Stator Construction
• Salient Pole
• Cylindrical
Rotor Construction
Salient Pole
Difference between pole face
curvature and stator creates non-linear
variation in flux across pole face
Cylindrical
Difference in coil spacing creates non-
linear variation in flux around the rotor
surface
Cylindrical

surface
Period = 20ms
• Field produced on rotor by dc current
through slip rings
C A B
• Rotor field is turned at 3000rpm by a
prime mover
Synchronous speed
fS = supply frequency
required
RPM
p = pole pairs
Induced EMF
Volts per
phase
Open circuit
The open circuit EMF generated depends stator saturation
upon EMF
• Rotor speed
• Rotor current
NR = NS
NS
• This is impossible within an induction
motor as there wound be no induced
currents to cause rotation
The V-curve
