BASIC CONSTRUCTION
A stationary component. Made of copper windings that carry current. The stators coils set up a magnetic field that moves in a circular motion. The stator surrounds the Rotor.
as the name suggests, rotates. It is caused to rotate under the influence of the magnetic field of the stator. The rotor tries to keep up with the stators magnetic field
used to cool the motor.
Allows motor shaft to move smoothly. Reduces energy losses that would occur through friction. The seals keep dust from entering the motor.
Armature, the part of an electric generator or motor that contains the main current-carrying winding.
The armature usually consists of a coil of copper wire wound around an iron or steel core.
The coil and core are placed in a magnetic field produced by one or more permanent magnets or electromagnets. If the armature in a generator or motor is designed to rotate, it is called a rotor; if it is a stationary part, it is called a stator.
In an induction motor (the most widely used type of electric motor), an alternating electric current is supplied to the motor's electromagnets. The oscillating magnetic field produced by the magnets induces a current in the armature, causing it to rotate.
8
ARMATURE AND FIELD WINDINGS
A machine may contain several sets of windings (commonly armature and field)
In DC motor, the field winding is on the stator while armature is on the rotor
The armature windings carry currents that vary with mechanical load Small amplitude when load is light Larger amplitude when load is heavier
If machine act as generator, the electrical output is taken from armature

ROTATING DC MACHINES
Consider a coil in a magnetic field of flux density, B. When the two ends of the coil are connected across a DC voltage source, current I flows through it. A force is exerted on the coil as a result of the interaction of magnetic field and electric current. The force on the two sides of the coil is such that the coil starts to move in the direction of force.
13
DC PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
In an actual DC motor, several such coils are wound on the rotor, all of which experience force, resulting in rotation. The greater the current in the wire, or the greater the magnetic field, the faster the wire moves because of the greater force created.
At the same time this torque is being produced, the conductors are moving in a magnetic field. At different positions, the flux linked with it changes, which causes an emf to be induced (e = d/dt)
This voltage is in opposition to the voltage that causes current flow through the conductor and is referred to as a counter-voltage or back emf.
14
DC PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The value of current flowing through the armature is dependent upon the difference between the applied voltage and this counter-voltage. The current due to this counter-voltage tends to oppose the very cause for its production according to Lenzs law. It results in the rotor slowing down. Eventually, the rotor slows just enough so that the force created by the magnetic field (F = Bil) equals the load force applied on the shaft. Then the system moves at constant velocity
15
DC PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
16
DC MOTOR ROTATION CONSIDERATIONS
Speed
Rotation of the shaft
When we supply the specified voltage to a motor, it rotates the output shaft at some speed. This rotational speed or angular velocity, is typically measured in revolutions/minute (rpm)
Torque
Torque is the product of Force x Lever Arm Length (Radius)
Clockwise and Counter-Clockwise efforts are distinguished by differences in sign (+ or -)
The quantitative measure of the tendency of a force to cause or change rotational motion is called torque
The field circuit is represented by resistance RF and inductance LF in series
Consider steady state operation in which current are constant, and neglect the inductance because it behaves as a short circuit for dc current
Thus for DC field
17
EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT OF THE DC MOTOR
FFF IRV
The voltage EA shown in the equivalent circuit represents the average voltage induced in the armature due to the motion of the conductors relative to the magnetic field.
The resistance RA is the resistance of the armature windings plus the brush resistance.

TYPES OF DC MOTOR
The field current is in parallel with the armature The field circuit consist of rheostat having a adjustable
resistance (Radj) in series with field coil that can be used to adjust motor speed
If the adjustable resistance is increase while holding the source voltage constant, the speed would also increase
Also, if the voltage source is increase the field current could be hold constant to increase the speed by increasing the value of adjustable resistance
20
SHUNT CONNECTED DC MOTOR
The machine is supplied by constant voltage source, VT
Has very high starting torque and draws very large starting currents
Usually, resistance inserted in series with armature during starting to limit the current to reasonable levels

