THEORY

A squirrel cage induction motor essentially consists of a stator and a rotor. The stator is a hollow cylindrical structure with slots on the inner periphery and carries a three phase winding. The

winding can be connected in star or delta and is connected across a 3-φ supply.

The rotor is also a cylindrical structure with slots on the outer periphery. The slots carry

thick Al or Cu bars. These bars are short circuited at both ends by means of end rings.

When a 3-φ supply is given to a 3-φ winding displaced by 120◦ in space, a magnetic field

of constant magnitude but rotating at synchronous speed is produced. This flux links with the

stationary rotor, thus inducing an emf in it. As the rotor circuit is closed, a current flows

through it. The direction of the induced current is such as to oppose the cause producing it.

The cause is the relative motion between the stator magnetic field and the rotor. So the rotor

starts rotating in the same direction as the stator magnetic field and tries to catch up with it.

But practically it is never able to do so. Because if it does so, there would be no relative

motion, no emf and hence no torque. 9

An induction motor can never operate at s=0. It always operates between s=0 and s=1(starting). The

performance characteristics are plots of efficiency, torque, speed, slip, pf and line cur-rent versus

output. Current and torque increases with increase in output. The induction motor is essentially a

constant speed motor. However speed reduces gradually with increase in output and slip increases gradually with increase in output. The pf is low at low loads and increases with increase in output.

The efficiency increases with increase in output, reaches a peak value and then gradually drops with further increase in output.

PROCEDURE

The load on the motor is completely removed by loosening the brake drum. The motor is to be always

started and stopped at no load, The supply is switched on and the motor is started using a Direct On

Line Starter (DOL Starter). The readings of the voltmeter, ammeter, wattmeters and spring balance are noted down. The speed

is measured using a tachometer. The load is then increased in steps, each time noting down all the

above readings. The experiment is repeated for different values of load currents till the rated current of

the machine is reached. During the experiment, the machine may get heated up. It is cooled by pouring some water into

the brake drum.

At low loads,(when pf < 0.5) one of the wattmeters read negative, in such cases, the supply is

switched off and the connections to the M and L terminals of the wattmeter are interchanged. The

meter now reads positive, but it is to be recorded as negative.

The load on the machine is removed completely and the supply is switched off. The readings are tabulated and the performance characteristics are plotted.

PRINCIPLE As the load on the alternator is varied the terminal voltage also varies. This is due to

1. Voltage drop due to armature resistance IR. 2. Voltage drop due to armature reactance IXL.

3. Voltage due to armature reaction effect. The voltage regulation of a synchronous generator is defined as the rise in voltage at the terminals

when the load is reduced from full load rated value to zero, speed and field current remaining constant %Reg =

E-V × 100

V

Where E - Generated emf

V - Terminal voltage

For small machines the regulation may be found by direct loading. For large machines the voltage regulation is predetermined by using indirect methods like emf method, mmf method. These methods require open circuit characteristics and short circuit characteristics.

The open circuit characteristics is a plot of no load terminal voltage versus field excitation with the machine running at rated speed. Under these conditions the induced voltage is directly proportional to the flux. The shape of curve is therefore a typical B-H curve or magnetization curve. The short circuit characteristics is a plot between armature current and field excitation with a symmetrical short circuit applied across the terminals. Under these conditions current in the armature winding

wholly depends on the internal impedance consisting of synchronous reactance Xsand the

wind-ing resistance Ra. Now Ra being small compared to Xs the pf under short circuit condition is zero power

factor lagging and therefore the armature reaction mmf is almost wholly demagnetizing. The short circuit characteristics is a straight line. From O.C.C & S.C.C the synchronous

impedance is evaluated as follows.

For any value of excitation or field current If , if VOC is the open circuit voltage & ISC is the short circuit current, then synchronous impedance Zs=VOC /ISC . The value of Zs is calculated for the unsaturated region. For the computation of regulation, it is convenient to take Zs at such a value of excitation which give rise to Vph[normal voltage per phase]on open circuit. The armature resistance is measured using ammeter-voltmeter method. Under

working conditions the effective value of Ra is increased due to skin effect and temperature

effect. The effective value of Ra is generally taken as 1.6 times the d.c value.

