    Module-5 B) Three Phase Induction Motor Construction:: (I) Stator (Ii) Rotor

    Uploaded by

    The three phase induction motor consists of a stator and a rotor. The stator contains slots holding three phase windings connected in a star or delta configuration to produce a rotating magnetic field. There are two types of rotors: a squirrel cage rotor containing shorted bars that induce current without connections, and a wound rotor with slip rings to add external resistance for starting. The rotating magnetic field causes induced currents in the rotor to generate torque.

    b) THREE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR

    CONSTRUCTION:
    Basically an alternator consists of two parts viz
    (i)Stator
    (ii)Rotor
    (i) STATOR:

     It consists of a steel frame which encloses a hollow, cylindrical core made up of thin laminations of
    silicon steel to reduce hysteresis and eddy current losses.
     A number of evenly spaced slots are provided on the inner periphery of the laminations.
     The stator conductors are placed in these slots, which are insulated from one another and also from the
    slots are connected to form a balanced 3-phase star or delta circuit.
     The 3-phase stator winding is wound for a definite number of poles as per requirement of speed.
     Greater the number of poles, lesser is the speed of the motor and vice-versa.
    (ii) ROTOR:
    There are two types of rotors
    (a)Squirrel cage type and
    (b)Wound rotor type .
    The induction motors with squirrel cage rotor is called as squirrel cage
    induction motor and the I.M with a smooth wound type rotor is called as
    slip ring induction motor.
    (a) Squirrel Cage Rotor:

     It consists of a laminated cylindrical core having parallel slots on its outer periphery.
     One copper or aluminium bar is placed in each slot. All these bars are joined at each end by metal rings
    called end rings. This forms a permanently short-circuited winding which is indestructible.
     The entire construction (bars and end rings) resembles a squirrel cage and hence the name. Those
    induction motors which employ squirrel cage rotor are called squirrel cage induction motors.
     The rotor is not connected electrically to the supply but has current induced in it by transformer action
    from the stator.
     Most of 3-phase induction motors use squirrel cage rotor as it has a remarkably simple and robust
    construction.
     However, it suffers from the disadvantage of a low starting torque.
     It is because the rotor bars are permanently short-circuited and it is not possible to add any external
    resistance to the rotor circuit to have a large starting torque.
     The slots are slightly skewed, which helps in two ways: 1) It reduces the noise due to magnetic hum
    and makes the rotor to run quietly and 2) It reduces the locking tendency between the rotor and the
    stator.
    (b) Wound Rotor:

     It consists of a laminated cylindrical core and carries a 3- phase winding, similar to the one on the
    stator.
     The rotor winding is uniformly distributed in the slots and is usually star-connected.
     The open ends of the rotor winding are brought out and joined to three insulated slip rings mounted on
    the rotor shaft with one brush resting on each slip ring.
     The three brushes are connected to a 3-phase star-connected rheostat as shown in Fig 3.
     At starting, the external resistances are included in the rotor circuit to give a large starting torque.
    These resistances are gradually reduced to zero as the motor runs up to speed.
    GENERATION OF ROTATING MAGNETIC FIELD:
    The corresponding phase fluxes can be represented by the following equations:

    ϕR = ϕm sin ωt = ϕm sin θ
    ϕY = ϕm sin (ωt-120o) = ϕm sin (θ-120o)
    ϕB = ϕm sin (ωt-240o) = ϕm sin (θ-240o)
    The resultant flux at any instant is given by the vector sum of the flux in each of the phases.
    (i) When θ =0o, from the flux waveform diagram, we have

    ϕR = ϕm sin 0 = 0

    ξ3
    ϕY = ϕm sin (0-120o) = - ϕm
    2

    ξ3
    ϕB = ϕm sin (0-240o) =
    2
    ϕm

    ξ3
    ϕr = 2 × ϕm cos (30o) = 1.5 ϕm
    2
    (ii) When θ =60o, from the flux waveform diagram, we have

    ξ3
    ϕR = ϕm sin 60o = ϕm
    2

    ξ3
    ϕY = ϕm sin (60o-120o) = - ϕm
    2

    ϕB = ϕm sin (60o-240o) = 0

    ξ3
    ϕr = 2 ×
    2
    ϕm cos (30o) = 1.5 ϕm
    (iii) When θ =120o, from the flux waveform diagram, we have

    ξ3
    ϕR = ϕm sin 120o = ϕm
    2

    ϕY = ϕm sin (120o-120o) = 0

    ξ3
    ϕB = ϕm sin (120o-240o) = - ϕm
    2

    ξ3
    ϕr = 2 × ϕm cos (30o) = 1.5 ϕm
    2
