Induction Motors:
We just learned how damper or amortisseur windings on a synchronous motor could develop a starting torque without the necessity of supplying an external current to the field windingnecessity of supplying an external current to the field winding.
This idea works so well that a motor can be made without the synchronous motors main field windings at all.
A machine with only amortisseur windings is called an induction ac e w o y a o sseu w d gs s ca ed a inductionmachine.
These machines are called induction machines because the rotorThese machines are called induction machines because the rotor voltage, and hence the rotor current and rotor magnetic field is induced in the rotor windings instead of being physicaly connected

by wires.
Induction Motors:
The distinguishing feature of an induction machine is that no DC field current is required to run the machine.
Although an induction machine can be used as either a motor or a generator, it has many problems when used as a generator and so these are rare.
For this reason, when studying induction machines are really o s easo , w e s udy g duc o ac es a e ea ystudying induction motors.
An induction motor is called a singly excited machine (as opposedAn induction motor is called a singly excited machine (as opposed to a doubly excited machine) because power is applied only to the stator.

Induction Motors:
An induction motor has the same physical stator as a synchronous machine but with a different rotor construction.
There are two different types of induction motor rotors.
1. A squirrel cage induction motor rotor consists of conducting bars laid into slots carved in the face of the rotor and shorted at either end by end rings or shorting rings (see picture next page).e d by e d gs o s o g gs (see p c u e e page).
2. A wound rotor that has a complete set of three phase windings that are mirror images of the windings on the statorthat are mirror images of the windings on the stator.

Induction Motors:
A wound rotor that has a complete set of three phase windings that are mirror images of the windings on the stator. The three phases of the rotor windings are usually Y Connected and the ends ofof the rotor windings are usually Y-Connected, and the ends of the three-phase wires are tied to slip rings on the motor’s shaft.
The rotor windings are accessed through brushed riding on the slip rings.
Such a rotor arrangement is more expensive, requires maintenance, and hence is rarely used.
We will not consider wound rotors any further in this course.

Induction Motors – Basic Operation:
Operation is basically the same as that of synchronous motors with amortisseur (damper) windings.
There are a few specific terms that go along with induction motors.
As before, a three-phase set of voltages is applied to the stator, and a three-phase set of currents thus flows. These currents produce a stator magnetic field BS rotating in a counterclockwise direction.s a o ag e c e d S o a g a cou e c oc w se d ec o .

Induction Motors – Rotor Slip
Consequently the motor will speed up to near synchronous speed but never actually reach it.
Note also that both the rotor and stator magnetic fields rotate together at synchronous speed nsync, while the rotor itself always turns at a slower speed.
This called rotor slip.s ca ed oto slip.
In a synchronous motor, the voltage induced in a rotor bar depends on the speed of the rotor relative to the magnetic fieldson the speed of the rotor relative to the magnetic fields.
The speed of an induction motor depends on the rotor voltage and

Induction Motors – Rotor Slip
The difference between the synchronous speed (the speed of the magnetic fields) in an induction motor and the rotor speed is known as the slip speed nknown as the slip speed nslip.

Electrical Frequency of the Rotor
The induction motor operates by inducing voltages and currents in the rotor and as such can be viewed as a rotating transformer.
The stator serves as the primary,
The rotor serves as the secondary,
BUT the secondary frequency is not necessarily the same as the U e seco da y eque cy s o ecessa y e sa e as eprimary frequency (unlike a transformer).
EEL 3211 (© 2008, H. Zmuda) 6. Induction Motors 20
Electrical Frequency of the Rotor
If the rotor is locked and cannot move, the frequency of the rotor current will be the same as that in the primary.
If the rotor turns at synchronous speed, the frequency of the rotor current will be zero.
What is the rotor frequency for any other speed of rotor rotation?

Circuit Model (per Phase) for the Induction Motor
Because of the transformer-like operation, the model for the induction motor will be essentially that of the circuit model for a transformertransformer.
Because the induction motor is a single excited machine (no power applied to a field circuit), the model will not have an internally generated voltage EA as we had in the synchronous (doubly excited) machine.e c ed) ac e.
To develop the model for the induction motor, let’s start with the transformer model and go from theretransformer model and go from there.