PROCEDURE O.C test Connections are made as shown in the connection diagram. Switches S3 and S2 are kept in the open position. The motor field rheostat Rh1 is kept in minimum position and the alternator field rheostat Rh2 in the maximum position. Supply is switched on by closing switch S1. The dc motor is started using the 3-point starter. The motor field rheostat Rh1 is varied till the speed becomes equal to the rated speed. Switch S2 is closed. Rh2 is varied in steps and the

field current and voltmeter reading are noted down. The experiment is repeated for different values of field current till the voltmeter reading shows 120% of the rated voltage of the alternator. Rheostat Rh2 is brought back to the maximum resistance position.

S.C test Switch S3 is closed and rheostat Rh2 is varied till the ammeter reading in the alternator (A2) reads the rated current of the machine. The corresponding value of field current is noted down.

Armature resistance is found by voltmeter-ammeter method. The regulation is then determined at various power factors for half and full loads and the

regulation curve is plotted.

RESULT The open circuit and short circuit test was conducted on the given 3-φ alternator by emf

methode and the regulation curves for half load & full load are plotted.

PRINCIPLE Field ampere turns required to produce a voltage V on full load is the vector sum of follows

1. Field ampere turns(If1) required to produce the V or IaRa Is taken in account then V+

IaRa COSф on no load this can be founds from OCC

2. Field ampere turns(If2)requird to over come the demagnetizing effect of armature

reaction on full load. This values found from SCC

The impedence cn be neglected because Ra is very small and Xs is also small under short

circuit conditions. Hence power factor on SC is almost zero lagging and the ampere turns is

used entirely to over come to the armature reaction. Which is wholly demagnetizing. The

resultant If1 and If2. Curresponding to the unity powerfactor. Lagging PF and Leading PF can

be obtained by Drawing phasor as shown in figure.

PRINCIPLE

Slip ring motors are always started with full line voltage applied across the stator terminals. The value of starting current is adjusted by introducing a variable resistance in the rotor circuit.The controlling resistance is in the form of resistances connected in star. The resistance is gradually cut out of the rotor circuit as the motor gathers speed.

By introducing the rotor resistance, the rotor current is reduced at starting and the starting torque is

increased the latter due to improvement in power factor.

No load test:-

If the motor is run at rated voltage and frequency without any mechanical load, it will draw power necessary to

supply the no load losses. The no load current will have two components. The active component and the

magnetizing component, the former being very small as the no load losses are small. The power factor at no

load is therefore very low. The no load power factor is always less than 0.5 and hence at no load one of the

wattmeter at input side reads negative. The no load input W0 to the stator consists of

1. Small stator copper loss 2. Core losses 3. The loss due to friction and windage.

The rotor copper loss can be neglected, since slip is small at no load.

Blocked rotor test :-

The stator is supplied with a low voltage of rated frequency just sufficient to circulate rated current through the

stator with the rotor blocked and short circuited. The power input, current and the voltage applied are noted

down.

The power input during the blocked rotor test is wholly consumed in the stator and rotor copper losses. The core loss is low because the applied voltage is only a small percentage of the normal voltage. Again since the rotor is at stand still the mechanical losses are absent. Hence the blocked rotor input can be taken as approximately equal to the copper losses.

PROCEDURE No load test:- Connections are made as shown in the diagram for no load test. Brake drum is made free to rotate by loosening the belt. The autotransformer is placed in zero position. Then the supply is switched on and the auto transformer is adjusted to supply the rated voltage to the machine. The handle of the starter is rotated to cut out the rotor resistance. Readings of the wattmeters, voltmeter and ammeter are noted and tabulated.

Blocked rotor test:- Connections are made as shown. The rotor is blocked by tightening the belt on the brake

drum. The auto transformer is set to the zero voltage position. Then the three phase supply is

switched on. By adjusting the autotransformer, the ammeter reading is made equal to rated

current of the machine. Readings of the two wattmeters, voltmeter and the ammeter are noted

and tabulated. Measurement of stator resistance:- Connections are done for the stator resistance measurements. It is measured using the voltmeter-ammeter method. The measured value is

23 Rph as the machine is connected. Thus

Rph = 1.5Rmeas. Rs(eff ) is taken as 1.6 times Rph to account for skin effect and heating effect.

RESULT No load and blocked rotor tests were conducted on the given three phase slip ring induction

motor and the equivalent circuit parameters were determined.
