ELECTRIC MOTOR

ELECTRIC MOTORAn electric motor is an electromechanical

device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.

The mechanical energy can be used to perform work such as rotating a pump

impeller, fan, blower, driving a compressor, lifting materials etc.

AC MOTOR: INDUCTION MOTOR

Most common motors in industry

Advantages: Simple design Inexpensive High power to weight ratio Easy to maintain Direct connection to AC power source

COMPONENTS OF INDUCTION MOTOR

A 3-phase induction motor has two main parts:

• A stator – consisting of a steel frame that supports a hollow, cylindrical core of stacked laminations. Slots on

the internal circumference of the stator house the stator winding.

• A rotor – also composed of punched laminations, with rotor slots for the rotor winding.

COMPONENTS OF INDUCTION MOTOR contd…

There are two-types of rotor windings:

• Squirrel-cage windings, which produce a squirrel-cage induction motor (most common)

• Conventional 3-phase windings made of insulated wire, which produce a wound-rotor induction motor (special characteristics)

Induction Motor: Operating Principle Operation of 3-phase induction motors is based upon the

application of Faraday’s Law and the Lorentz Force on a conductor.

Consider a series of conductors (length L) whose extremities are shorted by bars A and B. A permanent magnet moves at a speed v, so that its magnetic field sweeps across the conductors.

Operating Principle Contd… The following sequence of events takes place:1. A voltage E = BLv is induced in each conductor while it

is being cut by the flux (Faraday’s Law)2. The induced voltage produces currents which circulate

in a loop around the conductors (through the bars).3. Since the current-carrying conductors lie in a magnetic

field, they experience a mechanical force (Lorentz force).

4. The force always acts in a direction to drag the conductor along with the magnetic field.

Now close the ladder upon itself to form a squirrel cage, and place it in a rotating magnetic field – an induction motor is formed!

Induction Motor: Rotating Field Consider a simple stator with 6 salient poles -

windings AN, BN, CN. The windings are mechanically spaced at 120° from

each other. The windings are connected to a 3-phase source. AC currents Ia, Ib and Ic will flow in the windings, but

will be displaced in time by 120°. Each winding produces its own MMF,which creates a

flux across the hollow interior of the stator. The 3 fluxes combine to produce a magnetic field that

rotates at the same frequency as the supply.

Induction Motor: Stator Winding

In practice, induction motors have internal diameters that are smooth, instead of having salient poles.

In this case, each pole covers 180° of the inner circumference of the rotor (pole pitch = 180°).

Also, instead of a single coil per pole, many coils are lodged in adjacent slots.

The staggered coils are connected in series to form a phase group.

Spreading the coil in this manner creates a sinusoidal flux distribution per pole, which improves performance and makes the motor less noisy.

INDUCTION MOTOR : SLIP The difference between the synchronous speed and

rotor speed can be expressed as a percentage of synchronous speed, known as the slip.

s = (Ns – N) Ns

Where s = slip, Ns = synchronous speed (rpm), N = rotor speed (rpm)

• 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.

Induction Motor: Frequency induced in the rotor

The frequency induced in the rotor depends on the slip:

fR = s f

fR = frequency of voltage and current in the rotor

f = frequency of the supply and stator fields = slip

Induction Motor: Active Power Flow

Efficiency – by definition, is the ratio of output / input power: η = PL / Pe

Rotor copper losses: PJr = s Pr

Mechanical power: Pm = ( 1-s)Pr

Motor torque: Tm = 30Pr

πNs

Where: Pe = active power to stator Pr = active power supplied to rotor PL = Shaft Power

Power Losses

Induction Motor: Relationship between Load, Speed and Torque

At full speed: torque and stator current are zero

At start: high current and low “pull-up” torque

At start: high current and low “pull-up” torque

At 80% of full speed: highest “pull-out” torque and current drops
