AC Induction Motors ► Simplest

and most rugged electric motor

► Consists

of ___________ and ____________

► AC

in the primary member (stator) produces a ________ field

► The

magnetic field induces ______ in the secondary member (rotor) ⇒ another ________

► Combined

fields produce the force (torque) to create rotation.

AC Induction Motors ►

Rotors typically consist of a laminated, cylindrical iron core with slots for receiving the conductors.



Common type of rotor has cast-aluminum conductors and short-circuiting end rings.

AC Induction Motors ► The

"squirrel cage" rotates when the moving magnetic field induces a current in the shorted conductors.

AC Motor Speed ► The

magnetic field rotates at the __________ speed of the motor

► Determined

by the number of _____ in the stator and the frequency of the AC power ns = synchronous speed (in RPM), f = frequency (in Hz), and p = the number of poles

AC Motor Speed ► Synchronous

speed is the absolute upper limit of motor speed.

► When

running, the rotor always rotates _____ than the magnetic field (or no torque!) speed difference, or ___, is normally referred to as a % of synchronous speed:

► The

s = slip (in %), ns = synchronous speed na = actual speed

Single-phase AC Motors ► Single

phase AC motors require a "trick" to generate a 2nd "phase" to develop starting torque ► Three common methods: ƒ split-phase (auxiliary winding is rotated 90°) ƒ capacitor ƒ shaded-pole

Split-Phase AC Motor - Motor starts with both main and auxiliary winding - A centrifugal switch opens and removes the auxiliary winding Centrifugal switch opens Torque Rated full load

Split-Phase AC Motor Advantages ► Operate at ~ constant speed, 4 pole, 60 Hz: ƒ 1780 RPM (no load) ƒ 1700/1725 RPM at full load ► Reversible

at low

speed ► Rapid acceleration ► Relatively low cost

Disadvantages ► Repeated start/stop cycles heat the windings (high start resistance) ► Less useful for large inertial loads ► Requires large wiring to handle starting currents

Single-Phase Capacitor Motors ► Permanent

split capacitor (PSC) ► Capacitor-start (later switched out) ► Start-capacitor, run-capacitor (switched) Auxiliary winding Capacitor

of frequent start/stop cycles

Disadvantages ► More expensive for same HP ► Lower performance when starting ► Need to always use manufacturer's desired capacitor value

Shaded Pole AC Motor Advantages ► Simple in design and construction ► Suitable for low cost, high volume app's ► Relatively quiet and free from vibration ► "Fail safe" design starts in only 1 direction

Disadvantages ► Low starting and running torque ► Low efficiency ► Available in subfractional to ~ 1/4 hp sizes

NEMA - National Electrical Manufacturers Association NEMA is responsible for several electric motor industry "standards" ► Motor ratings (1/4 hp, 1/2 hp, 1 hp, etc.) ► Frame size ƒ diameter, length, shaft size, etc. ► Service

factors ► Housing/protection types and ratings

Service Factors ►A

multiplier applied to the rated horsepower ► Indicate how much the motor can be overloaded without overheating ► Generally used for ƒ handling a known, occasional overload ƒ provide a factor of safety where environment or service condition is not well known

Motor Enclosures ► DP

- dripproof ► DPFG - dripproof, fully guarded ► SP - splashproof ► FV - forced ventilation (separate/attached fan) ► TENV - totally enclosed, non-ventilated ► TEFC - totally enclosed, fan cooled ► TEUC - totally enclosed, unit cooled (heat-X)

AC Motor Efficiency η = _______________________ ► Small universal motors have η ~ ____ ► Large 3-phase motors have η ~ ____ ► Depends on actual motor load vs. rated load ► Efficiency,

ƒ efficiency best near rated load ƒ efficiency drops rapidly for both under- and over-load conditions