Circuit Model (per Phase) for the Induction Motor
Note how the slope of the motor’s flux-mmf curve is much shallower that that of a good transformer.
This is because of the presence of an air gap in the motor, not present in a transformer, which greatly increases the reluctance of the flux path and thereby reducing the coupling between primary and secondary.
The higher reluctance means that a higher magnetizing current is needed to obtain a given flux level.
This results in a much smaller value of XM than in an ordinary transformer.
EEL 3211 (© 2008, H. Zmuda) 6. Induction Motors 28
Circuit Model (per Phase) for the Induction Motor
The major difference between the model of the induction motor and that of a transformer is due the difference in frequency between th i d th dthe primary and the secondary.
How do we model this?
In general for an induction motor, a voltage is applied to the stator windings inducing a voltage in the rotor windings.windings inducing a voltage in the rotor windings.
The greater the relative motion between the rotor and stator magnetic field the greater the resulting rotor voltage and rotormagnetic field, the greater the resulting rotor voltage and rotor frequency, since

Rotor Model
The largest relative motion occurs when the rotor is locked or stationary. The largest voltage and rotor frequency occur under thi ditithis condition.
The smallest voltage (zero) and frequency (zero) occur when the rotor turns at the same speed as the stator magnetic field yielding no relative motion.
The magnitude of the induced voltage and rotor frequency at any speed between these extremes is directly proportional to the rotor slip:slip: ,R LR r eE sE f s sf

Observations:
If the rotor is driven faster then synchronous speed, the direction of the induced torque reverses and the machine becomes a generator.
If the motor is turning backwards relative to the direction of the stator magnetic fields, the motor will stop very rapidly and try to t i th th di titurn in the other direction.
Recall that reversing the direction of magnetic field rotation is simply a matter of switching any two stator phases.

Torque-Speed Characteristics
If a rotor is designed with high resistance, the starting torque is quite high, but the slip is also quite high under normal operating
di iconditions.
Recall from Slide 47: . 1conv AGP P s
The higher the slip, the smaller the fraction of air-gap power converted to mechanical power thus the smaller the efficiency

Hence a motor with high starting torque has poor efficiency at l ti dnormal operating speeds.

Alternatively a rotor is designed with low resistance has a low starting torque and a high starting current but its efficiency at

Torque-Speed Characteristics
An ingenious and simple way of obtaining a rotor resistance which will automatically vary with speed makes use of the fact that at
d ill h f l h f hstandstill the rotor frequency equals the stator frequency; as the motor accelerates, the rotor frequency decreases to a very low value, perhaps 2 or 3 Hz at full load in a 60-Hz motor. p p
Squirrel-cage rotors can be designed so that their effective resistance at 60 Hz is several times their resistance at 2 or 3 Hz The variousat 60 Hz is several times their resistance at 2 or 3 Hz. The various schemes all make use of the inductive effect of the slot-leakage flux on the current distribution in the rotor bars.
One way that this happens is by the skin effect.

Because of the variation in the reactance, under ac conditions the current in the low-reactance upper layers will be greater than that i h hi h l lin the high-reactance lower layers.
As a result, the current will be forced toward the top of the slot, and pthe phase of current in the upper layers will lead that of the current in the lower ones.

An alternative way of attaining similar results is the double-cage arrangement
shown on the next slideshown on the next slide.
The squirrel-cage winding consists of two layers of bars short-circuited by end rings. The upper bars are of smaller cross-sectional area than the lower bars and consequently have higher resistance.

At standstill, when rotor frequency equals stator frequency, there is relatively little current in the lower bars because of their high reactance; the effective resistance of the rotor at standstill is thenreactance; the effective resistance of the rotor at standstill is then approximately equal to that of the high-resistance upper layer.
At the low rotor frequencies corresponding to small slips, however, reactance effects become negligible, and the rotor resistance then approaches that of the two layers in parallel.pp y p

The upper bars are of smaller cross-sectional area than the lower bars and consequently have higher resistance.
The inductance of the lower bars is greater than that of the upper ones because of the flux crossing the slot between the two layers. g y

Summary: By use of double-cage and deep-bar rotors, squirrel-cage motors can be designed to have the good starting characteristics resulting from high rotor resistance and, at the same time, the good running characteristics resulting from low rotor resistance. Induction motorsresulting from low rotor resistance. Induction motors generally fall into four types:
Class A: Normal Starting Torque Normal StartingClass A: Normal Starting Torque, Normal Starting Current, Low Slip
Class B: Normal Starting Torque, Low Starting Current, Low Slip
Class C: High Starting Torque, Low Starting Current
Class D: High Starting Torque High SlipEEL 3211 (© 2008, H. Zmuda) 6. Induction Motors 109

Starting Induction Motors and Speed Control
Clearly, by their very nature, inductions motors tend to be self starting. Electronics is used to limit the starting current.
The speed can be somewhat controlled with line voltage. Another method of speed control uses power electronic circuits to vary the p p yline current.

A major problem with this test is that although the stator frequency equals the line frequency, the rotor frequency is different. Under normal operating conditions the slip for most motors is on thenormal operating conditions, the slip for most motors is on the order of a few percent, so that the rotor frequency is in the range of 1 – 3 Hertz.
When the rotor is locked, then the rotor frequency equals the line frequency. q y

This is why a variable frequency source is used. A typical compromise is to use a test frequency that is 25% or less than the rated frequencyrated frequency.
At lower than normal operating frequency, the inductive reactances ll h l l l d b dj dare smaller, so the voltage level needs to be adjusted so as not to
exceed maximum current ratings.
