energy (Generators/alternators) Electrical energy into mechanical
energy (Motors) AC current from one voltage level to
other voltage level without changing its frequency (Transformers)

Fundamental Principle..
Electrical Machines (irrespective of AC or DC) work on the fundamental principle of Faraday’s law of Electromagnetic Induction.
Faraday’s Law
Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction states that an EMF is induced in a coil when the magnetic flux linking this coil changes with time
or The EMF generated is proportional to
the rate at which flux is changed.d de Ndt dtψ ϕ

Faraday’s Law – Illustration
Two forms of Induced EMF !
The effect is same if the magnet is moved and the coil is made stationery
We call it as statically induced EMF The previous case is referred to as
Dynamically induced EMF
Governing Rules
It becomes evident that there exists a relationship between mechanical energy, electrical energy and magnetic field.
These three can be combined and precisely put as governing rules each for generator and for motor
Fleming’s Right hand rule
For Generator
Fleming's Right hand rule(for Generator)
Fleming’s Left hand rule
For Motor
Fleming's left hand rule (for motors)
First finger - direction of magnetic field (N-S) Second finger - direction of current
(positive to negative) Thumb - movements of the wire
Maxwell’s Corkscrew rule
If the electric current is moving away from the observer, the direction of lines of force of the magnetic field surrounding the conductor is clockwise and that if the electric current is moving towards an observer, the direction of lines of force is anti-clockwise
Corkscrew (Screw driver) rule -Illustration
Coiling of Conductor
To augment the effect of flux, we coil the conductor as the flux lines aid each other when they are in the same direction and cancel each other when they are in the opposite direction
Many a times, conductor is coiled around a magnetic material as surrounding air weakens the flux
We refer the magnetic materialas armature core
Electromagnet
The magnetic property of current carrying conductor can be exploited to make the conductor act as a magnet – Electromagnet
This is useful because it is very difficult to find permanent magnets with such high field
Also permanent magnets are prone to ageing problems

Synchronous Machines
• Synchronous generators or alternators are used to convert mechanical power derived from steam, gas, or hydraulic-turbine to ac electric power
• Synchronous generators are the primary source of electrical energy we consume today
• Large ac power networks rely almost exclusively on synchronous generators
• Synchronous motors are built in large units compare to induction motors (Induction motors are cheaper for smaller ratings) and used for constant speed industrial drives
Construction
Basic parts of a synchronous generator:
• Rotor - dc excited winding • Stator - 3-phase winding in which the ac emf is generated
The manner in which the active parts of a synchronous machine are cooled determines its overall physical size and structure
Armature Windings (On Stator)• Armature windings connected are 3-phase and are
either star or delta connected• It is the stationary part of the machine and is built up of
sheet-steel laminations having slots on its inner periphery.
• The windings are 120 degrees apart and normally use distributed windings
Field Windings (on Rotor)• The field winding of a synchronous machine is always
energized with direct current
• Under steady state condition, the field or exciting current is given
Ir = Vf/Rf
Vf = Direct voltage applied to the field windingRf= Field winding Resistance
Rotor• Rotor is the rotating part of the machine
• Can be classified as: (a) Cylindrical Rotor and (b) Salient Pole rotor
• Large salient-pole rotors are made of laminated poles retaining the winding under the pole head.
Various Types of ROTOR
Salient-pole Rotor
Cylindrical or round rotor
1. Most hydraulic turbines have to turn at low speeds (between 50 and 300 r/min)
2. A large number of poles are required on the rotor

Working of Alternator & frequency of Induced EMF
Working Principle• It works on the principle of Electromagnetic induction• In the synchronous generator field system is rotating and armature
winding is steady.• Its works on principle opposite to the DC generator• High voltage AC output coming from the armature terminal
Working Principle
• Armature Stator• Field Rotor• No commutator is
required No need for commutator because we need AC only
Every time a complete pair of poles crosses the conductor, the induced voltage goes through one complete cycle. Therefore, the generator frequency is given by
12060.

Advantages of stationary armature
• At high voltages, it easier to insulate stationary armature winding(30 kV or more)
• The high voltage output can be directly taken out from the stationary armature.
• Rotor is Field winding. So low dc voltage can be transferred safely
• Due to simple construction High speed of Rotating DC field is possible.

