An electric motor is a device which converts an electrical energy into a
mechanical energy. This mechanical energy then can be supplied to various
types of loads. The motors can operate on DC as well as 1-) and 3- @
supply.
The motors operating on DC supply are called DC motors, while motors
operating on AC supply are called AC motors.
The AC motors are classified as 1-s) and 3-c) Induction motors,
Synchronous motors and some special purpose motors. Out of all these
types, 3-d Induction motors are widely used for various industrial
applications.
The important Advantages of 3-t) Induction motors over other types are
Self starting property, No need of starting device, High power factor,
Good speed regulation and Robust construction.
The working principle of 3- @ Induction motors is based on the production
of Rotating Magnetic Field (RMF).Rotating Magnetic Field (RMF)
The Rotating magnetic field can be defined as the field or flux having
constant amplitude but whose axis is continuously rotating in a plane with
a certain speed (Synchronous speed Ns)
In 3- ¢ Induction motors, such a rotating magnetic field is produced by
supplying currents to a set of stationary windings, with the help of 3-
AC supply.
The current carrying windings produce the magnetic field or flux. And due
to interaction of three fluxes produced due to 3- q supply, resultant flux
has a constant magnitude (1.5¢),,) and its axis rotating in space, without
physically rotating three windings.
This type of field is nothing but Rotating Magnetic Field (RMF).

Construction
Like any other type of electrical motor induction motor, a3 phase induction motor is
constructed from two main parts, namely the rotor and stator
1 Stator: As its name indicates stator isa stationary part of induction motor. A stator
‘winding is placed in the stator of induction motor and the three phase supply is given
to it
2. Rotor: The rotor is a rotating part of induction motor. The rotor is connected to the
mechanical load through the shaft. Stator
EEStator:
* Stator of an IM consists of steel frame
which contains hallow cylindrical
hole made up of thin laminations of
silicon steel to reduce hysteresis and
eddy current losses.
+ The number of evenly spaced slots
are provided on inner periphery of
the laminations.
* The insulated conductors are placed
in the stator slots and are suitably
connected to form a balanced 3-
star or delta connections.
Rotor:
* Rotor is placed inside the stator.
* Rotor is mounted on the shaft of a
hallow laminated core having slots on
its outer periphery, the windings are
placed in these slots are called rotor
windings and they may be of many
types like:

Rotor consists of bars which are shorted
at the ends with the help of end rings
Construction is very simple. As
permanently shorted, external resistance

Very common and almost 95%
induction motors use this type of rotor
Rotor copper losses are less, hence have
higher efficiency.
Used for Lathes, drilling machines, Fans,
Blowers, Water pumps, Grinders and

Rotor consists of a three phase winding
similar to the stator winding
Construction is complicated. Resistance
can be added externally
Only 5% of induction motors in

esPrinciple of Operation of 3- @ Induction Motor
Induction motor works on the principle of Electromagnetic induction.
When a 3-c) supply is given to the 3- #) stator winding, a rotating magnetic
field of constant magnitude is produced. The speed of this rotating
magnetic field is synchronous speed, Ns = 120f/P rpm.
This rotating field produces an effect of rotating poles around a rotor, Let
direction of rotation of this rotating magnetic field is clockwise as shown
below:
Now at this instant rotor is stationary and stator flux RMF is rotating. So its
obvious that there exists a relative motion between the RMF and rotor
conductors.
Now RMF gets cut by the rotor conductors as RMF sweeps over rotor
conductors. Whenever conductor cuts the flux, EMF gets induced in it
called Rotor Induced EMF (Faradays laws).
As rotor forms closed circuit, induced emf circulates current through rotor
called rotor current.Principle of Operation of 3- @ Induction
Motor
Let direction of this current is going into the paper denoted by (X).
Any current carrying conductor produces its own flux, so rotor produces its
flux called Rotor flux. For assumed direction of rotor current, the direction
of rotor flux is clockwise.
Now there exists two fluxes, one RMF and other is rotor flux. Both the
fluxes interact with each as shown below:
On left of rotor conductor, two fluxes are in same direction hence add up to
get high flux area. On the right side, two fluxes cancel each other to
produce low flux area. As flux lines act like a stretched rubber band, high
flux density area exerts a push on rotor conductor towards low flux density
area. So rotor conductors experiences a force from left to right.
As all the rotor conductors experiences a force, the overall rotor
experiences a torque and starts rotating, So interaction of the two fluxes is
very essential for a motoring action.
Hence Rotor starts rotating in the same direction as that of Rotating
Magnetic Field.Slip of 3- @ Induction Motor
* So N, = Speed of rotating magnetic field (RMF) in rpm
: N = speed of rotor i.e motor in rpm
(Ns-N) = Relative speed between the two speed is called Slip speed
+ In practical, rotor continues to rotate with a speed slightly less than the
synchronous speed of the rotating magnetic field (N < Ns) .

