Insulation used in the windings are classified based on the
temperature it can withstand.
Motors must be operated within the allowable maximum temperature
Sources of power losses (hence temperature increase):
- Conductor heat losses (i2R)
- Core losses – hysteresis and eddy current
- Friction losses – bearings, brush windage

39. Type of Loads
• Load torque can be of two types
• Active load torque:- Active torques continues to act in the
same direction irrespective of the direction of the drive. e.g.
gravitational force or deformation in elastic bodies.
• Passive load torque:- the sense of the load torque changes
with the change in the direction of motion of drive. e. g. torques
due to friction, due to shear and deformation of inelastic bodies
40. Type of Loads (Cont.)
• It is a passive load to the motor.
• Load torque is independent of the
speed of the motor.
• Characterized by the requirement
of an extra torque at very near
zero speed.
• It is also known as break away
torque or stiction.
41. Type of Loads (Cont.)
• Torque is directly proportional
to the speed.
• Calendaring machines, eddy
current brakes and separately
excited dc generators feeding
fixed resistance loads have such
characteristics.
Viscous Friction Load
43. Type of Loads (Cont.)
• Load torque magnitude is proportional
to some power of speed.
• Centrifugal pumps, propeller in ships
or aeroplanes, fan or blower type of
load has such characteristics.
• For fan,
Fan type Load
44. Types of Load (Cont.)
• Hyperbolic speed-torque
characteristics, where load
torque is inversely
proportional to speed or
load power is constant.
Certain type of lathes,
boring machines, milling
machines, steel mill coilers
etc are having this type of
load characteristics.
Constant Power Load
45. Types of Load (Cont.)
• Load torques that vary with time
Load variation with time can be periodic and repetitive in certain
applications.
• One cycle of the load variation is called a duty cycle.
• The variation of load torque with time has a greater importance in
the selection of a suitable motor.
Classification of loads that vary with time:
(a) Continuous, constant loads: Centrifugal pumps or fans operating
for a long time under the same conditions, paper making machines
etc.
(b) Continuous, variable loads: Metal cutting lathes, hoisting
winches, conveyors etc.
46. Type of Loads (Cont.)
• (c) Pulsating loads: Reciprocating pumps and compressors, frame
saws, textile looms and generally all machines having crank shaft.
(d) Impact loads: Apparent, regular and repetitive load peaks or
pulses which occurs in rolling mills, presses, shearing machines,
forging hammers etc. Drives for such machines will have heavy fly
wheels.
(e) Short time intermittent loads: Almost all forms of cranes and
hoisting mechanisms, excavators, roll trains etc.
(f) Short time loads: Motor generator sets for charging batteries,
servo motors used for remote control of clamping rods of drilling
machines.
Loads of the machines like stone crushers and ball mills are
characterized by frequent impact of small peaks so they are
classified as continuous variable loads rather than the impact loads
47. Types of Load (Cont.)
• One and the same machine can be represented by a load
torque which either varies with the speed or with the time.
• For example, a fan load whose load torque is proportional to
the square of the speed, is also a continuous, constant load.
• Load torque of a crane is independent of the speed and also
short time intermittent nature.
• Rocking pumps for petroleum have a load which vary with
angular position of the shaft, but also be classified as a
pulsating load.
48. Type of Load (Cont.
High speed Hoist Traction Load
(Constant torque; but with viscous friction)
53. Dynamics of Motor-Load
Combination
• The motor and the load that it drives are
represented by the rotational system.
• The basic equation of the motor-load system
is,
54. Dynamics of Motor-Load Combination
• where is motor and load torque respectively in Nm, J is
• the moment of inertia and is the angular velocity in rad/sec.
• Motor torque is the applied torque and load torque is the resisting torque.
• Different states at which an electric drive causing rotational motion are
(i) :- The drive will be accelerating, in particular,
picking up speed to reach rated speed.
(ii) :- The drive will be decelerating and particularly, coming
to rest.
(iii) :- The motor will continue to run at the same speed, if it
were running or continue to be at rest, if it were running.
55. Quadrant diagram of Speed-Torque
Characteristics
• The speed is assumed to be positive if the direction of
rotation is anticlockwise or in such a way to cause an
‘upward’ or forward motion of the drive. For reversible drive
positive direction of the speed can be assumed arbitrarily
either clockwise or anticlockwise.
• The motor torque is positive if it produces increase in speed
in the positive sense. The load torque is assigned the
positive sign when it is directed against the motor torque.
• Plot of speed torque characteristics of the load/ motor for all
four quadrant of operation is known as quadrantal diagram.
57. Four Quadrant Operation
• Motor is driving a hoist consisting of a cage with or without load, a rope wound on to
a drum to hoist the cage and a balance weight of magnitude greater than that of the
empty cage but less than that of the loaded cage.