Pitch factor (Kp) Consider 4 pole, 3 phase machine having 24
conductors Pole pitch = 24 / 4 = 6 slots If Coil Pitch or Coil Span = pole pitch, then it
is referred to as full-pitched winding If Coil Pitch < pole pitch, it is referred to as
short-pitched winding
Coil Span = 5 / 6 of pole pitch If falls short by 1 / 6 of pole pitch
or 180 / 6 = 30 degrees
This is done primarily to Save copper of end connections Improve the wave-form of the generated emf
(sine wave) Eliminate the high frequency harmonics
There is a disadvantage attached to it Total voltage around the coil gets reduced
because, the emf induced in the two sides of the coil is slightly out of phase
Due to that, their resultant vectorial sum is less than the arithmetic sum
This is denoted by a factor Pitch factor, Kp or Kc

Distribution factor (Kd) As we know, each phase consists of
conductors distributed in number of slots to form polar groups under each pole
The result is that the emf induced in the conductors constituting the polar group are not in phase rather differ by an angle equal to angular displacement of the slots
For a 3 phase machine with 36 conductors, 4 pole, no. of slots (conductors) / pole / phase is equal to 3
Each phase consists of 3 slots Angular displacement between any two adjacent
slots = 180 / 9 = 20 degrees If the 3 coils are bunched in 1 slot, emf induced is
equal to the arithmetic sum (3Es) Practically, in distributed winding, vector sum has to
be calculated Kd = Vector sum / Arithmetic sum

We know, N = 120 f / PSubstituting, N we get Avg. emf per conductor = 2 f φ Volt If there are Z conductors / ph, then
Avg. emf induced / ph = 2 f φ Z Volt Ave emf induced (in turns) / ph = 4 f φ T Volt
Equation of Induced EMF – contd.
We know, RMS value / Avg. Value = 1.11 Therefore, RMS value of emf induced / ph = 1.11 (4 f φ T) V
= 4.44 f φ T Volt This is the actual value, but we have two other
factors coming in the picture, Kc and Kd These two reduces the emf induced
RMS value of emf induced = (Kd) (Kc) 4.44 f φ T Volt

Armature Reaction in alternator
I.) When load p.f. is unity distorted but not weakened.- the average flux in the
air-gap practically remains unaltered.II.) When load p.f. is zero lagging the flux in the air-gap is weakened- the field
excitation will have to be increased to compensateIII.) When load p.f. is zero leading
the effect of armature reaction is wholly magnetizing- the field excitation will have to be reduced
1. Unity Power Factor Load
Consider a purely resistive load connected to the alternator, having unity power factor. As induced e.m.f. Eph drives a current of Iaph and load power factor is unity, Eph and Iph are in phase with each other.
If Φf is the main flux produced by the field winding responsible for producing Eph then Eph lags Φf by 90o .
Now current through armature Ia, produces the armature flux say Φa. So flux Φa and Ia are always in the same direction.
• Phase difference of 90o between the armature flux and the main flux• the two fluxes oppose each other on the left half of each pole while assist
each other on the right half of each pole.• Average flux in the air gap remains constant but its distribution gets distorted.
• Due to such distortion of the flux, there is small drop in the terminal voltage
2. Zero Lagging Power Factor Load
Consider a purely inductive load connected to the alternator, having zero lagging power factor.
Iaph driven by Eph lags Eph by 90o which is the power factor angle Φ.
Induced e.m.f. Eph lags main flux Φf by 90o while Φa is in the same direction as that of Ia.
the armature flux and the main flux are exactly in opposite direction to each other.
• As this effect causes reduction in the main flux, the terminal voltage drops. This drop in the terminal voltage is more than the drop corresponding to the unity p.f. load.
3. Zero Leading Power Factor Load
Consider a purely capacitive load connected to the alternator having zero leading power factor.
This means that armature current Iaph driven by Eph, leads Eph by 90o, which is the power factor angle Φ.
Induced e.m.f. Eph lags Φf by 90o while Iaph and Φa are always in the same direction.
the armature flux and the main field flux are in the same direction
• As this effect adds the flux to the main flux, greater e.m.f. gets induced in the armature. Hence there is increase in the terminal voltage for leading power factor loads.