440 rpmInduction Motor as a Transformer
Both induction motor and transformer works under the principle of Electromagnetic
induction. In transformer, primary winding and secondary winding are
magnetically coupled. Whereas in induction motor, the stator and rotor.
A transformer is said to be alternating flux transformer because alternating flux is
used to induce the mutually induced emf in the secondary side. Whereas a induction
motor is said to rotating flux transformer because rotating flux is used to induce the
mutually induced emf in the rotor of the motor In a alternating flux transformer the
frequency of induced emf and current in primary and secondary is always same.
However in the induction motor frequency of emf and current on the stator side
remains same but frequency of rotor emf and current depends on the slip, where slip
depends on load on the motor, so we have a variable frequency on the rotor of the
motor. During starting of induction motor, the slip (S = 1) which means the
frequency of supply to the stator and of induced emf in the rotor are same at
starting. In alternating flux transformer, the entire energy present in the secondary
circuit is in the form as electrical form. Whereas, in rotating flux transformer, the
entire energy present in the secondary circuit is in the form as Mechanical form are
magnetically coupled
0 samaEffect of Slip on Rotor Parameters
https:/[Link]/2015/03/[Link]
In case of a transformer, frequency of the induced e.m. in the secondary is same as the voltage applied to
primary. Now in case of induction motor at start N = 0 and slip s = 1. Under this condition as long as s = 1, the
frequency of induced e.m-f. in rotor is same as the voltage applied to the stator. But as motor gathers speed,
induction motor has some slip corresponding to speed N. In such case, the frequency of induced e.m.f. in
rotor is no longer same as that of stator voltage. Slip affects the frequency of rotor induced e.m.f. Due to this
some other rotor parameters also get affected. Let us study the effect of slip on the following rotor
parameters.
1. Rotor frequency
2. Magnitude of rotor induced emf.
[Link] reactance
4, Rotor power factor
5. Rotor current(i) Effect of Slip on Rotor Frequency
In case of induction motor, the speed of rotating magnetic field is,
1)
N,=(120F)/P
Where f= Frequency of supply in Hz
At start when N = 0, s = 1 and stationary rotor has maximum relative motion with respect to R.M.F. Hence
maximum e.m4. gets induced in the rotor at start. The frequency of this induced e.m£. at start is same as that
of supply frequency.
‘As motor actually rotates with speed N, the relative speed of rotor with respect RMF. decreases and
becomes equal to slip speed of N, - N. The induced e.m£. in rotor depends on rate of cutting fluxi.e. relative
speed Ns - N.
Hence in running condition magnitude of induced e.m-f. decreases so as to its frequency. The rotor is
wound for same number of poles as that of stator ie. [Link] the frequency of rotor induced [Link]. in
running condition at slip speed Ns ~ N then there exists a fixed relation between (Ns - N), f, and P similar to
equation (1). So we can write for rotor in running condition,
(N,- N) = (120f,)/P , rotor poles = stator poles = P (2)
Dividing (2) by (1) we get,
