AC Motors‐Synchronous and Asynchronous

Electromechanical systems
For energy conversion between electrical and mechanical forms,
electromechanical devices are developed, which can be divided into three
categories:
1
...
Examples are microphones, pickups, and speakers
...

forces mostly for linear motion drives, such as relays, solenoids (linear actuators),
and electromagnets
...
Continuous energy conversion equipment: These devices operate in rotating
mode

Current – In a brush motor when electricity is applied across the motor 
termination causes a current flows through a brush and commutator system into 
an electromagnetic armature that moves inside a fixed permanent magnet or

AC Motors‐Synchronous and Asynchronous

Alternating Current Motors

The ACM’s are simplier in structure and more economic than DCM’s
...

Maintenance of ACM’s is easier
...
They can be connected to the AC source
directly
...
But, ACM’s
are used more than DCM’s in industry

AC Motors‐Synchronous and Asynchronous

Motor Components
This AC motor has three main parts, rotor, stator, and enclosure
...


Dr
...
 The stator core is 
made up of many thin metal sheets, called laminations
...
Stator laminations are stacked 
together forming a hollow cylinder
...
When the assembled motor 
is in operation, the stator windings are connected directly to the power source

Motor Components
Enclosure 
The enclosure consists of a frame (or yoke) and two end brackets (or bearing housings)
...
 
The rotor fits inside the stator with a slight air gap separating it from the stator
...


The enclosure protects the internal parts of the motor from water and other environmental 
elements

An induction motor therefore does not require mechanical commutation, separate‐
excitation or self‐excitation for all or part of the energy transferred from stator to rotor
An induction motor's rotor can be either wound type or squirrel‐cage type
...


A squirrel cage rotor core is made by stacking thin steel laminations to form a cylinder
...
Most squirrel cage rotors are made by die casting 
aluminum to form the conductor bars
...

AC Motors‐Synchronous and Asynchronous

AC Induction (asynchronous) Motor
A major difference between the wound rotor motor and the squirrel cage rotor is that the 
conductors of the wound rotor consist of wound coils instead of bars
...
 The 
rotating magnetic field induces a voltage in the rotor windings
...
 Decreasing the resistance causes more current to flow, 
increasing rotor speed

electromagnet connected to an AC source changes at the frequency of the AC source

positive value, and the strength of the 
electromagnetic field has also peaked

AC Motors‐Synchronous and Asynchronous

Rotor Rotation
An induction motor induces a current in its rotor so that a magnetic force can exist on 
rotor conductors
When current is flowing in a stator winding, the electromagnetic field created cuts across
the nearest rotor bars
...

“V” is the relative velocity of the conductor with respect to stator magnetic field
...

So it is evident that the rotor and stator magnetic field have different angular speeds
The induced voltage causes current flow in the conductor
...
 In a wound rotor current flows through the external circuit, which is 
connected to slip rings
Dr
...
 
When power is first applied to the motor with the rotor stopped, this difference in speed is 
at its maximum and a large amount of current is induced in the rotor
...

This speed difference is called slip
...
 Slip is also  ddependent on load

Synchronous Motor
Remember that the rotating magnetic field rotates at a certain speed, that speed is called
synchronous speed

Synchronous motors is called so because the speed of the rotor of this motor is same as the

Starting methods for single‐phase induction motors:
Single‐phase split‐phase motor
It shows the auxiliary winding also known as starting winding, in space quadrature with the 
main winding
...
 The starting winding is made of thin wire 
so that its impedance is different from that of the main winding
...
 The phase difference between the two winding 
currents (about 30o) will be sufficient to produce a rotating magnetic field resulting in a 
starting torque
...
 This increase in phase angle will increase the starting torque
