MACHINES
TYPES OF AC MACHINES
1) SYNCHRONOUS MOTORS
External source is required to initiate the machine.
Doubly excited machine
Requires both AC and DC
once started runs with constant speed.
2) ASYNCHRONOUS MOTORS
Self excited machine
Follow law of electromagnetic induction
Singly excited
Speed decreases with increase in load
95% motors are induction motors

What is induction Motor?
SLIP
“The difference between synchronous speed and actual
speed of rotor is called slip”
S= Ns-N
Where
Ns=(120f)/P
f=frequency of supply
P=no. of poles
N=actual speed of rotor
Ns=synchronous speed
AT STAND STILL:
S=Ns-N
S=Ns-0
S=Ns
S=1(Maximum)
AT RUNNING CONDITION:
s= Ns-N
If Ns=N
S=0
Percentage Slip:

Effects: (Factors effected by slip)
a)ROTOR VOLTAGE:

If s=1
Es=E2 (voltage maximum)
If s=0
Es=0 (voltage is zero)

TORQUE IN INDUCTION
MOTOR
There are two types of torque in induction motor
Starting torque
Running torque
STARTING TORQUE
“The torque developed by motor at the instant of starting
is called starting torque”
Tst ∝ E2I2cosØ --------- (1)
E2 = rotor emf/phase at stanstill
R2 = Rotor resistance/phase
X2 = rotor reactance/phase
Z2 =√ (R22+X22) = rotor impedance/phase
C

X2
Ø
A R2 B
I2 = E2/Z2 = E2/ √ (R22+X22)
cosØ = R2/Z2 = R2/ √ (R22+X22)
From equation (1)
Tst = K1 E2I2cosØ
= K1E2 [E2/ √ (R22+X22) ][R2/ √ (R22+X22) ]
Tst = [K1 E22 R2/ (R22+X22) ] --------- (2)
Tst = [K2R2/ (R22+X22) ] ---------- (3)
Let K2= K1 E22
Differentiating equation(2) w.r.t R2
d Tst/dR2 = d/dR2 [K2R2/ (R22+X22) ]
= K2 (R22+X22) (1) - R2 (2 R2+0)
(R22+X22)
Put d Tst/dR2 =0 for maximum torque
0 = K2 (R22+X22-2R22)
-R22+X22 = 0
R 2 2 = X2 2
R2= X2 --------------- (4)
This is the condition for achieving maximum starting
torque.
RUNNING TORQUE
Tr = [K1S2 E22 R2/ (R22+X22) ]

TO DRAW CIRCLE DIAGRAM OF AC
INDUCTION MOTOR
To draw circle diagram of induction motor there are
three types of tests to be performed.
1. No load test
2. The DC test for stator resistance
3. The locked or blocked rotor test
NO LOAD TEST:
The no load test of an induction motor measures the
rotational losses of the motor provides information
about its magnetization current. The only load on the
motor are the frictional and the windage losses. So all
input power in this test is consumed by mechanical
losses and the slip of the motor in this case is very
small.

As
W0 = √3V0I0cosØ0
cosØ0 = W0/(√3V0I0)
Ø0 = cos-1 [W0/(√3V0I0)]
THE DC TEST FOR STATOR
RESISTANCE
In the DC test, a DC voltage is applied to the stator
winding of an induction motor. As current has DC
value there is no induced voltage in the rotor circuit
and no resulting rotor current flow. Also the reactance
of the motor is zero at Dc current, therefore the only
quantity limiting current flow in the motor is the stator
resistance that can be determined.

THE LOCKED OR BLOCKED ROTOR
TEST
This test corresponds to the short circuit test on a
transformer. In this test we utilize the variac
transformer to supply the motor. Rotor is locked or
blocked so that it cant move. Resulting values of
voltage current and power are measured.