(1) If a machine is working as a synchronous generator then direction of Ia will be in phase to that of the Ef.
(2) Phasor Ef is always ahead of Vt.
Lagging PF Unity PF Leading PF
a. Alternator at Lagging PF Ef by first taking the component of the Vt in the
direction of Ia Component of Vt in the direction of Ia is Vtcosθ , Total voltage drop is (Vtcosθ+Iara) along the Ia. we can calculate the voltage drop along the direction
perpendicular to Ia. The total voltage drop perpendicular to Ia is
(Vtsinθ+IaXs). With the help of triangle BOD in the first phasor
diagram we can write the expression for Ef as
b. Alternator at Unity PF Ef by first taking the component of the Vt in
the direction of Ia. θ = 0 hence we have ᴪ=δ. With the help of triangle BOD in the second
phasor diagram we can directly write the expression for Ef as
c. Alternator at Leading PF Component in the direction of Ia is Vtcosθ. As the direction of Ia is same to that of the Vt thus
the total voltage drop is (Vtcosθ+Iara). Similarly we can write expression for the voltage
drop along the direction perpendicular to Ia. The total voltage drop comes out to be (Vtsinθ-IaXs). With the help of triangle BOD in the first phasor
diagram we can write the expression for Ef as
Determination of the parameters of the equivalent circuit from test data
The equivalent circuit of a synchronous generator that has been derived contains three quantities that must be determined in order to completely describe the behaviour of a real synchronous generator:
The saturation characteristic: relationship between If and φ (and therefore between If and Ef)The synchronous reactance, XsThe armature resistance, Ra
VOLTAGE REGULATION
Voltage regulation of an alternator is defined as the rise in terminal voltage of the machine expressed as a fraction of percentage of the initial voltage when specified load at a particular power factor is reduced to zero, the speed and excitation remaining unchanged.
Voltage Regulation
A convenient way to compare the voltagebehaviour of two generators is by theirvoltage regulation (VR). The VR of asynchronous generator at a given load,power factor, and at rated speed is definedas

Voltage Regulation
Case 1: Lagging power factor:A generator operating at a lagging power factor has a positive voltage regulation.
Case 2: Unity power factor:A generator operating at a unity power factor has a small positive voltage regulation.
Case 3: Leading power factor:A generator operating at a leading power factor has a negative voltage regulation.
Voltage Regulation
This value may be readily determined from the phasor diagram for full load operation. If the regulation is excessive, automatic control of field current may be employed to maintain a nearly constant terminal voltage as load varies

Methods of Determination of voltage regulation
Synchronous Impedance Method / E.M.F.MethodAmpere-turns method / M.M.F. methodZPF(Zero Power Factor) Method / PotierASA Method
1. Synchronous Impedance Method / E.M.F. Method
The method is also called E.M.F. method of determining the regulation. The method requires following data to calculate the regulation.
1. The armature resistance per phase (Ra).2. Open circuit characteristics which is the graph of open
circuit voltage against the field current. This is possible by conducting open circuit test on the alternator.
3. Short circuit characteristics which is the graph of short circuit current against field current. This is possible by conducting short circuit test on the alternator.
The alternator is coupled to a prime mover capableof driving the alternator at its synchronous speed.The armature is connected to the terminals of aswitch. The other terminals of the switch are shortcircuited through an ammeter. The voltmeter isconnected across the lines to measure the opencircuit voltage of the alternator.
The field winding is connected to a suitable d.c.supply with rheostat connected in series. The fieldexcitation i.e. field current can be varied with thehelp of this rheostat. The circuit diagram is shownin the Fig.
Circuit Diagram for OC & SC test
a. Open Circuit Test
Procedure to conduct this test is as follows :i) Start the prime mover and adjust the speed to the synchronous
speed of the alternator.ii) Keeping rheostat in the field circuit maximum, switch on the d.c.
supply.iii) The T.P.S.T switch in the armature circuit is kept open.iv) With the help of rheostat, field current is varied from its
minimum value to the rated value. Due to this, flux increasing the induced e.m.f. Hence voltmeter reading, which is measuring line value of open circuit voltage increases. For various values of field current, voltmeter readings are observed.
Open-circuit test Characteristics
The generator is turned at the rated speedThe terminals are disconnected from all loads, and
the field current is set to zero.Then the field current is gradually increased in
steps, and the terminal voltage is measured at each step along the way.
It is thus possible to obtain an open-circuit characteristic of a generator (Ef or Vt versus If) from this information
Connection for Open Circuit Test
Open-Circuit Characteristic
Short-circuit test
Adjust the field current to zero and short-circuit the terminals of the generator through a set of ammeters. Record the armature current Isc as the field
current is increased. Such a plot is called short-circuit
characteristic.
Short-circuit test
After completing the open circuit test observation, the fieldrheostat is brought to maximum position, reducing fieldcurrent to a minimum value.
The T.P.S.T switch is closed. As ammeter has negligibleresistance, the armature gets short circuited. Then the fieldexcitation is gradually increased till full load current isobtained through armature winding.
This can be observed on the ammeter connected in thearmature circuit. The graph of short circuit armaturecurrent against field current is plotted from the observationtable of short circuit test. This graph is called short circuitcharacteristics, S.C.C.
Short-circuit test
Adjust the field current to zero and short-circuit the terminals of the generator through a set of ammeters.
Record the armature current Isc as the field current is increased.
Such a plot is called short-circuit characteristic.

