motor. Induction motor was invented by Nicola Tesla (1856-1943) in 1888. Also known as asynchronous motor. It has a stator and a rotor mounted on bearings and separated from the stator by an air gap. It requires no electrical connection to the rotating member. Such motor are classified induction machines because the rotor voltage (which produce the rotor current and the rotor magnetic field) is induced in the rotor winding rather than being physically connected by wires. The transfer of energy from the stationary member to the rotating member is by means of electromagnetic induction. This motor is widely used by the industries because: - Rugged. - Simple construction. - Robust. - Reliable. - High efficiency. - Good power factor. - Require less maintenance - Easy to start. - Rotates itself without external assistant. - Less expensive than direct current motor of equal power and speed. The weaknesses of this machine are: - Low starting torque if compared to dc shunt motor. - Speed will be reduced when load increased. - Speed cant be changed without reducing efficiency. Small single phase induction motors (in fractional horsepower rating) are used in many household appliances such as: - Blenders - Lawn mowers - Juice mixers - Washing machines - Refrigerators Two phase induction motors are used primarily as servomotor in control system.
49
Large three phase induction motors (in ten or hundreds of horsepower) are used in: - Pumps - Fans - Compressors - Paper mills - Textile mills, and so forth. 3.2 INDUCTION MOTOR CONSTRUCTION
Unlike dc machine, induction machine have a uniform air gap. Composed by two main parts: - Stator - Rotor Figure 4.1 and 4.2 show the inside of induction machine.

Figure 3.2 Stator Construction The stator and the rotor are electrical circuits that perform as electromagnets. The stator is the stationary electrical part of the motor. The stator core of a NEMA motor is made up of several hundred thin laminations.
Figure 3.3:Stator core Stator Windings Stator laminations are stacked together forming a hollow cylinder. Coils of insulated wire are inserted into slots of the stator core.
51
Figure 3.4:Stator winding Each grouping of coils, together with the steel core it surrounds, form an electromagnet. Electromagnetism is the principle behind motor operation. The stator windings are connected directly to the power source.
Rotor Construction The rotor also consists of laminated ferromagnetic material, with slot cuts on the outer surface. The rotor are of two basic types : - Squirrel cage - Wound rotor Squirrel cage rotor It consist of a series of a conducting bars laid into slots carved in the face of the rotor and shorted at either ends by large shorting ring. This design is referred to as squirrel cage rotor because the conductors would look like one of the exercise wheels that squirrel or hamsters run on. Small squirrel cage rotors use a slotted core of laminated steel into which molten aluminums cast to form the conductor, end rings and fan blades. Larger squirrel cage rotors use brass bars and brass end rings that are brazed together to form the squirrel cage.
52
Skewing the rotor slots help to: - Avoid crawling (locking in at sub-synchronous speeds) - Reduce vibration Squirrel cage rotor is better than wound rotor because it is: - Simpler - More rugged - More economical - Require less maintenance
53
Figure 3.7 Wound rotor Has a complete set of three phase insulated windings that are mirror images of the winding on stator. Its three phase winding are usually wye connected and ends of three rotor wires are tied to a slip rings on the rotor shaft. The rotor winding are shorted through carbon brushes riding on the slip rings. The existence of rheostat enable user to modify the torque speed characteristic of the motor. It is used to adjust the starting torque and running speed. The three phase rheostat is composed of three rheostat connected in wye with a common lever. Lever is used to simultaneously adjust all the three rheostat arms. Eg: Moving rheostat to the zero resistance position shorts the resistor and simulates a squirrel cage motor. Are rarely used because: - More expensive than squirrel cage induction motor. - Larger than squirrel cage induction motor with similar power. - Require frequent maintenance due to wear associates to brushes and slip ring.

