Equivalent Circuit of Single Phase Induction Motor


SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR
The double revolving field theory can be effectively used to obtain the equivalent circuit of a single phase induction motor. The method consists of determining the values of both the fields clockwise and anticlockwise at any given slip. When the two fields are known, the torque produced by each can be obtained. The difference between these two torques is the net torque acting on the rotor.

       
 Imagine the single phase induction motor is made up of one stator winding and two imaginary rotor windings. One rotor is rotating in forward direction i.e. in the direction of rotating magnetic field with slip s while other is rotating in backward direction i.e. in direction of oppositely directed rotating magnetic field with slip 2 - s.
       
To develop the equivalent circuit, let us assume initially that the core loss is absent.

1. Without core loss

Let the stator impedance be Z Ω
                            Z = R1 + j X1
Where                  R1 = Stator resistance
                             X1 = Stator reactance
And                      X2  = rotor reactance referred to stator
                             R2 = rotor resistance referred to stator
       Hence the impedance of each rotor is r2 + j x2   where
                            x2 = X2/2
       The resistance of forward field rotor is r2/s while the resistance of backward field rotor is r2 /(2 - s). The r2 value is half of the actual rotor resistance referred to stator.
       As the core loss is neglected, Ro is not existing in the equivalent circuit. The xo is half of the actual magnetising reactance of the motor. So the equivalent circuit referred to stator is shown in the Fig.1.

FIGURE.1

Now the impedance of the forward field rotor is Zf  which is parallel combination of  (0 + j xo ) and (r2 /s) + j x2

While the impedance of the backward field rotor is Zb which is parallel combination of  (0 + j xo) and (r2 / 2-s) + j x2.


Under standstill condition, s = 1 and 2 - s = 1 hence Zf  = Zb  and hence Vf = Vb . But in the running condition, Vf  becomes almost 90 to 95% of the applied voltage.
...                           Zeq  = Z1  + Zf  + Zb   = Equivalent impedance
Let                         I2f  = Current through forward rotor referred to stator
and                         I2b  = Current through backward rotor referred to stator
...                            I2f  = /((r2/s) + j x2) where Vf  = I1  x Zf 
and                         I2b  = /((r2/2-s)  + j x2)
                               Pf  = Power input to forward field rotor
                                   = (I2f)2 (r2/s)  watts
                               Pb = Power input to backward field rotor
                                    = (I2b)2 (r2/2-s) watts
                              Pm  = (1 - s){ Net power input}
                                    = (1 - s) (Pf  - Pb ) watts
                              Pout = Pm - mechanical loss - core loss
...                           Tf  = forward torque = Pf /(2πN/60) N-m
and                        Tb = backward torque = Pb /(2πN/60) N-m
                               T = net torque = Tf  - Tb 
while                       Tsh  = shaft torque = Pout /(2πN/60) N-m
                              %η = (net output / net input) x 100

2. With core loss

       If the core loss is to be considered then it is necessary to connect a resistance in parallel with, in an exciting branch of each rotor is half the value of actual core loss resistance. Thus the equivalent circuit with core loss can be shown as in the Fig. 2.

FIGURE.2
 Let                    Zof  = Equivalent impedance of exciting branch in forward rotor
                              = ro║(j xo )
and                     Zob  = Equivalent impedance of exciting branch in backward rotor
                                  = ro║(j xo )
...                          Zf  = Zof  ║( r2/s + j x2 )
       All other expressions remains same as stated earlier in case of equivalent circuit without core loss.

Basic Principle Of Alternator

Image
A.C. generators or alternators (as they are usually called) operate on the same fundamental principles of electromagnetic induction as d.c. generators. They also consist of an armature winding and a magnetic field. But there is one important difference between the two. Whereas in d.c. generators, the armature rotates and the field system is stationary, the arrangement in alternators is just the reverse of it. In their case, standard construction consists of armature winding mounted on a stationary element called stator and field windings on a rotating element called rotor. The details of construction are shown in Fig. alternator The stator consists of a cast-iron frame, which supports the armature core, having slots on its inner periphery for housing the armature conductors. The rotor is like a flywheel having alternate N and S poles fixed to its outer rim. The magnetic poles are excited (or magnetised) from direct current supplied by a d.c. source at 125 to 600 volts. In mo...

Automatic Night Lamp with Morning Alarm using 8085 Microprocessor

Image
As the name suggests “Automatic Night Lamp with Morning Alarm” was developed using Microprocessor. 8085 is the Heart of the system. The sensors are made with help of LDR which are Light Dependent Resistors, whose Resistance is inversely proportional to the Light falling on it. The LDR converts the light energy into electrical energy and this variable electrical energy was converted into digital signal (0 or 1) by using the timer IC555. The Timer IC output goes low when light falls on the LDR and the timer IC output goes high when the LDR was placed in dark circuit is as shown in below figure: circuit the flow chart for Automatic Night Lamp with Morning Alarm using 8085 Microprocessor is as shown in following fig. flow chart the program for Automatic Night Lamp with Morning Alarm using 8085 Microprocessor this is as shown below make sure that the Power supply pins & Port number before you connect the Hardware to the Trainer Kit. 0001   0000 0002   0000 ...

difference between earthed and unearthed cables

Introduction: In HT electrical distribution, the system can be earthed or unearthed. The selection of earthed/unearthed cable will depend on system. If distribution system is earthed then we have to use cable which is manufactured for earthed system. (Which the manufacturer specifies). If the system is unearthed then we need to use cable which is manufactured for unearthed system. The unearthed system requires high insulation level compared to earthed System. For earthed and unearthed XLPE cables, the IS 7098 part2 1985 does not give any difference in specification. The insulation level for cable for unearthed system has to be more. Earthed System:            Earlier the generators and transformers were of small capacities and hence the fault current was less. The star point was solidly grounded. This is called earthed system. In Three phases earthed system, phase to earth voltage is 1.732 times less than phase to phase ...