Curve feature
The OCC will be nonlinear due to the saturation of the magnetic core at higher levels of field current. The SCC will be linear since the magnetic core does not saturate under short-circuit conditions.
Determination of Xs
For a particular field current IfA, the internal voltage Ef (=VA) could be found from the occ and the short-circuit current flow Isc,A could be found from the scc.

Advantages and Limitations of Synchronous Impedance Method
The value of synchronous impedance Zs for any load condition can be calculated. Hence regulation of the alternator at any load condition and load power factor can be determined. Actual load need not be connected to the alternator and hence method can be used for very high capacity alternators.
The main limitation of this method is that the method gives large values of synchronous reactance. This leads to high values of percentage regulation than the actual results. Hence this method is called pessimistic method

Synchronization & Parallel
operation of Alternator
Parallel operation of synchronous generators
There are several major advantages to operate generators in parallel:
• Several generators can supply a bigger load than one machine by itself.
• Having many generators increases the reliability of the power system.
• It allows one or more generators to be removed for shutdown or preventive maintenance.
Before connecting a generator in parallel with anothergenerator, it must be synchronized. A generator is said to besynchronized when it meets all the following conditions:
• The rms line voltages of the two generators must be equal.
• The two generators must have the same phase sequence.• The phase angles of the two a phases must be equal.• The oncoming generator frequency is equal to the
running system frequency.

Parallel operation of synchronous generators
Most of synchronous generators are operating in parallel with other synchronous generators to supply power to the same power system. Obvious advantages of this arrangement are:
1. Several generators can supply a bigger load;2. A failure of a single generator does not result in a total power loss to the load
increasing reliability of the power system;3. Individual generators may be removed from the power system for maintenance
without shutting down the load;4. A single generator not operating at near full load might be quite inefficient.
While having several generators in parallel, it is possible to turn off some of them when operating the rest at near full-load condition.
Conditions required for paralleling
A diagram shows that Generator 2 (oncoming generator) will be connected in parallel when the switch S1 is closed.However, closing the switch at an arbitrary moment can severely damage both generators!
If voltages are not exactly the same in both lines (i.e. in a and a’, b and b’ etc.), a very large current will flow when the switch is closed. Therefore, to avoid this, voltages coming from both generators must be exactly the same. Therefore, the following conditions must be met:
1. The rms line voltages of the two generators must be equal.2. The two generators must have the same phase sequence.3. The phase angles of two a phases must be equal.4. The frequency of the oncoming generator must be slightly higher than the
frequency of the running system.
Conditions required for paralleling
If the phase sequences are different, then even if one pair of voltages (phases a) are in phase, the other two pairs will be 1200 out of phase creating huge currents in these phases.
If the frequencies of the generators are different, a large power transient may occur until the generators stabilize at a common frequency. The frequencies of two machines must be very close to each other but not exactly equal. If frequencies differ by a small amount, the phase angles of the oncoming generator will change slowly with respect to the phase angles of the running system.If the angles between the voltages can be observed, it is possible to close the switch S1 when the machines are in phase.
General procedure for paralleling generators
When connecting the generator G2 to the running system, the following steps should be taken:
1. Adjust the field current of the oncoming generator to make its terminal voltage equal to the line voltage of the system (use a voltmeter).
2. Compare the phase sequences of the oncoming generator and the running system. This can be done by different ways:1) Connect a small induction motor to the terminals of the oncoming generator
and then to the terminals of the running system. If the motor rotates in the same direction, the phase sequence is the same;
2) Connect three light bulbs across the open terminals of the switch. As the phase changes between the two generators, light bulbs get brighter (large phase difference) or dimmer (small phase difference). If all three bulbs get bright and dark together, both generators have the same phase sequences.
General procedure for paralleling generators
If phase sequences are different, two of the conductors on the oncoming generator must be reversed.
3. The frequency of the oncoming generator is adjusted to be slightly higher than the system’s frequency.
4. Turn on the switch connecting G2 to the system when phase angles are equal.
The simplest way to determine the moment when two generators are in phase is by observing the same three light bulbs. When all three lights go out, the voltage across them is zero and, therefore, machines are in phase.
A more accurate way is to use a synchroscope – a meter measuring the difference in phase angles between two aphases. However, a synchroscope does not check the phase sequence since it only measures the phase difference in one phase.
The whole process is usually automated…

Concept of the infinite bus
When a synchronous generator is connected to a powersystem, the power system is often so large that nothing, theoperator of the generator does, will have much of an effecton the power system. An example of this situation is theconnection of a single generator to the power grid. Ourpower grid is so large that no reasonable action on the partof one generator can cause an observable change inoverall grid frequency. This idea is idealized in the conceptof an infinite bus. An infinite bus is a power system so largethat its voltage and frequency do not vary regardless ofhow much real or reactive power is drawn from or suppliedto it.