Figure 3.9:Wound rotor 3.3 ROTATING MAGNETIC FIELD When a three phase stator winding is connected to a three-phase voltage supply, three-phase currents will flow in the winding which induce three-phase flux in the stator. These flux will rotate at a speed called as Synchronous Speed, ns. The flux is called as rotating magnetic field.
55
120 f p
Rotating magnetic field will cause the rotor to rotate the same direction as the stator flux. Torque direction is always the same as the flux rotation. At the time of starting the motor, rotor speed is 0. The rotating magnetic field will cause the rotor to rotate from 0 speed to a speed that is lower than the synchronous speed. If the rotor speed is equal to the synchronous speed, there will be no cutting of flux and rotor current equals zero. Therefore, it is not possible for the rotor to rotate at ns. 3.4 SLIP AND ROTOR SPEED
Slip is defined as :
Slip can also represented in percent. The frequency of the rotor, fr is:
f r = sf
where s = slip f = supply frequency Example 1 Calculate the synchronous speed of a 3-phase induction motor having 20 poles when it is connected to a 50 Hz source. Solution
ns = 120 f 120 (50 ) = = 300 rpm p 20
Example 2
56
A 0.5 hp, 6-pole induction motor is excited by a 3 phase, 60 Hz source. If the full-load speed is 1140 rpm, calculate the slip. Solution
ns = 120 f 120 (60) = = 1200 rpm p 6 n n 1200 1140 s= s = = 0.05 = 5% ns 1200
Example 3 The 6-pole,wound-rotor induction motor is excited by a 3-phase, 60 Hz source. Calculate the frequency of the rotor current under the following conditions: (i) at standstill (ii) motor turning at 500 rpm in the same direction as the revolving field (iii) motor turning at 500 rpm in the opposite direction to the revolving field (iv) motor turning at 2000 rpm in the same direction as the revolving field Solution ns = 120f / p = 120(60/6) = 1200 rpm (i) n=0
s= ns n 1200 0 =1 = ns 1200
57
s=
fr = sf = -0.667 x 60 = -40 Hz (-ve means that the phase sequence of the voltages induced in the rotor winding is reversed) Example 4 A 3-phase, 4 pair of poles, 400kW,400V,60Hz induction motor is 780 rpm full-load speed. Determine the frequency of the rotor current under full load condition. Solution f rotor = sf n s=

f r = sf = 0.133 (60 ) = 8 Hz
3.5 PER-PHASE EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT OF THREE-PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR The per-phase equivalent circuit of a three-phase induction motor is just like a single phase transformer equivalent circuit. The difference is only that the secondary winding is short-circuited transformer it is open-circuited as a load is to be connected later. unlike in the

3.8 DETERMINATION OF CIRCUIT MODEL PARAMETER The parameter of the equivalent circuit can be determined from the results of a: - No load test - Blocked rotor test -.DC test The blocked rotor test: - To determine X1 and X2 - When combines with DC test, it also determines R2 - Test is performed by blocking the rotor so that it cannot turn and measuring the line voltage, line current and three phase power input to the stator - Connection for the test is shown in Figure 4.13
- To determine magnetizing reactance, Xm, and the combined core, friction and windage losses (these losses are essentially constant for all load condition) - The connection for the no load test are identical to those shown in Figure 12 - However, the rotor is unblocked and allowed to run unloaded at rated voltage and rated frequency DC test: - To determine R1 - Accomplished by connecting any two stator leads to a variable voltage DC source as
67
shown in Figure 4.14. - The DC source is adjusted to provide approximately rated stator current, and the resistance between two stator leads is determined from voltmeter and ammeter reading

3.9 STARTING OF INDUCTION MOTOR (i) Direct On Line Starter(DOL) - A widely-used starting method of electric motors. - The simplest motor starter. - A DOL starter connects the motor terminals directly to the power supply. - Hence, the motor is subjected to the full voltage of the power supply. - Consequently, high starting current flows through the motor. -This type of starting is suitable for small motors below 5 hp (3.75 kW). - Most motors are reversible or, in other words, they can be run clockwise and anticlockwise. - A reversing starter is an electrical or electronic circuit that reverses the direction of a motor automatically. - Logically, the circuit is composed of two DOL circuits; one for clockwise operation and the other for anti-clockwise operation. - It takes a starting current 6(six) times the full load current. - For large motor the high starting current causes voltage drop in the power system which may trip other motors in the systems. (ii)Star-Delta Starter - For star-delta connection the motor windings are connected in star during starting. - The connection is changed to delta when the motor starts running. - The starting current and starting torque of DOL started and start-delta connected motors are as follows: Example: DOL -6I and 2T Star-delta - 2I and 2T/3 - Thus it can be seen that the starting current and starting torque are both reduced. - The motor should be capable to start at such reduced torque with load. - The Star Delta starter can only be used with a motor which is rated for connection in delta operation at the required line voltage (iii)Autotransformer starter - An Auto transformer starter uses an auto transformer to reduce the voltage applied to a
70
motor during start. - The auto transformer may have a number of output taps and be set-up to provide a single stage starter, or a multistage starter. - Typically, the auto transformer would have taps at 50%, 65% and 80% voltage, enabling the motor to be started at one or more of these settings. - As the motor approaches full speed, the auto transformer is switched out of the circuit