(IN, -N)/N, = (120,/P)/(120f/P) but (N,~N)/Ns= slips
s=fit
f=sf
7Example: A 4 pole, 3 phase, 50 Hz induction motor runs at a speed of 1470 r.p.m. speed. Find the frequency
of the induced e.m,in the rotor under this condition.
Solution : The given values are,
P=4, f=50Hz, N=1470 rpm.
N, =(120f)/P =(120x50)/4 = 1500 rpm.
(Ns - N)/Ns = (1500-1470)/1500 = 0.02
f, =sf= 0.02x 50=1Hz
Itcan be seen that in running condition, frequency of rotor induced e.m is very small.Effect of Slip on Rotor Induced EMF
We have seen that when rotor is standstill, s = 1, relative speed is maximum and maximum
e.m.f. gets induced in the rotor. Let this e.m.f. be,
E) = Rotor induced e.m.f. per phase on standstill condition
As rotor gains speed, the relative speed between rotor and rotating magnetic field decreases
and hence induced e.m-f. in rotor also decreases as it is proportional to the relative speed Ns - N. Let
this emf. be,
E>, = Rotor induced e.m-f. per phase in running condition
Now E) o& Ne while E27, & Ns - N
Dividing the two proportionality equations,
Ey,/E7=(Ng~N)/Ns but (N,- NY/N=slips
En/Ep=s
Eze =s Ep
The magnitude of the induced e.m- in the rotor also reduces by slip times the magnitude of
induced e.m-f. at standstill condition.
es(iii)Effect of Slip on Rotor Resistance & Reactance
The rotor winding has its own resistance and the inductance. In case of squirrel cage rotor, the
rotor resistance is very very small and generally neglected but slip ring rotor has its own resistance
which can be controlled by adding external resistance through slip rings. In general let,
Rp = Rotor resistance per phase onstandstill
X= Rotor reactance per phase on standstill
Now at standstill, fr=f hence if Lz is the inductance of rotor per phase,
X)=2mfr ly =2nf Ll) O/ph
While Rp = Rotor resistance in Q/ph
Now in running condition, f,=sf hence,
Xr 2nf-Ly= 2s Ly =s (nf La)
Xan 8X2
where Xo, = Rotor reactance in running condition
Thus resistance as independent of frequency remains same at standstill and in run
condition. While the rotor reactance decreases by slip times the rotor reactance at standstill.
Hence we can write rotor impedance per phase as :
2) = Rotor impedance on standstill (N = 0) condition
= R2 +] X2 Q/ph
Zp = V( R24 X2)2) Q/ph . magnitude
While Za, = Rotor impedance in running condition
= Ro +j Xar= Ro *j (S X2) Q/ph
Zar = V(R22+ (s X2)4)_ Q/ph
magnitude
es(iv) Effect of Slip on Rotor Power factor
From rotor impedance, we can write the expression for the power factor of rotor at standstill and also in
running condition.
The impedance triangle on standstill condition is shown in the Fig1. From it we can write,
cos ®» = Rotor power factor on standstill
= Ro/Zp=Ro/V(Ro* Xo")
The impedance in running condition becomes Z2, and the corresponding impedance triangle is shown in the
Fig.2. From Fig. 2we can write,
cos or = Rotor power factor in running condition
= RolZay=RoN(R2+ (8X0)(v) Effect of Slip on Rotor Current
Let |)= Rotor current per phase on standstill condition
The magnitude of Ip depends on magnitude of Ey and impedance Z, per phase.
|p = (Ep per phase)/(Zy per phase) A
The value of slip depends on speed which inturn depends on load on motor hence Xo, is shown variable in
the equivalent circuit. From the equivalent we can write,

