This document discusses repulsion motors. It begins with an introduction and overview of repulsion motors and then discusses their construction, types, advantages, disadvantages, and applications. Repulsion motors work on the principle of magnetic repulsion between the stator and rotor fields. They are single phase motors where the rotor is connected to a commutator and brush assembly similar to a DC motor. The document describes the construction of a basic repulsion motor and then discusses types like compensated, repulsion-start induction-run, and repulsion induction motors. Advantages include ability to operate at higher voltages but disadvantages include commutator wear and poor power factor at low speeds. Applications mentioned are high speed lifts, fans, pumps, hoists

3. Repulsion motors are classified under single
phase motors. In magnetic repulsion motors the
stator windings are connected directly to the ac
power supply and the rotor is connected to
commutator and brush assembly, very similar
to that of DC armature.
Repulsion Motor

4. Construction of Repulsion Motor:
• Repulsion motors are based on the principle
of repulsion between two magnetic fields.
•Consider a 2-pole motor with a vertical
magnetic axis.The armature is connected to a
commutator and brushes.
•The brushes are short circuited using a low-
resistance jumper.
•When alternating current is supplied to the field
(stator) winding, it induces an electromotive
force (emf) in the armature.

5. Construction of Repulsion Motor:
• The direction of alternating current is
such that it creates a north pole at the
top and a south pole at the bottom. The
direction of induced emf is given by
Lenz's law,
•according to which the direction of
induced emf opposes the cause
producing it. The induced emf induces
current in the armature conductors and
the direction of the induced current
depends on the position of the brushes.

7. Types of Repulsion Motor
The various types of motors which works under
the repulsion principle are :
 Compensated repulsion motor
 Repulsion-start Induction-run motor
 Repulsion Induction motor

8. Types of Repulsion Motor
Compensated repulsion motor :
• It carries an additional winding, called
compensating winding.
• There is another set of two brushes which
are placed midway between the usual
short circuit brush set.
• The compensating winding and this
added set of brushes are connect in series.

9. Types of Repulsion Motor
Repulsion-start Induction-run motor:
This motor starts as a repulsion motor, but normally
run as an induction motor, with constant speed
characteristics. It consist,
• One stator
• One rotor which is similar to the wire-wound d.c
armature
• A commutator and
• A centrifugal mechanism which short-circuits the
commutator bars.

10. Types of Repulsion Motor
Repulsion Induction motor :
It works on the combined principle of repulsion
and induction. It consist,
• Stator winding
• Two rotor winding : one squirrel cage and other
usual d.c winding connected to the commutator
and
• A short-circuit set of two brushes.

11. Advantage of Repulsion Motor
Most commutator motors are limited to
about 1,500 volts because higher voltages give
rise to a risk of arcing across the commutator.
Repulsion motors can be used at higher voltages
because the rotor circuit is not electrically
connected to the supply.

12. Disadvantages of Repulsion
Motor:
 Occurrence of sparks at brushes.
 Commutator and brushes wear out quickly.
This is primarily due to arcing and heat
generated at brush assembly.
 poor power factor at low speeds.
 No load speed is very high and dangerous.

13. Application of Repulsion motors :
• high speed lift
• fans & pumps

14. Application of Repulsion motors :
• Hoists
• Air Compressors
• Mining Equipment
