Induction Motor

 An induction motor or asynchronous motor is an AC electric motor in which


the electric current in the rotor needed to produce torque is obtained
by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding.
 An induction motor can therefore be made without electrical connections to the
rotor.

Induction Motor

 An electrical motor is an electromechanical device which converts electrical energy


into mechanical energy.
 In the case of three phase AC (Alternating Current) operation, the most widely used
motor is a 3 phase induction motor, as this type of motor does not require an
additional starting device.
 These types of motors are known as self-starting induction motors.

Induction Motor

 Three-phase squirrel-cage induction motors are widely used as industrial


drives because they are self-starting, reliable and economical.
 Single-phase induction motors are used extensively for smaller loads, such as
household appliances like fans.
 Although traditionally used in fixed-speed service, induction motors are
increasingly being used with variable-frequency drives (VFD) in variable-
speed service. VFDs offer especially important energy savings opportunities
for existing and prospective induction motors in variable-
torque centrifugal fan, pump and compressor load applications.
 Squirrel cage induction motors are very widely used in both fixed-speed and
variable-frequency drive applications.

Construction Induction Motor

induction motor consists of two major parts:


 A stator
 A rotor

Stator
 The stator of three phase
induction motor is made up of
numbers of slots to construct a 3
phase winding circuit which can
be connected with 3-phase
source.
 The three-phase winding is
arranged in such a manner in the
slots that they produce one
rotating magnetic field when the
three-phase AC supply source is
applied. Dr. Pratap Ranjan Mohanty, Sr. Asst. Prof., EEE

Construction Induction Motor

induction motor consists of two major parts:


 A stator
 A rotor

Rotor
 It consists of a cylindrical laminated
core with parallel slots that can
carry conductors.
 The conductors are heavy copper or
aluminum bars fitted in each slot
and short-circuited by the end rings.
 The slots are not exactly made
parallel to the axis of the shaft but
are slotted a little skewed because
this arrangement reduces magnetic
humming noise and can avoid

stalling of the motor.

Principle Induction Motor

 AC power supplied to the motor's stator creates


a magnetic field that rotates in (synchronous speed)
synchronism with the AC oscillations
 This induces an emf (current) in the induction motor's
rotor which is opposing in nature.
The rotating magnetic flux induces currents in the windings of
the rotor, in a manner similar to currents induced in
a transformer's secondary winding(s)
 An induced current circulates through the rotor circuit,
since it is short-circuited or closed through an external
impedance
 The current carrying rotor conductors, under magnetic
field develop a resultant mechanical torque (rotor
revolution) along the direction of stator rotating field
based on the motor principle.
 The rotor rotates below the synchronous speed.

Principle Induction Motor

NOTE

 The rotor accelerates until the magnitude of induced rotor current and torque balances the applied
mechanical load on the rotation of the rotor. Since rotation at synchronous speed would result in no
induced rotor current, an induction motor always operates slightly slower than synchronous speed.
 Synchronous speed (Ns): rotation rate of the stator's magnetic field
120f/P RPM = 2f/P RPS
 Slip (S): difference between synchronous speed and operating speed with respect to the
synchronous speed
