Working Principle of 1-phase Induction Motor


1-PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR
For the motoring action, there must exist two fluxes which interact with each other to produce the torque. In d.c. motors, field winding produces the main flux while d.c. supply given to armature is responsible to produce armature flux. The main flux and armature flux interact to produce the torque.

       In the single phase induction motor, single phase a.c. supply is given to the stator winding. The stator winding carries an alternating current which produces the flux which is also alternating in nature. This flux is called main flux. This flux links with the rotor conductors and due to transformer action e.m.f. gets induced in the rotor. The induced e.m.f. drives current through the rotor as rotor circuit is closed circuit. This rotor current produces another flux called rotor flux required for the motoring action. Thus second flux is produced according to induction principle due to induced e.m.f. hence the motor is called induction motor. As against this in d.c. motor a separate supply is required to armature to produce armature flux. This is an important difference between d.c. motor and an induction motor.
      Another important difference between the two is that the d.c. motors are self starting while single phase induction motors are not self starting.
       Let us see why single phase induction motors are not self starting with the help of  a theory called double revolving field theory.

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.

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 ...
