onastan tees Eoeay Le Opaton ta pyphaeivten Tet ‘Types of ac induction motor rotors. “There are two types of rotors used in Induction motors. Most use the cage or ‘squrre cage’ rotor ‘Single cage or double cage Known as Squirrel cage rotors, “The induction rotor is made ofa laminated cylinder with slots in its surface, The windings in these ‘slots are one of two types. The most commen isthe squire-cage winding. This entire winding is made up of heavy copper bare connected together at each end by a metal ring made of copper or brass. No insulation is required between the core and the bas. This is because cf the very low voltages generated inthe rotor bars. Inthe cage rotor, the numberof bars is usually a prime number, such as 47. Figure 82 PF LANINATED ‘CORE WOUND ROTOR Wound rotor [An altemate design, called the wound rote, i used when variable speed is required. In this case, the rotor has the same qumter of poles as the stator and the windings are made of wire, connected o slp rings onthe shaft. Carbon brushes connect the slip rings to an external controler Such as a variable resistor tat allows changing the motors sip rate. In certain high-power vari speed wound-rotorcrives, the sip-‘requency energy is captured, rectified and returned tothe power supply through an inverter. ‘Compared to squire cage rotors, wound rotor motors are expensive anc require maintenance of the slp rings and brushes, but they were the standard form for variable speed contol betore the advent of compact power electronic devices,Osean tapes ntte trot Lecture 8 Operation ofa polyphase induction motor - Types Types: single cage, double cage, wound rotor Introduction - Induction Motors ‘The induction motor isthe most commonly used type of ac motor. ts simple, rugged construction costs relatively litle to manufacture, The induction mator has @ rotor that isnot connected to an extemal source of voltage. “The induction motor derves its name from the fact that ac voltages are Induced inthe rotor cicut by the rotating magnetic fed ofthe stator. In many ways, Induction in this motor is similar to the induction between the primary and secondary windings ofa transformer. Large motors and permanently mounted motors that drive loads at fay constant speed are often Induction motors, Examples are found in washing machines, refrigerator compressors, bench grinders, and table ‘saws. The stalor constuction of the three-phase induction motor andthe thres-phase synchronous ‘motor ae almost identical. However, their rotors are completely diferent Figure et heree For higher-power applications where a polyphase electrical supply is avaiable, the three phase (or polyphase) AC induction motors used, The phase diferences between the tee phases ofthe polyphase electrical supply create a rotating electromagnetic fla inthe motor “Through electromagnetic induction, the rotating magnetic field induces a current in the conductors Inthe rotor, which in tum sets up a counterbalancing magnetic field that causes the rtor to turnin te direction the field is rotating, The rotor must always rotate slower than the rtating magnetic field produced by the polyphase electrical supply otherwse, no counterbalancing field wl be produced inthe rotor. Induction motors are the workhorses of industry and metors upto about 500 kV in output are produced in highly standarcized frame sizes, making them nearly completely herchangeable between manufacturers (although European and Nth American standard dimensions are of course ditecent.snot enc ear ce Opetont pan nuance lean inerers wih variable requeney ve can now be used for speed cortl and wow Str er eonming ess common Eleeronc invert ves alo allo te more (tee ators tobe used when only single-phase main cent avaliable. gardens of he ype of ror ued, the tac ml is he eae, The ring magnate Te Reger in vernon a magne td nth tt, The oi rat and caine generated re ar maximum ntracton beeen the fds, the ar gap Deween he rte ané sitar iver sma fuses of 3 fyve Inoocrent Howe fod.