• The arrow in the figure indicates the actual directions of the motor torque, load torque
and motion in four quadrants.
• The load torque of the hoisting mechanism is of active type and assumed to be
constant due to negligible friction and windage for low speed hoist.
• Speed torque curve of the hoist is represented by vertical line passing through two
quadrants. Loaded hoist characteristics in first and fourth and unloaded in second
and third quadrants.
• In the first quadrant the load torque acts in the opposite direction to that of rotation.
Hence to drive the loaded hoist up, the motor developed torque must be in the
direction of the rotation or must be positive. The power will also be positive so, this
quadrant is known as ‘forward motoring quadrant’.
58. Four Quadrant Operation (Cont.)
•
Speed torque curve of the hoist is represented by vertical line passing through two quadrants. Loaded
hoist characteristics in first and fourth and unloaded in second and third quadrants.
• In the first quadrant the load torque acts in the opposite direction to that of rotation. Hence to drive the
loaded hoist up, the motor developed torque must be in the direction of the rotation or must be
positive. The power will also be positive so, this quadrant is known as ‘forward motoring quadrant’.
• The hoisting up of the unloaded cage is represented in the second quadrant. As the counterweight is
heavier than the empty cage, the speed at which hoist moves upwards may reach a very high value.
To avoid this, the motor torque must act in the opposite direction of rotation or motor torque must be
negative. The power will be negative though the speed is positive, so this quadrant is known as
‘forward braking quadrant’.
• The third quadrant represents the downward motion of the empty cage. Downward journey will be
opposed by torque due to counterweight and friction at the transmitting parts, move cage downwards
the motor torque should must be in the direction of the rotation. Electric machine acts as a motor but
in the reverse direction compared to first quadrant. The torque is negative as speed is increased I the
negative direction, but the power is positive, this quadrant is known as ‘Reverse motoring quadrant’.
59. Four Quadrant Operation (Cont.)
• Fourth quadrant has the downward motion
of the loaded cage. As loaded cage has
more weight than the balanced weight to
limit the speed of the motion, motor torque
must have opposite polarity with respect to
rotation and acts as a brake. The motor
torque sign is positive, but as speed has
negative direction; the power will be
negative, this quadrant is designated as
‘Reverse braking quadrant’

63. Steady State Stability of an
Electric Drive
• The drive is said to be in equilibrium if the torque developed by the motor is exactly equal
to the load torque.
• If the drive comes out of the state of equilibrium due to some disturbance, it comes back to
steady state for stable equilibrium but for unstable equilibrium the speed of the drive
increases uncontrollably or decreases to zero. When the drive coming out of the state of
equilibrium preserves it steady state at different speed (lying in small range), it is said to be
in neutral range.
• The stability of the motor load combination is defined as the capacity of the system which
enables it to develop forces of such a nature as to restore equilibrium after any small
departure therefore.
• Equilibrium state of the drive mainly disturbs because of the following two types of
disturbances,
1.Changes from the state of equilibrium takes place slowly and the effect of either the
inertia or the inductance is insignificant – Steady state stability.
2.Sudden and fast changes from the equilibrium state so effect of both inertia and
inductance can not be neglected- Dynamic or transient stability
64. Steady State Stability of an
Electric Drive (Cont.)
• Criteria for steady state stability:-
• Let the equilibrium of the torques and
speed is and the small deviations
are After the displacement from the
equilibrium state the torque equation
becomes,
65. Steady State Stability of an
Electric Drive (Cont.)
• Considering the small deviation, changes can be
expressed as a linear function of change in speed,
• From the torque equation, where all quantities are
expressed in terms of their deviations from the
equilibrium,
66. Steady State Stability of an
Electric Drive (Cont.)
• Solution is,
• Where, is the initial value of the deviation
in speed. For the stable system the exponent must
be negative, so speed increment will disappear
with time. The exponent will always be negative if,
67. Steady State Stability of an
Electric Drive (Cont.)
• Criteria for the steady state stability
is for a decrease in the speed the
motor torque must exceeds the
load torque and for increase in
speed the motor torque must be
less than the load torque.
• Load torque results in a
stable equilibrium point, and the
load torque results in an
unstable situation.
68. Steady State Stability of an
Electric Drive (Cont.)
• To check the stability at an operating point of
the motor, if an increase in speed brings
greater increase in load torque than the motor
torque, the speed will tend to decrease and
return to its original value, so operating point
will be a stable point else operating point will
be an unstable point.
• Cases (a), (b) and (c) represents stable
operation of drive.
• Cases (d), (e) and (f) represents unstable
operation of drive.
• Case (g) represents indeterminate condition.