• Referring to Fig. 8, it is convenient to adopt a convention that makes positive real power P and positive reactive power Q delivered by an overexcited generator.
• The generator action corresponds to positive value of δ, while the motor action corresponds to negative value of δ.

• The above two equations for active and reactive powers hold good for cylindrical-rotor synchronous machines for negligible resistance
• To obtain the total power for a three-phase generator, the above equations should be multiplied by 3 when the voltages are line-to-neutral

The maximum power indicated by this equation is called steady-statestability limit of the generator. If we try to exceed this limit (such as byadmitting more steam to the turbine), the rotor will accelerate and losesynchronism with the infinite bus. In practice, this condition is neverreached because the circuit breakers trip as soon as synchronism islost. We have to resynchronize the generator before it can again pickup the load. Normally, real generators never even come close to thelimit. Full-load torque angle of 15o to 20o are more typical of realmachines.

BLONDELS TWO REACTION THEORY
Presented by C.GOKUL,AP/EEE Velalar College of Engg & Tech , Erode
BLONDELS TWO REACTION THEORY
In case of cylindrical pole machines, the direct-axis and the quadrature axis mmfs act on the same magnetic circuits, hence they can be summed up as complexors. However, in a salient-pole machine, the two mmfs do not act on the same magnetic circuit.
The direct axis component Fad operates over a magnetic circuit identical with that of the field system, while the q-axis component Faq is applied across the interpole space, producing a flux distribution different from that of Fad or the Field mmf.
The Blondel's two reaction theory henceconsiders the results of the cross and direct-reaction components separately and if saturationis neglected, accounts for their different effectsby assigning to each an appropriate value forarmature-reaction "reactive" respectively Xaq andXad .
Considering the leakage reactance, the combined reactance values becomes
Xad = X + X ad and X sq = X aq
Xsq < Xsd as a given current component of the q-axis gives rise to a smaller flux due to the higher reluctance of the magnetic path.
• Let lq and Id be the q and d-axis components of the current I in the armature reference to the phasor diagram in Figure. We get the following relationships
• Iq= I cos (σ+θ) Ia = I cosφ
• Id = I sin (σ+ φ) Ir = I sinφ
I = √(Id2 + Iq2)= = √(Id2 + Ir2)
• where Ia and Ir are the active and reactive components of current I.

