INDUCTION MOTORSINTRODUCTION • It was shown how amortisseur windings on a synchronous motor could develop a starting torquewithout necessity of supplying an external field current to them • Amortisseur windings work so well that a motor could be built without syn. motor’s main dc field circuit • A machine with only amortisseur winding is calledinduction machine, because the rotor voltage is induced in rotor windings rather than being physically connected by wires

INDUCTION MOTORSINTRODUCTION • Cutaway diagram of typical large cage rotor induction motor

INDUCTION MOTORSINTRODUCTION • Sketch of Cage Rotor

INDUCTION MOTORSINTRODUCTION • Typical wound rotors for induction motors, slip rings & bars connecting rotor windings to slip rings can be seen

INDUCTION MOTORSINTRODUCTION • Cutaway of a wound-rotor induction motor • Note:brushes and slip rings are shown, also rotor windings skewed to eliminate slot harmonics

INDUCTION MOTORSINTRODUCTION • Distinguishing feature:no dc field current required to run machine • Although it is possible to use an induction machine as either motor or generator, it has many disadvantages as a generator & so is rarely used as Gen. • INDUCTION MOTOR CONSTRUCTION • Same physical stator as syn. machine with different rotor construction • There are “cage rotor” & “wound rotor”

INDUCTION MOTORSCONSTRUCTION • A cage induction rotorconsists of a series of conducting bars laid into slots carved in face of rotor & shorted at either end by large shorting rings • This design is referred to as acage rotorbecause of conductors arrangement on rotor • A wound rotor has a complete set of 3 phase windings that are mirror images of windings on stator • The 3 phase of rotor windings are usually Y-connected and end of 3 rotor wires tied to slip rings on rotor shaft • The rotor currents accessible at stator brushes, where they can be examined & where extra resistance can be inserted into rotor circuit • This can be used to modify torque-speed characteristic of motor • Wound rotor motors more expensive, & require more maintenancedue to wearassociated with brushes & slip rings, therefore wound motor induction motors are rarely used

BASIC INDUCTION MOTOR CONCEPTS • Its operation is basically same as amortisseur windings on syn. motors • Development of Induced Torque • Again a BS is developed, which is rotating counter-clockwise in Figure of  next slide • Speed of magnetic field’s rotation is : nsync=120fe/p • voltage induced in a rotor bar: eind=(v x B).l v=velocity of bar relative to magnetic field B=magnetic flux density vector l= length of conductor in magnetic field

BASIC INDUCTION MOTOR CONCEPTS • Development of Induced Torque

BASIC INDUCTION MOTOR CONCEPTS • relative move of rotor w.r.t. BS result in an induced voltage in rotor bar • Velocity of upper rotor bars w.r.t. BS is to right • Induced voltage in upper bars is out of page,while induced voltage in the lower bars is into page • This results in a current flow out of upper bars & into lower bars • Since rotor assembly is inductive, peak rotor current flow produces a rotor magnetic field BR

BASIC INDUCTION MOTOR CONCEPTS • Induced torque in machine is: Tind =kBR x BS • resulting torque is counterclockwise & rotor accelerates in this direction • There is a finite upper limit on motor’s speed • If induction motor’s rotor were turning at syn. Speed, then rotor bars would be stationary relative to BS & there would be no induced voltage eind=0 no rotor current & BR=0  Tind=0 • Rotor will slow down, due to friction losses • An induction motor can speed up to near-syn. Speed, however it can never reach syn. speed

BASIC INDUCTION MOTOR CONCEPTS • Flowchart showing induction motor operation

BASIC INDUCTION MOTOR CONCEPTS • Note:in normal operation, both BR & BS rotate together at syn. Speed nsyncwhile rotor itself turn at a slower s peed • Concept of Rotor Slip • Voltage induced in rotor bar depends on relative speed of rotor with respect to BS • Since behavior of induction motor depends on motor voltage & current, it is more logical to talk about this relative speed • Two terms commonly used to define relative motion of rotor & BS, “slip speed” & “slip” • “slip speed” defined as difference between syn. Speed & rotor speed nslip=nsync-nm

BASIC INDUCTION MOTOR CONCEPTS • In which: nslip= slip speed of machine nsync= speed of magnetic fields nm= mechanical shaft speed of motor • “slip” is relative speed expressed on a per-unit or percentage basis: s=nslip/nsync (x100%) s= [nsync-nm] / nsync (x100%) or in terms of angular velocity: • s= [ωsync-ωm] / ωsync (x100%)

BASIC INDUCTION MOTOR CONCEPTS • If rotor turn at syn. speed  s=0 • while if rotor stationary  s=1 • all normal motor speeds fall somewhere between those 2 limits • mechanical speed of rotor shaft can be expressed in terms of syn. speed & slip • nm= (1-s)nsync or ωm=(1-s)ωsync

BASIC INDUCTION MOTOR CONCEPTS • Electrical Frequency on Rotor • An induction motor works by inducing voltages in rotor of machine& because of that sometimes calledrotating transformer • Like a transformer, primary (stator) induces a voltage in secondary (rotor) but : Unlike a transformer, secondary frequency is not necessarily same as primary frequency • If rotor of motor locked so that can not move, rotor will have the same frequency as stator

BASIC INDUCTION MOTOR CONCEPTS • on the other hand, if rotor turns at syn. Speed, frequency on rotor will be zero • what will rotor frequency be for any arbitrary rate of rotor rotation ? • at nm=0 r/min, rotor frequency fr=fe Hz, and slip s=1 • at nm=nsyn fr=0 and slip is s=0 • with any speed in between, rotor frequency is directly proportional to difference between speed of magnetic field nsync & speed of rotor nm S=[nsync-nm] / nsync • rotor frequency can be expressed as : fr=s fe

BASIC INDUCTION MOTOR CONCEPTS • alternative forms of last expression: • fr=[nsync-nm] / nsync . fe • since : nsync=120 fe/p  • fr= (nsync-nm)p/(120fe) fe • fr= p/120 (nsync-nm) • Example: A 208 V, 10 hp, 4 pole, 60 Hz, Y connected induction motor has a full-load slip of 5 percent • (a) what is syn. Speed of motor?