supply. Determine the number of poles and slip.
Since N is 290 rpm; Ns has to be somewhere near it, Ns = 300 rpm.
Therefore 300 = 60 x f\/P =60x50/P. Hence, P = 10 and total number of poles is 2P =

The maximum torque is inversely proportional to rotor

The maximum torque is independent of rotor resistance.
The slip at which maximum torque occur depends upon rotor
resistance, R,. So, by varying the rotor resistance, maximum
torque can be obtained at any required slip.

TraxTorque Slip Characteristics of Three phase IM
As the IM is loaded from No load to Full load, its speed decreases hence
slip increases.
The curve obtained by plotting torque against slip from s =1 (start) tos = 0
(at synchronous speed) is called Torque — Slip characteristics.
At constant supply voltage, E, is also constant, so we write torque equation
as
T = s.R,/ [RP+(8X,P]
Now to judge the nature of torque-slip characteristics, let us divide the
slip range (s = 0 to s = 1) into two parts and analyze them independently.
(i) Low Slip Region
Gi) High Slip RegionTorque Slip Characteristics of Three phase IM
(i) Low Slip Region :
In low slip region, s is very very small. Due to this the term (sX.
compared to/R,” , that it can be neglected
so small as
Ta s.R/R, as --- as R, is constant
+ Hence in low slip region torque is directly proportional to slip. So as load
increases, speed decreases, increasing the slip. This increases the torque which
satisfied the load demand. Hence the graph is straight line in nature
+ AtN=N,,s =0 hence T= 0. As no torque is generated at N=Ns, motor stops if it
tries to achieve the synchronous speed. Torque increases linearly in this region,
of low slip values.
+ So range s = 0 to s = §,, is called low slip region, known as Stable region of
operation.Torque Slip Characteristics of Three Phase IM
(ii) High Slip Region :
In this region, slip is very high i.e slip value is approaching to 1. Here it can
be assumed that the term R,? is very very small as compared to (SX)?
Hence neglecting R,? from the denominator, we get
Ta sR, (sX,)? al/s --- as X, & R, are constants
So in high slip region torque is inversely proportional to the slip. Hence it
is like rectangular hyperbola.
Now when load increases, load demand increases but speed decreases. As
speed decrease, Slip increases, In high slip region as T a I/ s , torque
decreases as slip increases. But torque must increase to satisfy the load
demand. Again torque decreases as T @ 1/ s hence same load acts as an
extra load due to reduction in torque produced. Hence speed further drops.
Eventually motor comes to standstill condition. The motor cannot continue
to rotate at any point in this high slip region. Hence this region is called
Unstable region of operation.
So range s = s,, to s = 1 is called High slip region, known as Unstable
region of operation.A

AC Generator
AC. system has a number of advantages over d.c. system. These days 3-phase
ac. system is being exclusively used for generation, transmission and
distribution of power. The machine which produces 3-phase power from
mechanical power is called an alternator or synchronous generator. Alternators
are the primary source of all the electrical energy we consume. These machines
are the largest energy converters found in the world. They convert mechanical
energy into a.c. energy.Difference between a Generator and an Alternator
A Generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is of two types le
AC and DC generators. DC generator converts the ME to unidirectional EE whereas the AC generator
converts the ME to an alternating EE. An AC generator is classified as a synchronous generator and
an Induction generator.
© Itis also a type of generator that converts the input mechanical energy into an output alternating
electrical energy. It rotates at the synchronous speed |,e N, = N, and constant frequency. Simply, it is
an AC generator that is used commonly in automotive. It is also suitable for conventional energy
power station |e thermal, nuclear, hydro and gas power stations.

esConstruction of Alternator
An alternator has 3,-phase winding on the stator and a d.c. field winding on the
rotor.
1. Stator
It is the stationary part of the machine and is built up of sheet-steel laminations
having slots on its inner periphery. A 3-phase winding is placed in these slots
and serves as the armature winding of the alternator. The armature winding is
always connected in star and the neutral is connected to ground.
2. Rotor
The rotor carries a field winding which is supplied with direct current through
two slip rings by a separate dic. source. This dic. source (called exciter) is
generally a small d.c. shunt or compound generator mounted on the shaft of the
alternator. Rotor construction is of two types. namely:
(i) Salient (or projecting) pole type

esDC GeneratorAlternator Operation
The rotor winding is energized from the d.c. exciter and alternate N and S poles
are developed on the rotor. When the rotor is rotated in anti-clockwise direction
by a prime mover, the stator or armature conductors are cut by the magnetic flux
of rotor poles. Consequently, [Link]. is induced in the armature conductors due to
electromagnetic induction. The induced e.m.f. is alternating since N and S poles
of rotor alternately pass the armature conductors. The direction of induced e.m.f,
can be found by Fleming’s right hand rule and frequency is given by:

where N= speed of rotor in rpm.

