to external circuits through slip rings and brushes.
Easy to control speed, more expensive.

12. The main parts of any IM are:-
The stator slotted magnetic core
The stator electric winding
The rotor slotted magnetic core
The rotor electric winding
The rotor shaft with bearings
The stator frame with bearings
The cooling system
The terminal box

18. Constructional features of squirrel cage and wound type motor
Stator: The stator consists of stator frame, core and stator winding.
Stator frame:- It is the outer body of the motor used to support stator core and windings and also to protect the inner parts of the machine. The frame may be die-cast or fabricated.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

19. The thickness varies from 0.35 mm to 0.7 mm.
Stator core :- The stator core is assembled of high grade, low electrical loss, silicon steel punching.
The thickness varies from 0.35 mm to 0.7 mm.
The laminations are used to reduce eddy current loss.
The laminations are slotted on the inner periphery and are insulated from each other. The insulated stator conductors are placed in these slots.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

20. Stator or field winding:-
The stators conductors are connected to form a three phase winding. The three phases of the winding can be connected in either star or delta.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

21. The rotor conductor are placed in these slots.
The rotor comprises of a cylindrical laminated iron core with slots on outer periphery.
The rotor conductor are placed in these slots.
The laminated cylindrical core is mounted directly on the shaft or a spider carried by the shaft.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

22. BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA There are basically 2 types of rotor construction.
Squirrel Cage – No windings and no slip rings
Wound rotor - It has 3 phase windings, usually Y connected, and the winding ends are connected via slip rings
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

23. SQUIRREL CAGE ROTOR:-
In cage construction, rotor conductors, in the form of bars made of copper, or aluminium are placed in rotor slots parallel to the rotor shaft.
The rotor bars are short circuited by end rings of same material at each end.
The rotor slots are not parallel to the motor shaft but are skewed to reduce magnetic locking of stator and rotor and also to reduce humming noise while running.

BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

26. Wound rotor:-
The rotor is wound with an insulated winding similar to that of the stator.
The rotor winding is always 3 phase winding. The winding may be star or delta connected, but star connections are usually preferred.
The three terminals of star connections are brought outside the rotor and connected to three slip rings.
The carbon brushes are pressed on the slip rings. External resistors can be inserted in series with the rotor winding for speed and starting torque control.

BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

29. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Operation of 3-phase induction motors is based upon the application of Faraday’s Law and the Lorentz Force on a conductor.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

30. If a short circuited conductor is placed within a rotating magnetic field, an emf is induced in the conductor due to EMI.
Due to this emf, current starts flowing in the conductor and sets up its own magnetic field.
Due to the interaction of these two field, a torque is produced and conductor tends to move
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

31. How rotor rotates?
A three phase IM stator have a three phase distributed winding.
When we give supply to stator then a rotating magnetic field produces which rotates at synchronous speed.
The rotating flux cuts the rotor conductors and emf produced in them.
Because these conductors are short circuited so current is produced in conductors so rotor m.m.f is produced which produces synchronously rotating rotor poles.

36. SLIP
The difference between the synchronous speed and rotor speed can be expressed as a percentage of synchronous speed, known as the slip
s = slip, Ns = synchronous speed (rpm),
N = rotor speed (rpm)
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

37. SLIP RINGS AND BRUSHES IN IM
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

38. • At no-load, the slip is nearly zero (<0. 1%)
• At no-load, the slip is nearly zero (<0.1%). • At full load, the slip for large motors rarely exceeds 0.5%. For small motors at full load, it rarely exceeds 5%. • The slip is 100% for locked rotor.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

39. Frequency induced in the rotor
The frequency induced in the rotor depends on the slip:
fR= frequency of voltage and current in the rotor
f = frequency of the supply and stator field
s = slip
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

40. Torque- slip curve
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

41. Harmonics in Induction Machines
Time Harmonics:
These affects torque and cause considerable heating in the machine and are hence a cause for concern.
These harmonics are called time harmonics since they are generated by a source that varies non sinusoidally in time.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

42. Space Harmonics:
The space harmonics, are a result of non- sinusoidal distribution of the coils in the machine and slotting.
These have their effects on the speed, torque and current of the machine.

BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

45. Shaft power is the output power i.e. available at the shaft.
AIR GAP POWER:-
Air gap power is the power transferred from stator to rotor across the air gap.
Pg = 3I22 (r2 / s)
Shaft power :-
Shaft power is the output power i.e. available at the shaft.
Psh = Pg – rotor ohmic loss – friction and windage loss
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

46. Torque from light load to full load conditions.
OPERATING TORQUE:-
Torque from light load to full load conditions.
STARTING TORQUE:-
Torque at start when slip = 1
BREAKDOWN TORQUE:-
Maximum torque that motor can develop. If motor is loaded beyond this torque, the motor will decelerate and come to stand still.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

47. SPEED-TORQUE CHARACTERISTIC
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

48. Comments on the IM Torque Speed Curve
Induced Torque is zero at synchronous speed.
The graph is nearly linear between no load and full load (at near synchronous speeds).
Max torque is known as pull out torque or breakdown torque
Starting torque is very large.
Torque for a given slip value would change to the square of the applied voltage.
If the rotor were driven faster than synchronous speed, the motor would then become a generator.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

49. Braking an Induction Motor(Plugging)
Plugging is a braking action to bring the rotor to a quick stop. Plugging is obtained by interchanging any two stator leads.
With this the phase sequence is reversed and the direction of rotating magnetic field becomes opposite to that of the rotor rotation.
The electromagnetic torque now acts opposite to rotor rotation and produces braking action

Supply frequency control
Rotor resistance control
Slip energy recovery
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

55. Pole changing method:
We know that ns=120f/p . By changing the value of p speed can be changed.
By providing the stator with independent windings each wound for different member of poles. This results in two speed motor.
The stator is provided with one winding or with two independent windings, but coils of each winding can be re-connected to produce a different number of poles in the ratio of 2:1.
Two independent windings on the stator, each being designed to give different no. of poles in the ratio of 2:1 can give four different no. of poles in the ratio of 3:2:1.5:1 and thus, a four speed induction motor can be obtained.

61. Stator voltage control:-
The speed can be controlled by varying the supply voltage until the torque required by the load is developed at the desired speed.
The torque developed is proportional to the square of the supply voltage and current is proportional to the voltage.
Therefore, voltage is reduced to reduce speed for the same current, the torque developed by the motor is reduced.
This method is suitable where load torque decreases with speed e.g. fan load.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

62. Speed-torque curves: voltage variation
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

63. Variable frequency control:
The variable frequency supply is obtained by the following converter.
Voltage source inverter
Current source inverter
Cycloconverter
An inverter converts a fixed voltage d.c. to a fixed ( or variable ) voltage a.c. with variable frequency.
A Cycloconverter converts a fixed voltage and fixed frequency a.c. to a variable voltage and variable frequency a.c.

66. Rotor resistance control
This method is applicable to slip ring induction motor only.
The speed of motor can be controlled by connecting external resistance in the rotor circuit.
The starting torque increases with increase in resistance, the pull out speed of the motor decreases but the maximum torque remains constant, the speed can be controlled from the rated speed to lower speed.

69. Slip energy recovery a scheme
The basic principle of slip power recovery is to connect an external source of emf of slip frequency of the rotor circuit.
This method is known as scheribus scheme.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

70. A portion of rotor a.c. power is converted into d.c by a diode bridge.
The output of the rectifier is connected to the d.c. terminals of the inverter, which inverts this d.c. power to a.c. power and feeds it back to the a.c source. It provides the speed control synchronous speed.

71. Some important features of IM
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

72. Leakage reactance
Leakage reactance is the impedance due to the leakage flux.
More the leakage reactance more magnetizing current is required to obtain working m.m.f .
It also decreases the power factor and gives more losses in motor.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

73. COGGING:-
When number of slots of rotor and stator are equal, then a magnetic interlocking takes place and motor does not start. It occurs during starting of motor.
CRAWLING:-
In this phenomenon motor starts to run stably at speed lower than rated speed due to presence of harmonics. It occurs during running of motor.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

74. LOSSES IN AN IM FIXED LOSSES- These loses are composed of Core loss
Bearing friction loss
Brush friction loss in slip ring IM only
Windage loss
VARIABLE LOSSES-These losses are composed of

Brush contact loss only for slip ring IM
Stray load loss
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

75. The relationship between the input electric power and the output mechanical power of this motor is shown : elow
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

76. ROTATIONAL LOSSES
The higher the speed of an induction motor, the higher the friction, windage, and stray losses.
On the other hand, the higher the speed of the motor (up to nSYNC), the lower its core losses.
Therefore, these three categories of losses are sometimes lumped together and called rotational losses.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

78. Induction generator
If a polyphase IM is given a voltage and frequency for supply mains and rotate at speed higher than a synchronous speed by a prime mover, then rotor overtakes rotating magnetic field as a result emf and currents in rotor reverse their direction. This is called induction generator.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

