10. 3-Phase Induction Motor
With AC system universally adopted, use of AC motor has been widened
considerably .
Available with bewildering multiplicity of types.

11. Induction Motor

12. General Principle
DC motor receives power by conduction ( brush, Commutator)
but an induction motor receives power by induction like a 2
winding transformer, So it is treated as Rotating Transformer

13. 2-Winding Transformer

14. Construction

15. A number of stampings slotted to receive winding
Carries 3 phase windings fed from 3 phase supply.
Wound for definite number of poles, P=2n,
n = no of slots /pole/phase.
Stator windings when supplied with 3 phase currents
produces a magnetic flux which is of constant magnitude
but rotates at synchronous speed Ns

20. Rotor
 Squirrel Cage rotor(Squirrel cage motor)
 Phase wound rotor ( Wound Motor)

21. Squirrel Cage is 90% of rotors.
Cylindrical laminated core with parallel slots for carrying
rotor conductors. Conductors are not bars but heavy
copper bar or Al or Alloys, Bars are welded to short
circuited end rings.
Not possible to add any external resistance ( for Starting
purposes)

22. Rotor Construction

23. Rotor ( Phase wound)
Rotor has 3 phase double layered distributed winding
consists of coil.
Other three terminals are bought out together and
connected to slip-rings mounted with shaft and
brushes.
3 brushes are connected to 3 phase star rheostat for
starting and speed control by means of Metal collar.
Brushes are automatically shifted to reduce frictional
losses and wear and tear.
Under normal running rotor is short circuited like Sq
cage motor

33. When the 3-phase stator windings, are fed by a 3-phase supply then a magnetic flux
of constant magnitude, but rotating at synchronous speed, is set up.
The flux passes through the air-gap, sweeps past the rotor surface and so cuts the
rotor conductors which, as yet, are stationary.
Due to the relative speed between the rotating flux and the stationary conductors,
an e.m.f. is induced in the latter, according to Faraday’s laws of electro-magnetic-
induction. The frequency of the induced e.m.f. is the same as the supply frequency.
Its magnitude is proportional to the relative velocity between the flux and the
conductors
and its direction is given by Fleming’s Right-hand rule.
Since the rotor bars or conductors form a closed circuit, rotor current is produced
whose direction, as given by Lenz’s law, is such as to oppose the very cause producing
it.
In this case, the cause which produces the rotor current is the relative velocity
between the rotating flux of the stator and the stationary rotor conductors. Hence, to
reduce the relative speed, the rotor starts running in the same direction as that of
the flux and tries to catch up with the rotating flux.
