1 Performance Characteristics
The equivalent circuits can be used to predict the performance characteristics of the induction machine. The important performance characteristics in the steady state are: - efficiency - power factor - stator current - starting torque - maximum torque (pull-out), etc

2 Performance Characteristics
Eqn. X

3 Performance Characteristics
*eqn. X At high slip At low slip At low slip, torque proportional to slip s At high slip, torque inverse proportional to slip

4 Note if approximate circuit is used to get the equation of torque, then

5 T – N Single frequency characteristic
2 Select one frequency () Select V1 Varies s ( at particular s, get T) Repeat for other s to get T

6 T – N Single frequency characteristic

7 T – N Single frequency characteristic
As slip is increased from zero (synchronous), the torque rapidly reaches the maximum. Then it decreases to standstill when the slip is unity. At synchronous speed, torque is almost zero. At standstill, torque is not too high, but the current is very high. Thus the VA requirement of the IM is several times than the full load. Not economic to operate at this condition. Only at “low slip”, the motor current is low and efficiency and power factor are high.

8 Maximum Torque Differentiate eqn. dT/ds, and equate to zero
If R1 small Increase R2, increase slip max, increase staring torque If R1 small Varying R2

9 Maximum Torque Maximum air gap power transfer occurs at impedance matching principle – Another approaches Rext to be added to produce Tmax at starting, ie at s = 1 is R ext

It requires to reduce speed to 1000 rpm by inserting resistance in rotor circuit. Determine the value of resistance if the rotor winding resistance / phase is 0.2 ohms. Neglect rotational losses.

15 Wound Rotor By changing the impedance (R) connected to the rotor circuit, the speed/current and speed/torque curves can be altered. Used primarily to start a high inertia load or a load that requires a very high starting torque across the full speed range with relatively low current from zero speed to full speed Slip ring

17 Classes of Squirrel-Cage Motor
To meet the various starting and running requirements of a variety of industrial applications, several standard ( T vs. N) designs of squirrel-cage motors are available from manufacturer’s stock. The most significant design variable in these motors is the effective resistance of the rotor cage circuit ( for wound rotor)

18 Class A Motors Characterized by normal starting torque, high starting current and low operating slip. Low rotor circuit resistance and therefore operate efficiently with a low slip (0.005<s<0.015) at full load. Suitable for applications where the load torque is low at start (such as fan or pump) so that full speed is achieved rapidly, thereby eliminating the problem of overheating during starting. In larger machines, low voltage starting is required to limit the starting current.

19 Class B Motors Characterized by normal starting torque, low starting current and low operating slip. The starting current is about 75 % of that for class A. The starting current is reduced by designing for relatively high leakage reactance by using either deep-bar rotors or double- cage rotors. The full load slip and efficiency are as good as those of class A motors. Good general-purpose motors and have a wide variety of industrial applications. Suitable for constant speed drives. Examples are drives for fans, pumps, blowers, and motor-generator sets.

20 Class C Motors Characterized by high starting torque and low starting current. A double-cage rotor is used with higher rotor resistance than is found in class B motors. The full-load slip is somewhat higher and the efficiency lower than for class A and class B motors. Class C motors are suitable for driving compressors, conveyors, crushers, and so forth.

21 Class D Motors Characterized by high starting torque, low starting current and high operating slip. The torque-speed characteristic is similar to that of a wound-rotor motor with some external resistance connected to the rotor circuit. The full-load operating slip is high (8 to 15 %), and therefore the running efficiency is slow. The high losses in the rotor circuit require that the machine be large (and hence expensive) for a given power. Suitable for driving intermittent loads requiring rapid acceleration and high impact loads. In the case of impact loads, a flywheel is fitted to the system which delivers some of its kinetic energy during the impact.

23 Speed control of induction machine
Given a load T–N characteristic, the steady-state speed can be changed by altering the profile of T–N of the motor: Rotor Resistance control For wound rotor only Pole changing Synchronous speed change with changes number of poles (change the stator winding/coil connection) Discrete step change in speed/ expensive Variable line voltage (amplitude), variable frequency .