79. Improving power factor of 3 phase IM
3-phase IM has an air gap between stator and rotor winding due to which motor needs high magnetizing current for the production of working magnetic flux.
Power factor can be improved by following methods.
Reducing the air gap between stator and rotor winding
By use of static capacitor across stator terminal
For wound motor, by use of auxiliary machines

82. SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MACHINE
PART-II
SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MACHINE
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

83. Single Phase Induction
Permanent-split capacitor motor
One way to solve the single phase problem is to build a 2-phase motor, deriving 2-phase power from single phase. This requires a motor with two windings spaced apart 90o electrical, fed with two phases of current displaced 90o in time. This is called a permanent-split capacitor motor in Figure

84. Main and Auxiliary windings

85. 1-Phase Induction Motor
This type of motor suffers increased current magnitude and backward time shift as the motor comes up to speed, with torque pulsations at full speed. The solution is to keep the capacitor (impedance) small to minimize losses. The losses are less than for a shaded pole motor.

86. 1-Phase Induction Motor
This motor configuration works well up to 1/4 horsepower (200watt), though, usually applied to smaller motors. The direction of the motor is easily reversed by switching the capacitor in series with the other winding. This type of motor can be adapted for use as a servo motor, described elsewhere is this chapter

87. Capacitor-start induction motor
In Figure a larger capacitor may be used to start a single phase induction motor via the auxiliary winding if it is switched out by a centrifugal switch once the motor is up to speed. Moreover, the auxiliary winding may be many more turns of heavier wire than used in a resistance split-phase motor to mitigate excessive temperature rise. The result is that more starting torque is available for heavy loads like air conditioning compressors. This motor configuration works so well that it is available in multi-horsepower (multi-kilowatt) sizes.

88. Capacitor-run motor induction motor
A variation of the capacitor-start motor Figure is to start the motor with a relatively large capacitor for high starting torque, but leave a smaller value capacitor in place after starting to improve running characteristics while not drawing excessive current. The additional complexity of the capacitor-run motor is justified for larger size motors.

89. 1-phase Capacitor start

90. Capacitor Start-Run Induction Motor
A motor starting capacitor may be a double-anode non-polar electrolytic capacitor which could be two + to + (or - to -) series connected polarized electrolytic capacitors. Such AC rated electrolytic capacitors have such high losses that they can only be used for intermittent duty (1 second on, 60 seconds off) like motor starting. A capacitor for motor running must not be of electrolytic construction, but a lower loss polymer type.

91. Resistance split-phase motor induction motor
If an auxiliary winding of much fewer turns of smaller wire is placed at 90o electrical to the main winding, it can start a single phase induction motor. With lower inductance and higher resistance, the current will experience less phase shift than the main winding. About 30o of phase difference may be obtained. This coil produces a moderate starting torque, which is disconnected by a centrifugal switch at 3/4 of synchronous speed. This simple (no capacitor) arrangement serves well for motors up to 1/3 horsepower (250 watts) driving easily started loads.

92. Wound rotor induction motors
A wound rotor induction motor has a stator like the squirrel cage induction motor, but a rotor with insulated windings brought out via slip rings and brushes. However, no power is applied to the slip rings. Their sole purpose is to allow resistance to be placed in series with the rotor windings while starting.
This resistance is shorted out once the motor is started to make the rotor look electrically like the squirrel cage counterpart.

93. Wound Rotor Induction M/C
Why put resistance in series with the rotor? Squirrel cage induction motors draw 500% to over 1000% of full load current (FLC) during starting. While this is not a severe problem for small motors, it is for large (10's of kW) motors. Placing resistance in series with the rotor windings not only decreases start current, locked rotor current (LRC), but also increases the starting torque, locked rotor torque (LRT).

94. Wound Rotor Induction M/C
Figure shows that by increasing the rotor resistance from R0 to R1 to R2, the breakdown torque peak is shifted left to zero speed. Note that this torque peak is much higher than the starting torque available with no rotor resistance (R0) Slip is proportional to rotor resistance, and pullout torque is proportional to slip. Thus, high torque is produced while starting.

95. Wound Rotor Induction M/C

96. Wound Rotor Induction M/C
The resistance decreases the torque available at full running speed. But that resistance is shorted out by the time the rotor is started. A shorted rotor operates like a squirrel cage rotor. Heat generated during starting is mostly dissipated external to the motor in the starting resistance. The complication and maintenance associated with brushes and slip rings is a disadvantage of the wound rotor as compared to the simple squirrel cage rotor.