Short Circuit Transients for Synchronous
Generator
Short Circuit PhenomenonConsider a two pole elementary single phase alternator with concentrated stator winding as shown in Fig. 4. Consider a two pole elementary single phase alternator with concentrated stator winding as shown in Fig. 4.
The corresponding waveforms for stator and rotor currents are shown in the Fig
Let short circuit occurs at position of rotor shown in Fig. 4(a)when there are no stator linkages. After 1/4 Rev as shown Fig. 4(b), ittends to establish full normal linkage in stator winding. The statoropposes this by a current in the shown direction as to force the flux inthe leakage path. The rotor current must increase to maintain its fluxconstant. It reduces to normal at position (c) where stator current isagain reduces to zero. The waveform of stator current and field currentshown in the Fig. 5. changes totally if the position of rotor at the instantof short circuit is different. Thus the short circuit current is a function ofrelative position of stator and rotor.
Using the theorem of constant linkages a three phase shortcircuit can also be studied. After the instant of short circuit the fluxlinking with the stator will not change. A stationary image of main poleflux is produced in the stator. Thus a d.c. component of current iscarried by each phase.
The magnitude of d.c. component of current is different for eachphase as the instant on the voltage wave at which short circuit occurs isdifferent for each phase. The rotor tries to maintain its own poles
The rotor current is normal each time when rotor polesoccupy the position same as that during short circuit and thecurrent in the stator will be zero if the machine is previouslyunloaded. After one half cycle from this position the stator androtor poles are again coincident but the poles are opposite. Tomaintain the flux linkages constant, the current in rotor reaches toits peak value.
The stationary field produced by poles on the statorinduces a normal frequency emf in the rotor. Thus the rotorcurrent is fluctuating whose resultant a.c. component developsfundamental frequency flux which rotates and again produces inthe stator winding double frequency or second harmoniccurrents. Thus the waveform of transient current consists offundamental, a.c. and second harmonic components of currents.
Thus whenever short circuit occurs in three phase generatorthen the stator currents are distorted from pure sine wave andare similar to those obtained when an alternating voltage issuddenly applied to series R-L circuit.
Stator Currents during Short Circuit• If a generator having negligible resistance, excited and
running on no load is suddenly undergoing short circuit at itsterminals, then the emf induced in the stator winding is usedto circulate short circuit current through it. Initially thereactance to be taken into consideration is not thesynchronous reactance of the machine. The effect of armatureflux (reaction) is to reduce the main field flux.
• But the flux linking with stator and rotor can not changeinstantaneously because of the induction associated with thewindings. Thus at the short circuit instant, the armaturereaction is ineffective. It will not reduce the main flux. Thusthe synchronous reactance will not come into picture at themoment of short circuit. The only limiting factor for shortcircuit current at this instant is the leakage reactance.
After some time from the instant of short circuit, thearmature reaction slowly shows its effect and the alternator thenreaches to steady state. Thus the short circuit current reaches tohigh value for some time and then settles to steady value.
It can be seen that during the initial instant of short circuitis dependent on induced emf and leakage reactance which issimilar to the case which we have considered previously ofvoltage source suddenly applied to series R-L circuit. Theinstant in the cycle at which short occurs also affects the shortcircuit current. Near zero e.m.f. (or voltage) it has doublingeffect. The expressions that we have derived are applicable onlyduring initial conditions of short circuit as the induced emf alsoreduces after some tome because of increased armaturereaction.
The short circuit currents in the three phases during shortcircuit are as shown in the Fig(next slide)
Capability Curves of Synchronous Generators
• The rating of synchronous generators is specified in terms ofmaximum apparent power in KVA and MVA load at a specifiedpower factor (normally 80, 85 or 90 percent lagging) and voltage forwhich they are designed to operate under steady state conditions.This load is carried by the alternators continuously withoutoverheating. With the help of automatic voltage regulators theterminal voltage of the alternator is kept constant (normally within±5% of rated voltage).
• The power factor is also important factor that must be specified.This is because the alternator that is designed to operate at 0.95 p.f.lagging at rated load will require more field current when operate at0.85 p.f. lagging at rated load. More field current results inoverheating of the field system which is undesirable. For thiscompounding curves of the alternators can be drawn.
• If synchronous generator is supplying power at constantfrequency to a load whose power factor is constant then curveshowing variation of field current versus armature current whenconstant power factor load is varied is called compounding curve foralternator.
• To maintain the terminal voltage constant the lagging power factors require more field excitation that that required for leading power factors. Hence there is limitation on output given by exciter and current flowing in field coils because of lagging power factors.
• The ability of prime mover decides the active power output of the alternator which is limited to a value within the apparent power rating. The capability curve for synchronous generator specifies the bounds within which it can operate safely.
• The loading on generator should not exceed the generator rating as it may lead to heating of stator. The turbine rating is the limiting factor for MW loading. The operation of generator should be away from steady state stability limit (δ = 90o). The field current should not exceed its limiting value as it may cause rotor heating.
• All these considerations provides performance curves which are important in practical applications. A set of capability curves for an alternator is shown in Fig. 2. The effect of increased Hydrogen pressure is shown which increases the cooling.
• When the active power and voltage are fixed the allowable reactive power loading is limited by either armature or field winding heating. From the capability curve shown in Fig. 2, the maximum reactive power loadings can be obtained for different power loadings with the operation at rated voltage. From unity p.f. to rated p.f. (0.8 as shown in Fig. 2), the limiting factor is armature heating while for lower power factors field heating is limiting factor.
This fact can be derived as follows :• If the alternator is operating is constant terminal voltage and
armature current which the limiting value corresponding to heating then the operation of alternator is at constant value of apparent power as the apparent power is product of terminal voltage and current, both of which are constant.
• If P is per unit active power and Q is per unit reactive power then per unit apparent power is given by,
• Similarly, considering the alternator to be operating at constant terminal voltage and field current (hence E) is limited to a maximum value obtained by heating limits.
• Thus induced voltage E is given by,
If Ra is assumed to be zero then
The apparent power can be written as,
Substituting value of Īa obtained from (1) in equation (2),
Taking magnitudes,
• This equation also represents a circle with centre at (0, -Vt2/Xs). These two circles are
represents in the Fig. 3 (see next post as Fig. 1). The field heating and armature heating limitation on machine operation can be seen from this Fig. 3 (see next post as Fig.1).
• The rating of machine which consists of apparent power and power factor is specified as the point of intersection of these circles as shown in the Fig. 4. So that the machine operates safely.

