Motor selection 123 motor design 123 converter selection 124 10. A special woundrotor ac motor, however, has controllable speed and torque. The ac motor commonly consists of two basic parts, an outside stator having coils supplied with alternating current to produce a rotating magnetic field, and an inside rotor attached to the output shaft producing a second rotating magnetic field.
When the motor is coupled to equipment, ensure that system vibrations are within acceptable limit per iso 108161 to avoid failure of the motor. The higher the percentage, the more efficiently the motor. An introduction to electric motors stmicroelectronics. Ac motors ac motors are used worldwide in many applications to transform electrical energy into mechanical energy. Grounding should be in accordance with national and local standards and consistent with sound practice. This document explains v parameter settings for the pm motor drive. Motor sizing principles dublin institute of technology. Dc or direct current motors work in particular situations whereby the speed of the motor needs to be externally controlled. Servo motor ac servosmelservo drive products cad data. Where the decompressed 3dcad file name differs from the selected product model name the external shape is identical, change the product model name lowercase alphanumeric characters to be used. Its most common application is in such power tools as an electric drill. Dc motors although ac motors are used in most of the cases, dc motors have many applications and used for multipurpose applications. The figure above shows the family tree of the ac motors described in this chapter.
The ac induction motor is well suited to applications requiring constant speed operation. Mechanical energy what is an electric motor an electric motor is a device converting electrical energy into mechanical energy usually a torque. Dc motor principle a machine that converts dc power into mechanical energy is known as dc motor. The applications of woundrotor ac motors are markedly different from squirrelcage ac motors because of the rotor circuits accessibility. Explain how this motor can be operated as either a synchronous motor or a plain induction motor. On the other hand ac or alternating current electric motors are used in a completely different process drawing upon the kind of ac motor being used. Small motor rule, open drip proof, single and three phase.
For complete product family overview and details, see the indepth section. If a seried dc motor has a laminated stator frame, it can run effectively htt l d iki di iki di 667 from an ac supply as well as dc, this is the. Bonnett, fellow, ieee abstract the squirrelcage inductionmotorremains theworkhorse of the petrochemical industry because of its versatility and ruggedness. Schematic representation of a sinusoidal voltage of magnitude e applied on a circuit with a resistive load r. Alternating current motors or ac motors are built on the principle that nikola tesla discovered in the late 19th century.
Avoid long exposure in close proximity to machinery with high noise levels. The motor uses a squirrel cage rotor, which has a laminated iron core with slots. Describe how a squirrel cage motor is built, and classify it as either an induction motor or a synchronous motor. The rotor and stator are each connected from a different power supply, this gives another degree of freedom for controlling the motor over the shunt. Lathes, drills, boring mills, shapers, spinning, and weaving machines series motor. The principle of an ac motor is that electric current is applied to electromagnets, creating a rotating magnetic field to convert electrical energy to rotation mechanical energy. What is common to all the members of this family is that the basic physical process involved in their operation is the conversion of electromagnetic energy. Figure 81 shows the motor output torque as a function of shaft speed with full rated voltage applied to the motor. Introduction to ac motors ac motors electronics textbook.

For ac motors we use continuous rings as shown in image below, they doesnt block the current and the current can move in both directions easily. Determine motor specs understanding and accurately identifying the environment of your motors application is crucial to selecting the right product. The characteristics of a shunt motor reveal that it is an approximately constant speed motor. Consequently, the rated output of 100 horsepower should be derated to approximately 82 hp to reduce the possibility of damage to the motor. Ac motor works on the same principle as i have described for the dc motor, the only difference lies in the split rings.

Stator with laminated iron core slots with winding bars ring to short. Before we discuss these modifications, here it is essential to discuss what is the need and where do we need to do modifications. These instructions do not purport to cover all the details in motors nor to provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with. Motor speed relationship the synchronous speed of an ac motor is the speed of the rotating magnetic field set up by the stator winding synchronous speed rpm 120 x frequency divided by the number of poles. In general, the induction motor is cheaper and easier to maintain compared to other alternatives. This conversion is usually obtained through the generation of a magnetic field by means of a current flowing into one or more coils.