97. Wound Rotor Induction
This motor is suited for starting high inertial loads. A high starting resistance makes the high pull out torque available at zero speed. For comparison, a squirrel cage rotor only exhibits pull out (peak) torque at 80% of its' synchronous speed

98. Speed Control
Motor speed may be varied by putting variable resistance back into the rotor circuit. This reduces rotor current and speed. The high starting torque available at zero speed, the down shifted break down torque, is not available at high speed. See R2 curve at 90% Ns, Resistors R0R1R2R3 increase in value from zero. A higher resistance at R3 reduces the speed further. Speed regulation is poor with respect to changing torque loads. This speed control technique is only useful over a range of 50% to 100% of full speed. Speed control works well with variable speed loads like elevators and printing presses.

BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

112. Why in split phase motor ,starting winding is connected through centrifugal switch?
Centrifugal switch automatically disconnected the starting winding at about to 80% of synchronous speed. If centrifugal switch is not used then starting winding remains in circuit which gives noisy performance.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

113. Difference between single phase induction motor and three phase induction motor .
Single phase induction motor are different from three phase induction motor in following aspects:
Single phase motors are not self starting while three phase induction motors self starting.
For same load torque, 1-φinduction motor requires more stator current and operates at a higher slip.
For the same size ,1-φinduction motor output is less. It has higher temperature rise and lower efficiency as compared to three phase induction motor.

BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

115. Why starting winding is required in single phase induction motor?
Single phase induction motor is not self starting . It provided with starting winding in addition to main winding to temporarily convert it into a two phase motor at the time of starting . The two currents produce a revolving flux and make the motor self starting.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

116. What is the role of shading coil in shaded pole motor?
Due to the presence of shading coil in shaded pole motor ,the shifting of magnetic axis takes place when an alternating current is passed through field winding .the rotor starts rotating in the direction of this shift i.e. from unshaded part to the shaded part.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

117. In what direction will the rotor of shaded pole motor rotate?
The rotor of a shaded pole motor will rotate in a direction from the unshaded part to the shaded part.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

118. How is the direction of rotation of a single phase induction motor reversed?
The direction of rotation can be reversed by reversing the line connections of either the main winding or the starting winding .
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

119. Why single phase capacitor type induction motor are superior in performance?
The single phase capacitor type induction motors has relatively good starting torque, high power factor because the phase angle between the running winding current and the starting winding current is practically 90 electrical degree.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

120. Why power factor of single phase motor is lagging?
The main reason of lagging power factor is high magnetizing current which is lagging in nature .single phase motor carries magnetizing current for both forward and backward fields. Therefore ,this magnetizing current is higher than 3 phase induction motor.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

121. What is the effect of increasing rotor resistance in a single induction motor ?
The increase in rotor resistance of a single phase induction motor reduces its breakdown torque , lower the efficiency and increases the slip at which maximum torque occurs.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

122. A single phase induction motor is provided with a main winding and an auxiliary winding . Which of the two winding should be more resistance and why?
The auxiliary winding should be more resistance to give higher starting torque . As this winding stays in the circuit at the time of starting only , so does not affect the copper losses in the machine.

Fig.(c), α=180 ̊
Schematic diagram shown in fig.(a). when angle α is 90̊ then there is no mutual induction between stator and rotor. So no torque will be produced as shown in fig(b) .
When angle α=0 then magnetic axis of stator and rotor coincides so mutual induction between stator and rotor will be maximum as in fig(c).
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

125. What are the two position of brushes at starting in which the repulsion motor does not develop the starting torque?
The field axis and quadrature to field axis position of the brushes are such in which repulsion motor does not developed any starting torque.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

126. How speed variation is affected in repulsion motor?
The speed variation is affected either by changing the position of brushes or by varying the impressed voltage
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

127. What happens when the shaft torque of a repulsion motor with two stator windings increases?
With the increases in torque on a repulsion motor stator current increases and power factor decreases.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

128. Why laminated yoke is used in an a.c series motor?
Yoke , pole and armature cores of a.c series motors are laminated so as to reduce eddy current losses, and so efficiency is improved and heating is reduced.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

129. Why centrifugal switch is provided in repulsion start induction motor?
The centrifugal switch is provided to short circuit all the commutator segments at about percent of synchronous speed. It is also used to lift the brushes from the commutator in some motors.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

130. Why is the normal full load slip of a single phase induction motor higher than that of a three phase induction motor?
The normal full load slip of a single phase induction motor is higher than that of a three phase motor, owing to development of backward rotating field . The power is to be delivered to the backward field from the power converted into mechanical power by forward field.
BHSBIET LEHRAGAGA

131. What are the advantage of using a capacitor start motor over a resistance start split phase motor?
The capacitor start motor develops higher starting torque than does an equally rated resistance start split phase with a lower in rush current.
