Different types of motors
Series motor It develops very high starting torque and it has adjustable firing speed. It is suitable for any value of load which needs high starting torque. This motor is widely used in : Electric trains Cranes
Concept of back emf for dc motor
The concept of back emf for dc motor Consider a case of the single conductor being placed in the magnetic field and carrying current in the same direction due to motor action. This conductors experiences force and
Comparison of Induction motor and DC motors
Parameter DC motors Induction motors Supply DC AC Maintenance Frequent Less frequent Speed Low High Size and weight Large Small Speed control Rheostatic control, field control Stator voltage control, stator frequency control. Applications Lathe machine,drilling and milling
Construction of 3-phase induction motor
Construction : Conversion of electrical power into mechanical power takes place in the rotating part of an electric motor. In A.C. motors, rotor receives electric power by induction in exactly the same way as the secondary of
Parts of induction motor
A table showing the different parts of motor, the material used for the parts and function of the parts : Parts Material Function Stator frame Case iron Supports the core,protects inner-parts. Stator core Silicon steel Houses stator
Capacitor
The capacitor is an electrical component used to store charge. A capacitor consists of two conducting plates separated by a dielectric. Capacitor has a properly to block d.c current and pass a.c. current. A passive component which
Double Cage Induction Motor
In case of 3Ø squirrel cage motor has low starting torque. This is due to the low Rotor Resistance. Then, the starting torque with increase but at the same time their will be more copper loss and
Difference between Synchronous Motor and Induction Motor
Synchronous Motor Induction Motor Synchronous motor construction is complicated. Induction motor construction is simpler, particularly in case of cage rotor. This is Not self starting. This is self Starting Separate DC source is required for rotor excitation.
