Hi friends, in this article I am describing the importance of slip in induction motor and hoping you will find it informative and useful. In the induction motor rotor always rotates speed less than synchronous speed. The difference between the rotor speed (N) and the rotating magnetic flux speed (Ns) is called slip. The induction motor […]
The induction motor rotates due to the rotating magnetic field in induction motor, which is produced by the stator winding in the air gap between the stator and the rotor. The stator has a three phase stationary winding which can be either star connected or delta connected. Whenever the AC supply is connected to the
The AC induction motor is the dominant motor technology in use today, representing more than 90 percent of installed motor capacity. Induction motors are available in single-phase (1ϕ) and three-phase (3ϕ) configurations, in sizes ranging from fractions of a horsepower to tens of thousands of horsepower. They may run at fixed speeds – most commonly
Induction machines are also called asynchronous machines i.e. the machines which never run at a synchronous speed. Whenever we say induction machine we mean to say induction motor. Induction motors may be single-phase or three-phase. In this article, I am discussing about three phase induction motor construction. The three-phase induction motors are the most commonly used
A shaded pole motor is constructed with salient poles in the stator. Each pole has its exciting coil. A 1/3rd portion of each pole core is surrounded by a strap of copper forming a closed loop called the shading coil. The rotor is a usual squirrel cage type. The common form of these motors has only
In ac circuits, power is measured with the help of wattmeter. A wattmeter is an instrument, which consists of two coils called the potential coil (PC) and the current coil (CC). The potential coil having high resistance is connected across the load and carries the current proportional to the potential difference across the load. The current coil
In this method of interconnection, the dissimilar ends of three phase windings are joined together i.e. finishing end of one phase is connected to the starting end of the other phase and so on to obtain a closed circuit. The three line conductors are taken from the three junctions of mesh and are denoted by R,
If the three armature coils of a 3-phase alternator are not interconnected but are kept separate, as shown in Figure below, then each phase or circuit would need two conductors, the total number of conductors, in that case, being six. It means that each transmission cable would contain six conductors which will make the whole
Hi friends, In this article, I am discussing the eddy current loss, eddy current loss formula, its causes and applications. So let us start with our topic. What is eddy current loss? Whenever the magnetic flux linking to conducting material changes, voltages are induced in all possible paths and hence the induced currents are set up
Hi friends, in this article, I am going to discuss the hysteresis loss, hysteresis loop in the magnetic material in and their significance. So let us start. A ferromagnetic material consists of local regions called ‘domains,’ each of which is spontaneously magnetized. In an unmagnetized material, the directions of magnetization in different domains are different.
