This document discusses squirrel cage induction motors (SCIMs), including their working principles and classifications. SCIMs are a type of three-phase induction motor that uses a "squirrel cage" rotor. The rotating magnetic field produced by the stator induces currents in the squirrel cage rotor, causing it to spin. SCIMs are classified into six classes based on their electrical characteristics, with Class A having high efficiency but also high starting current, while Class C "double cage" motors provide high starting torque with low starting current.
The document discusses AC motors, specifically three-phase induction motors. It describes that AC motors convert alternating current into mechanical energy. There are two main types of three-phase induction motors: squirrel cage induction motors and slip ring induction motors. Squirrel cage motors have copper or aluminum bars short circuited in the rotor, while slip ring motors have wound rotor conductors that allow external resistance to be added, controlling starting current. The document explains the working principle of induction motors, which use rotating magnetic fields in the stator to induce currents in the rotor and generate torque.

The document discusses the three phase induction motor. It describes the motor's construction including its stator and rotor. It explains the working principle of how a rotating magnetic field is produced in the stator by a three phase supply which causes induction in the rotor and causes it to rotate at a speed slightly less than synchronous speed. It also defines key terms like synchronous speed and slip. The document states that induction motors are self-starting due to the 120 degree phase difference between the three phase supply lines which produces a rotating magnetic field to start the rotor turning.

The three phase induction motor consists of a stationary stator and a rotating rotor. The stator contains three-phase windings that generate a rotating magnetic field. This rotating field induces currents in the rotor windings, causing the rotor to turn. There are two common types of rotors - squirrel cage and wound rotor. A squirrel cage rotor has embedded conductors inside its core that are permanently short-circuited. A wound rotor has three insulated windings connected to slip rings to allow external resistance control. Due to slight differences in speed, the rotor always rotates at a slightly slower synchronous speed than the stator's magnetic field.
1) AC motors can be categorized as induction motors or synchronous motors. Induction motors are the most common type and can be single-phase or three-phase.
2) Three-phase induction motors have a stationary stator and a rotating rotor. The rotor can be a squirrel cage design or wound rotor design. Squirrel cage rotors are simpler and require less maintenance.
3) Synchronous motors rotate at exactly the same speed as the frequency of the power supply. They are more efficient than induction motors but require an external mechanism to start rotating.

2. The rotor can be either a squirrel cage (copper or aluminum bars short circuited by end rings) or wound construction.
3. Starters are used to reduce the starting current by lowering the supply voltage and improve starting torque by increasing rotor resistance during start up. Common starting methods include direct-on-line, star-delta, and auto transformer starters.
An alternator is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy from a rotating shaft into electrical energy. It is used in automobiles, diesel-electric locomotives, ships, and power generation stations. There are different types of alternators based on their design, output power, speed of rotation, and cooling method. Common types include salient pole, cylindrical rotor, single phase, three phase, brushless, and turbo alternators. Automotive alternators charge the vehicle's battery and power electrical components. Locomotive alternators power traction motors on trains. Marine alternators are adapted for use on boats. Radio alternators were historically used to generate radio frequencies for transmissions.

8. SYNCHRONOUS SPEED
The synchronous speed is the speed of the
revolution of the magnetic field in the stator
winding of the motor.
P be the total number of field poles,
Ns is the speed of the field in
revolution per minute (r.p.m),
f is the frequency of the generated voltage in
hertz.
9. SLIP
Slip in Induction Motor is the relative speed between the
rotating magnetic flux (synchronous speed) and the speed
of the rotor (actual Speed) . It is a dimensionless quantity.

12. STATOR OF AN
INDUCTION
MOTOR
The stator of an induction motor is common for slip ring and
squirrel cage induction motors and even for a synchronous
motor.
It is made up of a number of stampings, which are slotted to
receive the windings.
The stator carries a 3-phase winding and is fed from a 3-phase
supply.
The stator winding, when supplied with a 3-phase currents,
produce a magnetic flux, which is of constant magnitude but
which revolves at synchronous speed (Ns = 120 x f / p).
This revolving magnetic flux induces emf in rotor by mutual
induction.
13. SQUIRREL CAGE
ROTOR
Almost 90 percentage of induction motors are squirrel-cage type,
because this type of rotor has the simplest and most rugged
construction.
The Rotor consists of cylindrical laminated core with parallel slots for
carrying the rotor conductors which, it should be noted clearly, are not
wires but consists of heavy bars of copper, aluminum or alloys.
One bar is placed in each slot and are brazed or electrically welded to
two heavy end-rings thereby short circuiting all the conductors is called a
squirrel cage construction.
The rotor slots are not quite parallel to the shaft but are purposely given
a slight skew
It helps to make the motor run quietly by reducing the magnetic hum
It helps in reducing the locking tendency of the rotor.
14. SLIP RING ROTOR
This type of rotor is provided with 3-phase, distributed winding
The winding is connected in star or delta
The three winding of the three phases are brought out and are
connected with slip-rings mounted on the shaft with brushes
resting on them.
This makes possible the introduction of additional resistance in the
rotor circuit during the starting period for increasing the starting
torque of the motor and also for rotor control.
15. WORKING OF INDUCTION MOTORS
Induction motor works on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
When three phase supply is given to the stator winding, a rotating
magnetic field of constant magnetic field is produced and rotates at
synchronous speed
This rotating field produces an effect of rotating poles around a rotor.
Now the R.M.F. gets cut by rotor conductors as R.M.F. sweeps over rotor
conductors.
Whenever a conductor cuts the flux, emf. gets induced in it. As rotor
forms closed circuit, induced emf. circulates current through rotor called
rotor current.
Any current carrying conductor produces its own flux. So rotor produces
its flux called rotor flux. Now there are two fluxes, one R.M.F. and another
rotor flux.
Both the fluxes interact with each other hence the conductor experiences
a force, due to interaction of the two fluxes.
As all rotor conductor experiences a force, overall rotor experiences a
torque and starts rotating.
So interaction of the two fluxes is very essential for a motoring action. The
direction of force is same as that of rotating magnetic field. Hence rotor
starts rotating in the same direction as that of R.M.F.
17. SPEED -TORQUE
CHARACTERISTICS
Motoring mode
In this mode of operation, supply is given to the stator sides and the motor always
rotates below the synchronous speed. The induction motor torque varies from
zero to full load torque as the slip varies. The slip varies from zero to one. It is zero
at no load and one at standstill. From the curve it is seen that the torque is directly
proportional to the slip.
That is, more is the slip, more will be the torque produced and vice-versa. The
linear relationship simplifies the calculation of motor parameter to great extent.
Generating mode
In this mode of operation induction motor runs above the synchronous speed and
it should be driven by a prime mover. The stator winding is connected to a three
phase supply in which it supplies electrical energy. Actually, in this case, the torque
and slip both are negative so the motor receives mechanical energy and delivers
electrical energy. Induction motor is not much used as generator because it
requires reactive power for its operation.
Braking mode
In the Braking mode, the two leads or the polarity of the supply voltage is changed
so that the motor starts to rotate in the reverse direction and as a result the motor
stops.
26. UNIVERSAL MOTOR
A universal motor is a special type of
motor that runs on both AC and DC power
supplies. Universal motors are series-
wound (the armature and field windings
are in series). The series connection
allows them to generate high torque;
hence the universal motors are generally
built into the device they are meant to
drive.
Most of the universal motors are meant
to operate at speeds as high as 3500
RPM. These motors run at a higher speed
on DC supply than they run on AC supply
of the same voltage. This is due to the
reactance voltage drop that is present
only in AC and not in DC.
28. Applications
Universal motors are used in
applications where high speed and
good speed control is necessary.
Following are the various
applications of universal motor:
Universal Motors are used in
table fans, hairdryers and
grinders.
They are used in portable drill
machines.
They are used in polishers,
blowers and kitchen appliances.