The fiequency of induced e.m4. in the armature conductors depends upon speed
and the number of poles.
Let N = rotor speed in r.p.m.
P = number of rotor poles
f= frequency of emf. in Hz
Consider a stator conductor that is successively swept by the N and S poles of
the rotor. If a positive voltage is induced when a N-pole sweeps across the
conductor, a similar negative voltage is induced when a S-pole sweeps by. This
means that one complete cycle of e.m.f. is generated in the conductor as a pair of
poles passes it ie., one N-pole and the adjacent following S-pole. The same is
true for every other armature conductor.
No. of cycles/revolution = No. of pairs of poles = P/2
No. of revolutions/second = N/60
No. of cycles/second = (P/2)(N/60) = N P/120
But number of cycles of e.m.f. per second is its frequency.
It may be noted that N is the synchronous speed and is generally represented by
N,. For a given alternator, the number of rotor poles is fixed and, therefore, the
altermator must be run at synchronous speed to give an output of desired
frequency. For this reason, an alternator is sometimes called synchronous
generator.
esPrinciple of Operation of Alternator
The working principle of alternator is very simple. It is just like basic
principle of DC Generator. It also depends upon Faradays laws of
electromagnetic induction which says the current is induced in the
conductor inside a magnetic field when there is a relative motion between
that conductor and the magnetic field. As armature is connected to
commutator in a d.c generator, armature must be rotating member while
field as a stationary. But in case of Alternators it is possible to have
Rotating field & Stationary armature
The generation level of AC voltage may be higher as 11 kV to 33 kV. This
gets induced in the armature. For stationary armature large space can be
provided to accommodate large number of conductors and the insulation.
It is easier to collect large currents at very high voltages from a stationary
member than from slip ring and brush assembly.
Due to low voltage level of the field side, the insulation required is less and
hence field system has very low inertia.
If field is rotating, to excite it by an external DC supply two s
enough. One each for positive and negative terminals.
p rings areWith the very basic principle of an Alternator, let us now have an insight into its
Basic Operational Principle of a Practical Alternator.
During the discussion of the basic working principle of an Alternator, we have
considered that the magnetic field is stationary and conductors (armature) is
rotating.
But generally in practical construction of Alternator :
Armature conductors are stationary and Field magnets rotate between them.
The Rotor of an Alternator or a Synchronous generator is mechanically coupled
to the shaft or the turbine blades, which is made to rotate at Synchronous speed N,
under some mechanical force results in magnetic flux cutting of the stationary
armature conductors housed on the stator.
As a direct consequence of this flux cutting, an induced emf and current starts to
flow through the armature conductors which first flow in one direction for the first
half cycle and then in the other direction for the second half cycle for each winding
with a definite time lag of 120° due to the space displaced arrangement of 120°
between them as shown in the figure below.
This particular phenomenon results in three-phase power flow out of the
alternator which is then transmitted to the distribution stations for domestic and
industrial uses.TYPES OF ALTERNATOR

A stepper motor is an incremental motor machine (i.e the motor which
turns in discrete moments called the steps).
It will not rotate continuously as a conventional motor does. A stepper
motor is a type of synchronous motor which is designed to rotate through a
specific number of degrees for electrical pulse received by its control .
The unique feature of a stepper motor is that the rotor is made up of soft
iron without windings. These features makes the motor robust .
Applications:
Computer printers
Recorded heads
Used in wrist watches in 3mm diameter also employed to perform such as ,
metering, mixing, cutting , several commercial military applications. The
power output ranges from 1 W to 1500 W.Stepper Motor
[Link] v=
As shown in systematic diagram of 12 stepper motor the rotor has a silent
soft iron poles at a pole pitch of 90°. The stator has 3 coils which are
displaced at a phase difference of 120°. The step angle is 30° , when a coil
is energised the pole one will be attracted by coil A. The pole axis coincides
the coil axis. When a coil A is demagnetized and B is magnetized, the pole
2 which is nearer to coil B will be attracted by coil B. Then the rotor turns
to an angle of 30° as shown in figure B.
When a coil B is demagnetized & C is magnetized. The rotor turns another
30° in the same direction. Thus for every pulse the rotor moves 30° to make
1 revolution 12 steps are required. The step angle can be reduced by
increasing number of poles on the rotor and coils on the stator.
Advantages: Comparability of digital system. The angular displacement
can be precisely controlled without an feed back arrangement.
It can be readily interfaced with micro processor.Stepper Motor / Electro magnetRotor

The most common use of LV switchgear
is in LV distribution board. This system
has the following parts
esIn LV switchgear system, electrical appliances are protected against
short circuit and over load conditions by Electrical Fuses or
Electrical Circuit Breaker.
However, the human operator is not adequately protected against
the faults occurs inside the appliances.
The problem can be overcome by using earth leakage circuit
breaker.
This ELCB (earth leakage circuit breakers) operates on low leakage
current. The earth leakage circuit breaker can detect leakage current
as low as 100 mA and is capable of disconnecting the appliance in
Jess than 100 msec.Components of LT Switchgear

