INTRODUCTION
FOUNDERS:
Was a successful industrialist, but his chief merit lay in the trail he blazed, for the principle in life
he depended upon were his vision and a spirit of pioneering.
"My faith is in the human intellect. It gives us our means to create wealth by directing our talents
towards productive work. And therefore, freedom for individual ability is the only way a society
can prosper. After all, you can't distribute wealth unless you first create it. And you can't create it
unless you know how."
His Childhood
Born on June 20, 1869 in the small town of Gurlhosur in Dharwar district, he was the fifth and
youngest child of a retired land surveyor by name Kashinath Vasudeo Kirloskar whose income
was twelve rupees a month.
At the age of three he lost his mother and his father had to look after him and was sent to Belgaum,
Karnataka to study. His hobby was drawing and toy making.
When he was still in fourth standard, at the age of sixteen, he quit school to go to Bombay. He
enrolled himself in the Sir J.J.School of Art and Crafts and gave up painting and confined himself
to drawing in black and white.
While he was still a student in the third year school at the Art School, he joined as a drawing
teacher in Victoria Jubilee Technical School at a very nominal monthly salary. At the Technical
School he acquired a working knowledge of handling lathes, drills and presses.
The power of now is the energy opportunities that comes to us disguised as challenges. That power
of now at Kirloskar Electric is the dynamic of making opportunities work as by meeting clients’
tough specifications of cost competitiveness, quality and reliability.
His Vision
"We cannot continue as slaves of foreign know-how indefinitely, we must intensify our R & D
efforts," he would repeatedly say.
He was a very observant man and he was able to use the past to analyze and interpret the future.
He had talent for absorbing information easily and had a very good grasp of fundamentals.
Long before small scale industries became popular, he encouraged his workers to branch out on
their own and also provided technical guidance, financial assistance and assured them a market for
their products.

AC MOTORS
Kirloskar Electric was the first company in India to manufacture AC motors way back in 1948.
Since then it has developed millions of motors for domestic and international market.
Alternating Current (AC) is what power companies transmit through the electric wires. AC travels
in both directions and is used so that transformers may raise and lower the voltage. Electric
generators produce low voltage electricity and transformers are used to raise the voltage for long
distance transmission.
INTRODUCTION
Electric motors defined as electromechanical devices that convert electrical energy to mechanical
energy; they are the interface between the electrical and mechanical systems of a facility.
Electric motors are an important part of any electrical system. They used throughout every
manufacturing plant, office, and home consuming about 64% of all electricity generated.
There are numerous ways to design a motor, thus there are many different types of motors and
each type possess different operating characteristics (that will be listed later). Based on these
characteristics the motor can be chosen for a specified application.
1. Electrical current flowing in a loop of wire will produce a magnetic field across the loop.
2. When this loop is surrounded by the field of another magnet, the loop will turn, producing a
force (called torque) that results in mechanical motion
Electric machines are classified into two categories D.C. and A.C. motors, the basic parts for each
type will be different for each type as follows:
1. Enclosure.
2. Stator.
3. Rotor.
4. Bearings.
5. Conduit Box.
6. Eye Bolt
1. Enclosure
The enclosure consists of a frame (or yoke) and two end brackets (or bearing housings).
A motor's enclosure not only holds the motor's components together, it also protects the
internal components from moisture and containments. The degree of protection depends
on the enclosure type. In addition, the type of enclosure affects the motor's cooling.
2. Stator
A. Stator Core
The stator is the stationary part of the motor's electromagnetic circuit. The stator is
electrical circuit that performs as electromagnet. The stator core is made up of many thin
metal sheets, called laminations. Laminations are used to reduce energy losses that would
result if a solid core were used.
B. Stator (Windings)
Stator laminations are stacked together forming a hollow cylinder. Coils of insulated wire
are inserted into slots of the stator core.
When the assembled motor is in operation, the stator windings are connected directly to
the power source. Each grouping of coils, together with the steel core it surrounds, becomes
an electromagnet when current is applied. Electromagnetism is the basic principle behind
motor operation.
3. Rotor.
The rotor is the rotating part of the motor's electromagnetic circuit. Magnetic field from
the stator induces an opposing magnetic field onto the rotor causing the rotor to "push"
away from the stator field.
There are a lot of rotor types like Squirrel cage rotor and wound rotor, they will be
explained later.
Production Department:
This department is responsible for all the production activities carried out by the unit. The
whole running of unit depends on this department the proper and timely functioning of this
department helps in product reaching the customer at the time.
