    EXPT. No. 06: STARTING OF SINGLE PHASE MOTOR &


    OBSERVATION OF IT’S PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS.

    OBJECTIVES:
    1. To measure the starting and operating characteristics of the capacitor-start motor.
    2. To compare it's starting and running performance with the split-phase motor.

    THEORY:
    Single phase induction motor suffers from a severe handicap. Since there is only one phase on
    the stator winding the magnetic field in a induction motor doesn't rotate. Instead, it pulses,
    getting first larger and then smaller, but always remaining in the same direction because there is
    no rotating field. Hence, a single phase induction motor has no starting torque. There are three
    techniques for starting single phase induction motors are commonly used. These are
    1. Split phase winding
    2. Shaded stator pole
    3. Capacitor start and capacitor run
    Here we will discuss about the capacitor start method.
    In a capacitor start motor a capacitor is placed in series with the auxiliary winding of the motor.
    By a proper selection of capacitor size, the magneto motive force of the starting current in the
    auxiliary winding can be adjusted to be equal to the magneto motive force o the current in the
    main winding, and the phase angel of the current in the aux winding can be made to lead the
    current in the main winding by 90°. Since the two winding are physically separated by 90°, a 90°
    phase difference in the current will yield a single uniform rotating stator magnetic field and the
    motor will behave just as though it was starting from a three phase power source
    Required Instruments:
    1. Single phase induction motor. 2. Multi-meter. 3. Wattmeter 4. Voltmeter. 5. Tachometer

    EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE:

    Caution:
    High voltages are present in this experiment. Do not make any connection with the power on!
    The power should be turned off after completing each individual measurement!

    1. Using your single phase wattmeter, electrodynamometer, ac ammeter and ac voltmeter,


    connect the circuit shown in the figure.
    2. Close the power supply switch and measure current through the main winding as quickly as
    possible within three seconds.
    3. Set the electrodynamometer control knob at its full CCW position to provide minimum
    starting torque for the capacitor start motor.
    4. By varying the torque of the motor, take the readings of ammeter voltmeter wattmeter and
    tachometer.