23
SEPARATELY EXCITED DC MOTORS
The field winding is in series with armature Has moderate starting torque and starting current Speed automatically adjust over a large range as the load torque
varies Because it slows down for heavier load, its output power is more
nearly constant than other types of motor Advantageous because the motor can operate within its
maximum power rating for a wide range of load torque In some cases, the no-load speed can be large enough to be
dangerous
24
SERIES CONNECTED DC MOTORS
Ex: starter motor in automobiles, when engine is cold the starter motor operate at lower speed, when engine warm the starter spin faster.in either case, the current drawn from battery remains within acceptable limit
25
SERIES CONNECTED DC MOTORS
Advantages of DC motor:
Ease of control
Deliver high starting torque
Near-linear performance
Disadvantages:
High maintenance
Large and expensive (compared to induction motor)
Not suitable for high-speed operation due to commutator and brushes
Not readily available for use at home
26
SERIES CONNECTED DC MOTORS
The field is supplied by magnets mounted on the stator rather than field coil
Characteristics are similar to those of separately excited machine except field cannot be adjusted
Advantages; No power required to establish the field-leading to better efficiency PM motor can be smaller than equivalent machine with field winding
Disadvantages; The magnet can become demagnetized by overheating/ excessive armature current Flux density magnitude is smaller thus, torque produced per ampere of armature current
is smaller

TOPIC 2: AC MOTORS
29
A type of electric motor that runs on alternating current. AC motors are more commonly used in industry than DC motors but do not operate well at low speeds
AC Motors are highly flexible in many ways including their speed control
The components of AC motors have been described in the earlier slides
Can be either single or three phases
30
AC MOTORS
31
If a 3-phase supply is fed to the stator windings of a 3-phase motor, a magnetic flux of constant magnitude, rotating at synchronous speed is set up.
At this point, the rotor is stationary. The rotating magnetic flux passes through the air gap between the stator & rotor and sweeps past the stationary rotor conductors.
This rotating flux, as it sweeps, cuts the rotor conductors, thus causing an e.m.f to be induced in the rotor conductors.
As per the Faradays law of electromagnetic induction, it is this relative motion between the rotating magnetic flux and the stationary rotor conductors, which induces an e.m.f on the rotor conductors.
32
AC MOTORS PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Since the rotor conductors are shorted and form a closed circuit, the induced e.m.f produces a rotor current whose direction is given by Lenzs Law, is such as to oppose the cause producing it.
In this case, the cause which produces the rotor current is the relative motion between the rotating magnetic flux and the stationary rotor conductors. Thus to reduce the relative speed, the rotor starts to rotate in the same direction as that of the rotating flux on the stator windings. The frequency of the induced e.m.f is same as the supply frequency.

Operating speed of synchronous motor is constant
The number of magnetic poles P is always an even integer
If some other speed other than presented in Table 1 is required, a synchronous machine is usually not a good choice
The starting torque is zero
One approach is to operate the motor as an induction motor with reduced load until the speed approaches synchronous speed and then switch to synchronous operation

Synchronous speed versus number of poles for f=60 Hz
The motor has good starting torque
In normal operation, the speed of induction motor is only slightly less than synchronous speed
Ex: at full load, a typical four pole (P=4) induction motor runs at 1750 rpm and at no load it speed approaches 1800rpm
During startup, the current drawn by induction motor can be many times larger than its rated full-load current
To avoid excessive current, large induction motors are usually started with reduced voltage

AC INDUCTION MOTOR
TOPIC 2: Small Motors
Manufacturers will be required to comply with the Department of Energys (DOE) energy conservation standard for small electric motors beginning 2015.
A small commercial or industrial electric motor converts electrical energy to rotating mechanical energy. When operating, the electrical energy is transferred as useful mechanical energy to some driven device such as a fan, pump, blower, compressor, or conveyor.
Small electric motors include single phase and polyphase motors built in a two-digit National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) frame and are rated from to 3 horsepower.

TOPIC 3: Torque, Starting and Speed Control

BASIC THEORY
Torque is rotating EFFORT, speed is rotating FLOW
Torque = force x radius
Voltage is electrical EFFORT, current is FLOW of electrons
Power = EFFORT x FLOW
Mechanical power P(mech) = torque x speed
Electrical power P(elec) = voltage x current
Torque is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, fulcrum, or pivot.
Torque is very important element of Electric machine.
In DC motor:

TORQUE
= , ka = constant for a particular machine Ia = Armature current
50
TORQUE
The torque developed by AC induction motor is given by Td = nV1
2R2 / S s[(R1+R2/S)
2+(X1+X2)2]
Where
n= no. of poles V1 is supply voltage S is slip (difference between the synchronous speed and the shaft rotating
speed) R1 and R2 stator and rotor resistance respectively X1 and X2 stator and rotor inductance respectively s synchronous speed (depends on the input power frequency and the number of
electrical magnetic poles in the motor)
A torque speed curve shows how a motor's torque production varies throughout the different phases of its operation.
Starting torque, also called locked rotor torque, is produced by a motor when it is initially turned on. Starting torque is the amount required to overcome the inertia of a standstill.
Pull-up torque is the minimum torque generated by a motor as it accelerates from standstill to operating speed. If a motor's pull-up torque is less than that required by its application load, the motor will overheat and eventually stall.
51
TORQUE-SPEED CHARACTERISTICS
Breakdown torque is the greatest amount of torque a motor can attain without stalling. High breakdown torque is necessary for applications that may undergo frequent overloading . One such application is a conveyor belt. Often, conveyor belts have more product placed upon them than their rating allows. High breakdown torque enables the conveyor to continue operating under these conditions without causing heat damage to the motor.
Full load torque is produced by a motor functioning at a rated speed and horsepower. The operating life is significantly diminished in motors continually run at levels exceeding full load torque.
52
TORQUE-SPEED CHARACTERISTICS
Synchronous speed is the speed at which no torque is generated by a motor. This occurs in motors that run while not connected to a load. At synchronous speed, the rotor turns at exactly the same rate as the stator's rotating magnetic field. Since there is no slip, there is no torque produced
53
TORQUE-SPEED CHARACTERISTICS
m=Pm/T=nm x 2/60
since T= kaIa m=Pm/kaIa

55
USEFULL RELATIONSHIP IN AC MOTOR
Many applications require the speed of a motor to be varied over a wide range. One of the most attractive features of DC motors in comparison with AC motors is the ease with which their speed can be varied.
We know that the back emf for a separately excited DC motor:
Rearranging the terms,
56
DC MOTOR SPEED CONTROL
From this equation, it is evident that the speed can be varied by using any of the following methods:
Armature voltage control (By varying VT)
Field Control (By Varying )
Armature resistance control (By varying Ra)
57
DC MOTOR SPEED CONTROL
This method is usually applicable to separately excited DC motors. In this method of speed control, Ra and are kept constant.
In normal operation, the drop across the armature resistance is small compared to Eb and therefore:
Eb VT
58
ARMATURE VOLTAGE CONTROL
Since Eb=kam, the equation can be arranged as follows:
m = VT/ka
So, we can simply relate m with the VT in a simple linear equation.
59
ARMATURE VOLTAGE CONTROL
In this method of speed control, Ra and VT remain fixed.
Therefore,
m 1/ and
If as a result of magnetic linearity
So, it will result-in inversely proportional relationship between speed and magnetic flux.
60
FIELD CONTROL
The voltage across the armature can be varied by inserting a variable resistance in series with the armature circuit.
61
ARMATURE RESISTANCE CONTROL
From speed-torque characteristics, we know that:
Rearranging the equation, it will relate m and Ra in a form of linear relationship with negative slope and intercept of VT/K.
Note that VT and in this case are remained constant.
62
ARMATURE RESISTANCE CONTROL
With the reference of the previous equation (page 55), we should have a brief idea on which variable should we manipulate to control the speed of AC motors.
It is related to either power/voltage sources or torque. There are several ways or methods to control the speed which
are: Change the number of poles (in discrete increments -inefficient &
rarely done) torque Change the frequency of the AC signal power/sources Change the slip torque
63
AC MOTORS SPEED CONTROL
Variable speed AC Motor adjustable speed drives are known as
inverters,
variable frequency drives (VFD) , or
adjustable speed drives (ASD).
Common ways to vary AC frequency:
Six-step inverter
Pulse-Width-Modulation
Vector Flux 64
CHANGE AC FREQUENCY
AC rectified to DC, then switched to imitate a sine wave
65
SIX-STEP INVERTER
DC voltage (rectified AC) rapidly switched to match "area under curve"
66
PULSE-WIDTH MODULATION
Vector control implies that an ac motor is forced to behave dynamically as a dc motor by the use of feedback control.
Always consider the stator frequency to be a variable quantity.
Think in synchronous coordinates.
67
VECTOR FLUX
Important to match the motor to the load
ensure that a change in motor power gives a desired change in load speed
Load should have a substantial inertial components
inertial torque can "carry" the load through brief periods when motor torque cannot
Best used with motors designed for high slip
68
CHANGING ROTOR SLIP
Additional series resistance reduces voltage across main windings
69
VARIABLE SERIES RESISTANCE
More efficient than previous method, no power wasted in the series

VARIABLE VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER
Commonly used with 3-speed fan motors (like the one in AC Motor Lab)
