Introduction: The Induction Motor Is A Three Phase AC Motor and Is The Most
Introduction: The Induction motor is a three phase AC motor and is the most
widely used machine. Its characteristic features areo Simple and rugged construction
o Low cost and minimum maintenance
o High reliability and sufficiently high
efficiency
o Needs no extra starting motor and
need not be synchronized
An Induction motor has basically two parts Stator
and Rotor
The Stator is made up of a number of stampings with slots to carry three phase
windings. It is wound for a definite number of poles. The windings are geometrically
spaced 120 degrees apart. Two types of rotors are used in Induction motors - Squirrelcage rotor and Wound rotor.
We will now consider a stator structure depicted along with three phase windings. For
convenience, each phase is represented by a single coil (though the winding is
distributed in practice).The coil a-a represents the entire phase winding for phase a.
Similarly b-b and c-c represent the coils for phases b and c. Each phase winding
produces flux along its own flux axis and these axes are separated by 120 electrical
degrees. We will now determine the magnitude and direction of resultant flux
corresponding to three time instants say t1, t3 and t5.We know that the instantaneous
flux of each phase is given by-