It is found that the resultant flux line is rotating at constant magnitude
This we refer as rotating field or revolving field
The speed at which it rotates will be at synchronous speed – Ns = (120 f / P )
Direction of rotation will be in the clockwise direction as shown in the previous slide
Principle of operation
Operation
We have a rotating field at the stator Rotor is another magnet If properly aligned (?!) these two magnets will
attract each other Since the stator field is rotating at
synchronous speed, it will carry the rotor magnet along with it due to attraction (magnetic locking)
Magnetic Locking - Illustration
Operation – contd.
Why - ?
It is true that magnetic locking will make the rotor run at synchronous speed
Locking cannot happen instantly in a machine (?)
This makes synchronous motors not self starting
Not self starting
Due to inertia
How to make Syn. Motor self starting
If the rotor is moved by external means (to overcome inertial force acting on it) then there is a chance for the motor to get started
Procedure to make SM self start
3 ph supply is given to the stator Motor is driven by external means Rotor is excited At an instant rotor poles will be locked with
the stator field and motor will run at syn. speed
Back EMF & V Curves ,
Inverted V Curves
EMF generation in a motor ? !
We call it as back emf Similar to generated emf in an alternator Rotor rotating at synchronous speed will
induce emf in the stationary armature conductors
The ac voltage applied has to overcome this back emf to circulate current through the armature winding
Back emf
As given, emf is proportional to flux
4.44b C dE K K fTφ=
Back emf
Slight deviation from the topic (?)
Coming back to Back emf
Increase in Load…
In a Synchronous motor with increase in load δ increases
Increase in Load, o.k – What about the speed ?
The speed of the Synchronous motor speed stays constant at synchronous speed even when the load is increased
Magnetic locking between the stator and rotor (stiffness of coupling) keeps the rotor run at synchronous speed
But when the angle of separation (δ) is 90, then stiffness (locking) is lost and the motor ceases to run
At constant load, varying the excitation…
Kindly see to it that
In all the cases discussed above, magnitude of current vector changes
Power factor changes But the product Icosφ would be constant so
that active power drawn by the machine remains constant
What actually happens ?
The resultant air gap flux is due to ac armature winding and dc field winding
If the field is sufficient enough to set up the constant air gap flux then the magnetizing armature current required from the ac source is zero – hence the machine operates at unity power factor – this field current is the normal field current or normal excitation
What actually happens ?
If the field current is less than the normal excitation – then the machine is under excited
This deficiency in flux must be made by the armature mmf – so the armature winding draws magnetizing current or lagging reactive MVA – leaving the machine to operate at lagging power factor
What actually happens ?
In case the field current is made more than its normal operation – then the machine is over excited
This excess flux must be neutralized by the armature mmf – so the machine draws demagnetizing current or leading reactive MVA – leaving the machine to operate at leading power factor

This feature of synchronous motor makes it suitable for improving the power factor of the system

Operation of infinite bus

Operation of AC Generators in Parallelwith Large Power Systems
• Isolated synchronous generator supplying its own load is very rare (emergency generators)
• In general applications more than one generator operating in parallel to supply loads
• In Iran national grid hundreds of generators share the load on the system
• Advantages of generators operating in parallel:1- several generators can supply a larger load2- having many generators in parallel increase the
reliability of power system3- having many generators operating in parallel allows
one or more of them to be removed for shutdown & preventive maintenance
4- if only one generator employed & not operating near full load, it will be relatively inefficient

INFINITE BUS• When a Syn. Gen. connected to power system,
power sys. is so large that nothing operator of generator does, have much effect on pwr. sys.
• Example: connection of a single generator to a large power grid (i.e. Iran grid), no reasonable action on part of one generator can cause an observable change in overall grid frequency
• This idea belong to definition of “Infinite Bus”which is: a so large power system, that its voltage & frequency do not vary, (regardless of amount of real and reactive power load)

