Induction Motor - Structure - Squirrel Cage – no winding and slip ring

Induction Motor - Basic Concept - Rotor Frequency

Example A 208V, 10hp, 4 ploe, 50 Hz, Y-connected induction motor has a full-load slip of 5%. What is the synchronous speed of this motor? What is the rotor speed of this motor at the rated load? What is the rotor frequency of this motor at the rated load? What is the shaft torque of this motor at the rated load?

Induction Motor - Equivalent Circuit - Rotor voltage – Locked-rotor voltage Rotor frequency – Frequency of the induced voltage

Induction Motor – Equi. Circuit RR is constant but XR depend on S Rotor current flow Overall rotor impedance considered S Referring to stator side, considered turn ratio – new Rotor voltage

Induction Motor - Power and Torque -

Induction Motor - Power and Torque - No output voltage instead of mechanical force. Higher speed, higher friction, windage and stray losses. But component losses change inverse.

Example/Tutorial A 480V, 60Hz, 50hp, 3 phase induction motor is drawing 60A at 0.85 Pf lagging. The stator copper losses are 2 kW, and the rotor losses are 700W. The friction and windage losses re 600W, the core losses are 180W, and the stray losses are negligible.

Induction Motor - Power and Torque - Air gap needs R2/S and rotor copper loss needs R2

Induction Motor - Speed Control - Two methods Varying stator and rotor magnetic field speed - electrical frequency or changing the number of poles Varying slip - varying rotor resistance or terminal voltage

Induction Motor - Speed Control (pole changing)- Created two poles, N and S Created an extra poles by changing current polarity (only 2 speeds)

Induction Motor - Speed Control (Frequency) - With or without adjustment to the terminal voltage: Vary frequency, stator voltage adjusted – generally vary speed and maintain operating torque. Vary frequency, stator voltage maintained – able to achieve higher speeds but a reduction of torque. Could be combined together, easy way by introducing power electronic fields.

Induction Motor - Testing - There are basically 3 types of test in modeling induction motor parameters: No-load test DC test Locked rotor test or blocked rotor test Equivalent circuit element – R1, R2, X1, X2 and XM

Induction Motor - Testing (no load) - Measuring rotational losses and providing info about its magnetizing current (X1 + XM)

Due to the rotor speed close to sync speed, S small and higher rotational losses

Induction Motor - Testing (no load) -

Induction Motor - Testing (DC test) - To find R1 (stator resistance). Dc voltage is applied and adjusted to rated condition. Voltage and current flow are recorded.

Induction Motor - Testing (Locked rotor)- Steps: 1- locked 2- AC voltage is applied and currents flow is adjusted to full load condition 3- Measure voltage, current and power flow
