12. INDUCTION MOTORS
Induction motors can be classified into two
main groups:
single-phase induction motors
three-phase induction motors
Single-phase induction motors:
These only have one stator winding, operate
with a single-phase power supply...
Three –phase induction motors:
They use three sets of stator coils the rotating
magnetic field drags the rotor around with it.
13. DC MOTORS
DC motors,as the name implies,use a direct
unidirectional current sources of electricity :-
◦ Batteries
◦ DC Power supply
When power is applied, DC motors turn in one
direction at a fixed speed.
They are optimized to run at a fixed, usually high
RPM.
Torque is highest at the rated speed and lowest at
low speeds.
Almost all can be reversed.
Inexpensive and commonly available.

While most motors operate from either AC or DC, some
can operate from either
These are universal motors and resemble series-wound
DC motors, but are designed for both AC and DC
operation

– offer high power-to-weight ratio
– ideal for portable equipment such as hand drills and
vacuum cleaners
19. UNIVERSAL MOTORS
Both DC and AC motors are used
– high-power motors are usually AC, three-phase
– domestic applications often use single-phase induction
motors
– DC motors are useful in control applications
– Either an AC or DC electrical energy source serves as
the input to the motor.
Another two useful motor’s name are :-
◦ DC servo motors
◦ Stepper motors
20. EFFICIENCY OF ELECTRIC MOTORS
•The efficiency of a motor can be defined as “the
ratio of a motor’s useful power output to its total
power output.”
•Motors convert electrical energy to mechanical
energy to serve a certain load. In this process,
energy is lost as shown in the figure.

HP = Nameplate rated horse power
Load = Output power as a % of rated power
Pi = Three phase power in kW

◦ The weight, size of the object to be moved,
◦ The cost and size of the motor,
◦ The accuracy of position or speed control needed.

Editor's Notes
Electric motors defined as electromechanical devices that convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. The mechanical energy can be used to perform work such as rotating a pump impeller, fan, blower, driving a compressor, lifting materials etc.
Ultimately, motors are the interface between the electrical and mechanical systems of a facility.
So, EM are an important part of any electrical system. They used throughout every manufacturing plant,office and home consuming about 70% of all electricity generated. That’s why electric motors are termed as “Work Horse” in an industry.
Electrical current flowing in a loop of wire produce a magnetic field acros the loop.
When this loop is surrounded by the field of another magnet,the loop will turn, producing a force (called torque) that results in mechanical motion.
Parts of the Motor- 1.Armature or rotor 2.Commutator 3.Brushes 4.Axle 5.power supply of some sort for example- battery
The contacts of the commutator are attached to the axle of the electromagnet, so they spin with the magnet.
There are numerous ways to design a motor, thus there are many different types of motors and each type possess different operating characteristics. Based on this characteristics the motor can be chosen for a specified application. We will try to explain the main types of motors and For this explanation, I am calling md mukhlesur Rahman and giving thanks to all. Allah hafez.
The stator is in the stationary electrical component. The rotor is the rotating electrical component, which in turn rotates the motor shaft.
There are two types of AC motors: synchronous (see figure) and induction. The main difference between the synchronous motor and the induction motor is that the rotor of the synchronous motor travels at the same speed as the rotating magnetic field.
Stator:The stator is in the stationary electrical component.
rotor: The stator is in the stationary electricalthat speed is more difficult to control for AC motors. component.
The rotor is the rotating electrical component, which in turn rotates the motor shaft.
Work:Synchronous motors are able to improve the power factor of a system, which is why they are often used in systems that use a lot of electricity.
Their popularity is due to
their simple design,
they are inexpensive (half or less of the cost of a DC motor)
High power to weight ratio (about twice that of a DC motor)
easy to maintain
can be directly connected to an AC power source
A DC motor is shown in the figure and has three main components:
Field pole. Simply put, the interaction of two magnetic fields causes the rotation in a DC motor. The DC motor has field poles that are stationary and an armature that turns on bearings in the space between the field poles. A simple DC motor has two field poles: a north pole and a south pole. The magnetic lines of force extend across the opening between the poles from north to south. For larger or more complex motors there are one or more electromagnets. These electromagnets receive electricity from an outside power source and serve as the field structure.
Armature. When current goes through the armature, it becomes an electromagnet. The armature, cylindrical in shape, is linked to a drive shaft in order to drive the load. For the case of a small DC motor, the armature rotates in the magnetic field established by the poles, until the north and south poles of the magnets change location with respect to the armature. Once this happens, the current is reversed to switch the south and north poles of the armature.
Commutator. This component is found mainly in DC motors. Its purpose is to overturn the direction of the electric current in the armature. The commutator also aids in the transmission of current between the armature and the power source.
The main advantage of DC motors is speed control, which does not affect the quality of power supply. It can be controlled by adjusting:
the armature voltage – increasing the armature voltage will increase the speed
the field current – reducing the field current will increase the speed.
DC motors are available in a wide range of sizes, but their use is generally restricted to a few low speed, low-to-medium power applications like machine tools and rolling mills because of problems with mechanical commutation at large sizes. Also, they are restricted for use only in clean, non-hazardous areas because of the risk of sparking at the brushes.
DC motors are also expensive relative to AC motors.
The relationship between speed, field flux and armature voltage is shown in the following equation:
Back electromagnetic force: E = KN
Torque: T = KIa
Where:
E = electromagnetic force developed at armature terminal (volt)
= field flux which is directly proportional to field current
N = speed in RPM (revolutions per minute)
T = electromagnetic torque
Ia = armature current
K = an equation constant
In a shunt motor, the field winding (shunt field) is connected in parallel with the armature winding . The total line current is therefore the sum of field current and armature current.
In a series motor, the field winding (shunt field) is connected in series with the armature winding . The field current is therefore equal to the armature current.
compound motor is a combination of shunt and series motor. In a compound motor, the field winding (shunt field) is connected in parallel and in series with the armature winding .
Factors that influence motor efficiency include:
Age. New motors are more efficient
Capacity. As with most equipment, motor efficiency increases with the rated capacity
Speed. Higher speed motors are usually more efficient
Type. For example, squirrel cage motors are normally more efficient than slip-ring motors
Temperature. Totally-enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) motors are more efficient than screen-protected drip-proof (SPDP) motors
Rewinding of motors can result in reduced efficiency
Load, as described below
Because the efficiency of a motor is difficult to assess under normal operating conditions, the motor load can be measured as an indicator of the motor’s efficiency. As loading increases, the power factor and the motor efficiency increase to an optimum value at around full load.
The following equation is used to determine the load:
Load = Pi x HP x 0.7457
Where,
= Motor operating efficiency in %
HP = Nameplate rated horse power
Load = Output power as a % of rated power
Pi = Three phase power in kW
