EM Assignment [6-10] 29 June 2023 08:20 Question 6: Why IM cannot run at the Synchronous speed? Answer: If the rotor runs at the Synchronous speed (Nsync) which is the same speed of the rotating magnetic field, then the rotor will appear stationary to the rotating magnetic field, and the rotating magnetic field will not cut the rotor. iae\ aa @ oy i So no induced current will flow in the rotor and no rotor magnetic flux will be produced so no torque is generated and the rotor speed (Nm) will fall below the Synchronous speed (Nsync). Question 7: Why rotor frequency of IM is not equal to the stator frequency? Answer: Let's compare the induction motor and a transformer to understand why the voltage induced in the rotor of an induction motor has a different frequency, while the voltage induced in the secondary winding of a transformer has the same frequency as the primary winding. In a transformer, the primary and secondary windings are stationary and physically separated, but they are magnetically coupled. When an alternating current flows through the primary winding, it creates a changing magnetic field. This changing magnetic field induces a voltage in the secondary winding through electromagnetic induction. The key difference with an induction motor is that in a transformer, the primary and secondary windings are fixed relative to each other. The changing magnetic field in the primary induces a voltage in the secondary winding at the same frequency as the primary voltage. This is because the magnetic coupling between the windings remains constant, and there is no relative motion Xa -Lla mal -lanmCoMor-TULS-M- Mi cto (U(-1aaVMe tikes In an induction motor, the rotor winding is located inside the stator winding. When AC voltage is applied to the stator winding, a rotating magnetic field is created. This rotating magnetic field induces a voltage in the rotor winding. However, unlike in a transformer, the rotor winding is not stationary. It is mounted on a rotor shaft and is free to rotate. The rotor of the induction motor tries to catch up with the rotating magnetic field created by the stator. The rotor speed is slightly slower than the synchronous speed of the rotating magnetic field, causing slip. This relative motion between the rotor and the rotating magnetic field induces a voltage in the rotor winding.

In an induction motor, the rotor winding is rotating and has relative motion with respect to the stator's rotating magnetic field, leading to a different frequency induction. Question 8: Suppose if the supply frequency increases then what happens to the speed of leat emul elea mee Answer: If the supply frequency of an induction motor increases, the speed of the motor will also increase. This is because the speed of an induction motor is directly proportional to the supply frequency. The speed of an induction motor is determined by the synchronous speed, which is calculated using iial-elata EP , bear syne = In this formula, the frequency represents the supply frequency of the power source. As you can see, the synchronous speed is directly proportional to the frequency. Therefore, if the frequency increases, the synchronous speed Tale gore a When the synchronous speed is increased, the rotor speed will attempt to increase as well, influenced by the torque applied to the rotor and the load on the motor. The increased synchronous speed causes a higher-frequency rotating magnetic field in the stator, which induces a higher-frequency voltage in the rotor windings. This increased voltage causes a higher rotor Uae -Tenem el MPRA ea ve<-tn(-e-1 Ke Malt tal -1e electromagnetic torque. The torque produced by the rotor attempts to accelerate the rotor to match the increased synchronous speed. However, the actual rotor speed cannot surpass the synchronous speed because the induction motor operates on the principle of slip. Question 9: In IM which winding is said to be the armature winding? And why? Answer: The term "armature" is used in electrical machines to refer to the winding that carries the output current. In induction motors, the rotor winding is said to be the armature winding and the reason for that is because it is the part of the motor that produces the output power. The stator winding of an induction motor only produces the rotating magnetic field. The rotor winding actually converts the rotating magnetic field into electrical power. Question 10: In IM which winding is said to be the SMU Ran ae Answer: The term "field winding" is typically used in electrical machines to refer to the winding that produces the magnetic field. In induction motors, the stator winding is said to be the field winding because it's the stationary part of the motor that produces rotating magnetic field. The rotor winding is the rotating part of the motor that is induced by the rotating magnetic field.