Fuse is a short piece of metal, inserted in the circuit with low melting point.
When high current flows through the circuit due to overloading or short
circuit, the wires gets heated and melts, thus the circuit breaks and current
stops flowing.

esCircuit Breaker (CB)
CB is a switching device which can be operated manually and
automatically for the controlling and protection of electrical power
systems respectively.
During short circuit fault or any other type of electrical fault, these
equipments as well as the power network suffers from high stress of fault
current, which in turn damages the equipment and networks permanently.
For saving these equipment and the power networks, the fault current
should be cleared form the system as quickly as possible.
Again after the fault is cleared, the system must come to its normal working
condition as soon as possible for supplying reliable quality power to the
receiving ends.
A CB essentially consists of fixed and moving contacts, called fixed and
moving electrodes. Under normal operating conditions, these contacts
remains closed, until and unless the system becomes faulty.
The contacts can be opened manually or by remote control whenever
desired. When a fault occurs in any part of the system, the trip coils of the
breaker gets energised and the moving contacts are pulled apart by some
mechanism, thus opening the circuit.Types of CB’s

MCB?’s are electromechanical devices which protect an electrical circuit
from over currents.
Over currents in an electrical circuit may results from short circuit,
overload or faulty design.
MCB is a better alternative than fuse, since it does not require replacement
once an overload is detected.
MCB functions by interrupting the continuity of electrical flow through the
circuit once a fault is detected.
Generally MCB’s are designed to protect against over current and over
temperature faults (over heating)Working principle
There are two contacts- one is fixed and the other is moveable.
When current exceeds the predefined limit, a solenoid forces the moveable
contact to open (i.e to disconnect from the fixed contact) and the MCB
turns off, thereby stopping the current from flowing in the circuit.
When overload conditions exits, the temperature of bimetallic strip
increases as excess current flows through it. Hence due to heat generated in
metallic strip the thermal expansion of metal occurs which just creates
deflection using deflection of bimetallic strip the latch get removed which
makes contacts separate there by protect the circuit.

MCCB’s are electromechnical devices which protect circuit from over
load, short circuit conditions. The current ranges from 63A to 200A.
These are an alternative to a fuse, since it does not require replacement
once an overload is detected. Unlike fuse, an MCCB can be easily reset
after a fault and offers improved operational safety and convenience
without incurring operating cost.
MCCB are comprised with five major components such as Molded case

Microprocessor release: In this case, microprocessor is used to monitor
over current in circuit if current exceeds it determining value, The circuit
breaker isolates circuit from faulty conditions. This type is used and has
several advantages like accuracy reliability when compared with other

1. Durability: Types of wiring selected should conform to standard specifications, so
that it is durable i.e. without being affected by weather conditions, fumes ete.
2. Safety: The wiring must provide safety against leakage, shock and fire hazards for
the operating personnel.
3. Appearance: Electrical wiring should give an aesthetic appeal to the interiors.
4, Cost: It should not be prohibitively expensive.
5. Accessibility: The switches and plug points provided should be easily accessible.
There must be provision for further extension of the wiring system, if necessary.
Maintenance Cost: The maintenance cost should be a minimum,
ical safety: The wiring must be protected against any mechanical illDifference between Wire and Cable
According to Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) , wire and cable can be
defined as follows:
Wire: If a bare conductor is provided with insulation, then it is known as a
wire. The insulation separates the conductor electrically from other
conductor.
Cable: It consists of two or more conductors covered with suitable
insulation and surrounded by a_ protecting cover. The necessary
requirements of a cable are that it should conduct electricity efficiently,
cheaply and safely. Its insulation should be such that it prevents leakage of
current in unwanted direction to minimize risk of fire and shock.
The cable essentially consists of three parts:
Conductor or core - the metal wire, or strand of wires, carrying the current
Insulation or dielectric - a covering of insulating material to avoid
leakage of currents from the conductor and
Protective covering for protection of insulation from mechanical damageTypes of Electrical Wiring