BASIC INDUC. MOTOR CONCEPTS….EXAMPLE: • (b) what is rotor speed of this motor at rated load? • (c) what is rotor frequency of this motor at rated load? • (d) what is shaft torque of this motor at rated load?

BASIC INDUCTION MOTOR CONCEPTS • SOLUTION: (a) nsync=120 fe/p=120x60/4=1800 r/min (b) nm=(1-s) nsync =(1-0.05)(1800)=1710 r/min (c) fr=s fe = 0.95 x 60=3 Hz or fr=p/120 (nsync-nm)=4/120 (1800-1710)=3 Hz • (d) Tload = Pout/ωm= [10 x 746]/[1710 x 2π x 1/60]= 41.7 N.m shaft load torque in English units: Tload=5252 P/n where T is in lb-feet , P in hp, and nmr/min Tload=5252 x 10 / (1710) = 30.7 lb . ft

EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT OF AN INDUCTION MOTOR • Basis of an induction motoris on induction of voltage & current in its rotor (Transformer Action) • equivalent circuit of an induction motoris very similar toequivalent circuit of a transformer • “induction motor” is called a “singly excited”machine (opposed to “doubly excited”syn. machine) since power is supplied to only “stator circuit”

EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT OF AN INDUCTION MOTOR • Since an induction motor does not have an independent field circuit, its model will not contain an internal voltage sourcesuch as internal generated voltage EAin a syn. Machine • The equivalent circuit of induction motorcan be derived from a knowledgeof“transformers”and from what already know about “variation of rotor frequency” with speedin induction motors • The induction motor model developed by starting with transformer model, and then realizing variable rotor frequency & other induction motor effects

EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT OF AN INDUCTION MOTOR • Transformer Model of an Induction Motor • Per-phase equivalent circuit of an induction motor

TRANSFORMER MODEL ofINDUCTION MOTOR • As shown there is certain resistance & self inductance in primary (stator) windingswhich must be represented in equivalent circuit of machine • Stator resistance called R1 & stator leakage reactance called X1 • These appear right at input to machine model • Flux in machine is the integral of applied voltage E1 • Curve of magneto-motive force versus flux, (magnetization curve) compared to similar curve for power transformer (next slide)

TRANSFORMER MODEL ofINDUCTION MOTOR • Magnetization curve of induction motor

TRANSFORMER MODEL ofINDUCTION MOTOR • Note:slope of induction motor’s magneto-motive force-flux curve is much shallower than curve of a good transformer • because there is an air gap in an induction motorwhich greatly increase reluctanceof flux path &therefore reduces coupling between primary & secondary windings • Higher reluctance caused by air gap means a higher magnetizing reactanceXM in equivalent circuit will have a much smaller value (larger susceptance BM) than its value in an ordinary transformer

TRANSFORMER MODEL ofINDUCTION MOTOR • Primary internal stator voltage E1 coupled to secondary ERby an ideal transformerwith an effective turns ratio aeff • Effective turns ratio aeffeasy to determined for a wound-rotor motor • ratio of conductors per phase on statorto conductors per phase on rotor,modified by any pitch & distribution factor differences • It is rather difficult to determine aeff clearlyin cage of a case rotor motorbecause there are no distinct windings on cage rotor

TRANSFORMER MODEL ofINDUCTION MOTOR • In either case there is an effective turns ratio for motor • Voltage ER produced in rotor in turn produces a current flow in shorted rotor (or secondary) circuit of machine • Primary impedance& magnetization currentof induction motor are very similar tocorresponding components in a transformer equivalent circuit • Induction motor equivalent circuit differs from transformer equivalent circuitprimarily in effects of varying rotor frequency on rotor voltage ERand secondarily inrotor resistance RR and jXR

ROTOR CIRCUIT MODEL • A voltage induced in rotor windings when 3 phase voltage applied to stator windings • The greater the relative motion between rotor & stator magnetic fields, the greater the resulting rotor voltage & rotor frequency • The largest relative motion occurs when rotor is stationary, called locked-rotor or blocked-rotor condition • So largest voltage & rotor frequency are induced in rotor at that condition (locked rotor)

ROTOR CIRCUIT MODEL • Smallest voltage (0 V) and frequency (0 Hz) occur when rotor moves at same speed as stator magnetic field (having no relative motion) • magnitude & frequency of induced voltage in rotor at any speed between these extremes is proportional to the slip of motor • If magnitude of induced rotor voltage at locked-rotor is ER0 magnitude at any slip : ER=s ER0 frequency of induced voltage: fr=sfe rotor has both resistance & reactance; RR a constant (except for ski effect) , reactance affected in a complicated way by slip

ROTOR CIRCUIT MODEL • reactance of an induction motor rotordepends on: inductance of rotor& frequency of voltage and current in rotor • XR=ωr LR = 2π fr LR (realizing : fr=sfr)  XR=2πsfeLR=s XR0(XR0:blocked-rotor reactance) • Resulted equivalent circuit of rotor:
