    Study Notes

    Induction Motors

    • Induction motors are widely used in industrial applications, from small workshops to large industries.
    • They are employed in applications such as centrifugal pumps, conveyors, compressors, crushers, and drilling machines.

    Constructional Details

    • An induction motor consists of a stationary member called the stator and a rotating member called the rotor.
    • The stator and rotor are each made up of:
      • An electric circuit (insulated copper or aluminum winding) to carry current.
      • A magnetic circuit (laminated silicon steel) to carry magnetic flux.
    • The stator:
      • Consists of an outer cylindrical frame, a magnetic path (laminated steel laminations), and insulated electrical windings.
      • Windings are placed inside the slots of the laminated stator core.
      • Cross-sectional area of the windings must be large enough for the power rating of the motor.

    Output Equation

    • The output equation gives the relation between the various physical and electrical parameters of the electrical machine.
    • Output Q (in kW) = Input x Efficiency.
    • Input to motor = 3Vph Iph cos x 10^-3 kW (for a 3-phase machine).
    • Output equation can be derived and simplified to Q = Co D^2L/ns kW.

    Design of Stator

    • Stator core and stator slots are the two main components of the stator.
    • Stator slots:
      • Two types: open slots and semiclosed slots.
      • Semiclosed slots are commonly used in 3-phase induction motors.
    • Selection of number of stator slots:
      • Affects the weight, cost, and operating characteristics of the motor.
      • Higher number of slots reduces leakage reactance, tooth pulsation losses, and increases overload capacity, but increases cost, weight, and magnetizing current.

    Turns per Phase

    • EMF equation of an induction motor: Eph = 4.44fFTphkw.
    • Turns per phase (Tph) can be obtained from the EMF equation.
    • Tph = Eph / 4.44fFkw.

    Conductor Cross-Section

    • Sectional area of the stator conductor can be estimated from the stator current per phase and a suitably assumed value of current density for the stator windings.
    • A suitable value of current density has to be assumed considering the advantages and disadvantages.

    Length of the Mean Turn

    • Calculated using an empirical formula: lmt = 2L + 2.3tp + 0.24.

    Resistance of Stator Winding

    • Calculated using the formula: rs = (0.021 x lmt x Tph) / as.
    • Total copper losses in stator winding can be calculated using the calculated resistance.

    Flux Density in Stator Tooth

    • Calculated considering the dimensions of the stator slot pitch, width of the slot, and width of the stator tooth.
    • Limited to 1.8 Tesla.

    Depth of Stator Core

    • Calculated assuming a suitable value for the flux density in the stator core.
    • Generally, the flux density in the stator core varies between 1.2 to 1.4 Tesla.
