    3 Phase Induction Motors

    Three-phase induction motors are commonly used in industry due to their simple and rugged design. They operate by using a rotating magnetic field produced by the three-phase stator windings to induce currents in the rotor windings. The rotor then lags slightly behind the rotating field at a speed called the slip speed. Induction motors always operate at a speed slightly below synchronous speed. They can operate as motors or generators depending on whether the rotor speed is below or above synchronous speed.

    Modes of induction motor

    Introduction
    Three-phase induction motors are the most common and frequently encountered machines in industry
    simple design, rugged, low-price, easy maintenance wide range of power ratings: fractional horsepower to 10 MW run essentially as constant speed from no-load to full load Its speed depends on the frequency of the power source
    not easy to have variable speed control requires a variable-frequency power-electronic drive for optimal speed control

    Construction
    An induction motor has two main parts
    a stationary stator
    consisting of a steel frame that supports a hollow, cylindrical core core, constructed from stacked laminations (why?), having a number of evenly spaced slots, providing the space for the stator winding

    Stator of IM

    Construction
    a revolving rotor
    composed of punched laminations, stacked to create a series of rotor slots, providing space for the rotor winding one of two types of rotor windings conventional 3-phase windings made of insulated wire (wound-rotor) similar to the winding on the stator aluminum bus bars shorted together at the ends by two aluminum rings, forming a squirrel-cage shaped circuit (squirrel-cage)

    Two basic design types depending on the rotor design


    squirrel-cage: conducting bars laid into slots and shorted at both ends by shorting rings. wound-rotor: complete set of three-phase windings exactly as the stator. Usually Y-connected, the ends of the three rotor wires are connected to 3 slip rings on the rotor shaft. In this way, the rotor circuit is accessible.

    CONSTRUCTION OF SQUIRREL CAGE ROTOR


    The squirrel cage is made of hollow copper rods soldered to two disks making a cage, which is free to rotate. A solid plate of copper is being held just above a coil surrounding an iron core. The rotor consists of a cylindrical laminated core with parallel slots for carrying the rotor conductors

    Rotating Magnetic Field


    Balanced three phase windings, i.e. mechanically displaced 120 degrees form each other, fed by balanced three phase source A rotating magnetic field with constant magnitude is produced, rotating with a speed

    Rotating Magnetic Field

    Rotating Magnetic Field

    Principle of operation
    This rotating magnetic field cuts the rotor windings and produces an induced voltage in the rotor windings Due to the fact that the rotor windings are short circuited, for both squirrel cage and wound-rotor, and induced current flows in the rotor windings The rotor current produces another magnetic field A torque is produced as a result of the interaction of those two magnetic fields

    ind kBR Bs
    Where ind is the induced torque and BR and BS are the magnetic flux densities of the rotor and the stator respectively

    Induction motor speed


    At what speed will the IM run?
    If rotor runs at the synchronous speed, which is the same speed of the rotating magnetic field, then the rotor will appear stationary to the rotating magnetic field and the rotating magnetic field will not cut the rotor. So, no induced current will flow in the rotor and no rotor magnetic flux will be produced so no torque is generated and the rotor speed will fall below the synchronous speed When the speed falls, the rotating magnetic field will cut the rotor windings and a torque is produced

    Induction motor speed


    So, the IM will always run at a speed lower than the synchronous speed The difference between the motor speed and the synchronous speed is called the Slip

    nslip nsync nm
    Where nslip= slip speed nsync= speed of the magnetic field nm = mechanical shaft speed of the motor

    The Slip
    s
    Where s is the slip Notice that : if the rotor runs at synchronous speed s=0 if the rotor is stationary s=1 Slip may be expressed as a percentage by multiplying the above eq. by 100, notice that the slip is a ratio and doesnt have units

    nsync nm nsync

    Torque
    While the input to the induction motor is electrical power, its output is mechanical power and for that we should know some terms and quantities related to mechanical power Any mechanical load applied to the motor shaft will introduce a Torque on the motor shaft. This torque is related to the motor output power and the rotor speed

    Induction Motors and Transformers


    Both IM and transformer works on the principle of induced voltage
    Transformer: voltage applied to the primary windings produce an induced voltage in the secondary windings Induction motor: voltage applied to the stator windings produce an induced voltage in the rotor windings The difference is that, in the case of the induction motor, the secondary windings can move Due to the rotation of the rotor (the secondary winding of the IM), the induced voltage in it does not have the same frequency of the stator (the primary) voltage

    Power losses in Induction machines


    Copper losses
    Copper loss in the stator (PSCL) = I12R1 Copper loss in the rotor (PRCL) = I22R2

    Core loss (Pcore) Mechanical power loss due to friction and windage

    MODES OF OPRATION INDUCTION MOTOR It acts like as generator and break when the rotor run faster than its synchronous speed an induction motor runs as a generator called a induction generator.

    MODES OF OPRATION INDUCTION MOTOR In induction motor if we change any of the stator the direction of the revolving flux as well as torque reversed thus Appling break of the motor during this plugging period the motor acts as break.
