AC MOTORS
An AC motors converts AC electrical energy into mechanical energy,
producing a mechanical rotary action that performs some type of
work.
Because alternating current is the standard power generated and
distributed, AC motors are the most common type of motor used in
commercial and industrial applications.
Huge AC motor used the three-phase electricity to provide the
mechanical power for many types of production machinery, for
example pumps, cranes, and paper machines.
Single-phase AC motor typically produces less horsepower than
three-phase motors. There are used to drive air conditioners,
washing machines, ovens, clock and fans.

During time period T1 . Because Phase A has the greatest amplitude, the
greatest concentration of magnetic flux lines is between stator poles A1 and
A2.
During time period T2 , Phase C has the greatest magnitude, causing the
field to shift from poles A1 and A2 to poles C1 and C2.
During time period T3 , Phase B has the largest amplitude, and the field
shifts another 60 degrees between poles B1 and B2.
During time period T4, Phase A has the greatest amplitude, but current flow
is in the opposite direction. The field develops between poles A1 and A2, but
at the opposite polarity.
During time period T5 , the field develops between poles C1 and C2, but in
the opposite direction.
During time period T6 , Phase B has the greatest amplitude and causes the
stator field to rotate another 60 degrees between poles B1 and B2, but in the
opposite direction.
The changes in amplitude and direction of the current flow always occur in
the same order, and at the same time interval, to create the rotating field.
The direction of field rotation can be changed by reversing any two of the
three-phase lines connected to the coils. 14

Wound Rotors
A major difference between the wound rotor motor and the squirrel
cage rotor is the conductors of the wound rotor consist of wound coils
instead of bars.
The current that flows through the rotor is either induced by the rotating
stator field or is provided by an external DC power source.
Each winding terminates at slip rings that are mounted on the shaft of
the motor.
The current are carried by brushes that ride on the slip rings to an
external connection. The brushes connect either to a DC power source
or to an external resistor banks (if the current are induced).

Increasing the resistance of the rotor windings causes less current flow in
the rotor windings, decreasing speed.
Decreasing the resistance allows more current flow, speeding the motor
up.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
SPEED
The instant power is applied to the motor, current flows through the
stator coils and the magnetic field begins to revolve around at
synchronous speed.
The formula for determining the synchronous sped of the stator
field is:
where N = RPM
P = numbers of poles
f = applied frequency
The higher the frequency, the faster the motor runs. The more
poles a motor has, the slower it runs. The minimum number of poles
possible in an AC motor is two.

THREE-PHASE MOTOR
Most of the motors used in industry operate directly on three-phase
power.
Advantage of three-phase motor over single-phase motor
Simpler in construction
More powerful machine can be built into a smaller frame
(maximum torque occurs once every 60 degrees during a
revolution instead of once every 180 degrees.
Three-type of three phase motor
1. Squirrel cage Induction motor
2. Wound-rotor Induction motor
3. Synchronous motor
All three motor use the same basic design of stator winding, but
differ in the type of rotor used.

START-UP
During the start up, the external resistance is set to maximum value
and it will limiting the amount of rotor current.
The resistance of the external resistor is gradually reduced as the
motor speeds up, either manually or automatically. Once the motor
reaches operating speed, the external resistance reduced to zero
and each rotor is short circuited.
Wound-rotor motor develops a starting torque of 150 percent of full
load torque with a starting current of 150 percent of full-load current.
Beside that, it also causes the rotor to produce a maximum torque
during acceleration range.
Since the maximum torque can be maintained throughout the
acceleration period, the wound rotor is desirable when starting high
inertia loads

SPEED CONTROL
Even though squirrel cage induction motor has excellent speed
regulation, it speed cannot be varied without complex electronic
devices called ac drives.
Wound-rotor motor also have excellent speed regulation, along with
superior speed control abilities.
The speed cannot be made faster than synchronous speed, but can
be slowed-down by as much as 50 to 70 percent. The greater the
resistance inserted into the rotor circuit, the slower it will run.
When the resistance of a wound- external resistance is
increased the current flow in the rotor coil decreased.
When the external resistance is decreased, rotor current flow is
increased.
As the current flow in the rotor decreases, the associated magnetic
field is weakened (or decreased), causing the speed of the motor to
decrease. Therefore, as rotor resistance is increased, motor speed
decreases.

Synchronous Motor
It gets its name from the term synchronous speed.
What is synchronous speed?? As mention in the
previous part in AC motor basic principle.
Unlike induction motors which have to run at less
than their synchronous speed, synchronous motor
field.
The stator windings are excited with a three-phase
voltage to establish a rotating magnetic field.
There are two different rotor circuits:
A set of squirrel cage as used by induction motor. Called as
damper or amortisseur windings. The windings are locked at
the outer of the pole core on the pole face.
The circuit that wound on laminated core bodies called as
39
salient pole.