Operation of AC Generators in Parallelwith Large Power Systems
• Behavior of a generator connected to a large systemA generator connected in parallel with a large system as shown
• Frequency & voltage of all machines must be the same, their real power-frequency (& reactive power-voltage) characteristics plotted back to back
Operation of AC Generators in Parallelwith Large Power Systems
• Assume generator just been paralleled with infinite bus, generator will be “floating” on the line, supplying a small amount of real power and little or no reactive power
• Suppose generator paralleled, however its frequency being slightly lower than system’s operating frequency At this frequency power supplied by generator is less than system’s operating frequency, generator will consume energy and runs as motor
Operation of AC Generators in Parallelwith Large Power Systems
• In order that a generator comes on line andsupply power instead of consuming it, we should ensure that oncoming machine’s frequency is adjusted higher than running system’s frequency
• Many generators have “reverse-power trip” system
• And if such a generator ever starts to consume power it will be automatically disconnected from line
Starting Methods of Syn Motor
• As seen earlier, synchronous motor is not self starting. It is necessary to rotate the rotor at a speed very near to synchronous speed. This is possible by various method in practice. The various methods to start the synchronous motor are,
1. Using pony motors2. Using damper winding3. As a slip ring induction motor4. Using small d.c. machine coupled to it.
1. Using pony motors• In this method, the rotor is brought to the
synchronous speed with the help of some external device like small induction motor. Such an external device is called 'pony motor'.
• Once the rotor attains the synchronous speed, the d.c. excitation to the rotor is switched on. Once the synchronism is established pony motor is decoupled. The motor then continues to rotate as synchronous motor.
2. Using Damper Winding
3. As a Slip Ring Induction MotorRefer Unit 3 for detail understanding
4. Using Small D.C. Machine• Many a times, a large synchronous motor are provided
with a coupled d.c. machine. This machine is used as a d.c. motor to rotate the synchronous motor at a synchronous speed. Then the excitation to the rotor is provided. Once motor starts running as a synchronous motor, the same d.c. machine acts as a d.c. generator called exciter. The field of the synchronous motor is then excited by this exciter itself.

Refer Book for detail study
Synchronous motors are not self starting machines. Thesemachines are made self starting by providing a special winding in therotor poles, known as damper winding or squirrel cage windings. Thedamper winding consists of short circuited copper bars embedded in theface of the rotor poles
When an ac supply is provided to stator of a 3-phasesynchronous motor, stator winding produces rotating magnetic field.Due to the damper winding present in the rotor winding of thesynchronous motor, machine starts as induction motor (Inductionmachine works on the principle of induction. Damper windings insynchronous motor will carryout the same task of induction motor rotorwindings.
Therefore due to damper windings synchronous motor starts asinduction motor and continue to accelerate). The exciter for synchronousmotor moves along with rotor. When the motor attains about 95% of thesynchronous speed, the rotor windings is connected to exciter terminalsand the rotor is magnetically locked by the rotating magnetic field ofstator and it runs as a synchronous motor.
Functions of Damper Windings:• Damper windings helps the synchronous motor to start
on its own (self starting machine) by providing startingtorque
• By providing damper windings in the rotor ofsynchronous motor "Hunting of machine“ can besuppressed.
When there is change in load, excitation or change inother conditions of the systems rotor of the synchronousmotor will oscillate to and fro about an equilibriumposition. At times these oscillations becomes moreviolent and resulting in loss of synchronism of the motorand comes to halt.
Synchronous Condensers
• When synchronous motor is over excited it takes leading p.f. current. If synchronous motor is on no load, where load angle δ is very small and it is over excited (Eb > V) then power factor angle increases almost up to 90o. And motor runs with almost zero leading power factor condition.
Presented by C.GOKUL,AP/EEE Velalar College of Engg & Tech , Erode
• This characteristics is similar to a normal capacitor which takes leading power factor current. Hence over excited synchronous motor operating on no load condition is called as synchronous condenser or synchronous capacitor. This is the property due to which synchronous motor is used as a phase advancer or as power improvement device.
Disadvantage of Low Power Factor• In various industries, many machines are of induction motor
type. The lighting and heating loads are supplied through transformers. The induction motors and transformers draw lagging current from the supply. Hence the overall power factor is very low and lagging in nature.
• The power is given by,P = VI cosΦ .............. single phase
... I = P/(VcosΦ)
The high current due to low p.f. has following disadvantages :
1. For higher current, conductor size required is more which increases the cost.2. The p.f. is given by
cosΦ = Active power/ Apparent = (P in KW)/ (S in KVA)
Thus for fixed active power P, low p.f. demands large KVA rating
alternators and transformers. This increases the cost.3. Large current means more copper losses and poor efficiency.4. Large current causes large voltage drops in transmission lines, alternators and other equipments. This results into poor regulation.

Separation of Losses
Presented by C.GOKUL,AP/EEE Velalar College of Engg & Tech , Erode
SEPARATION OF NO LOAD LOSSESThe separation of core loss and mechanical loss (windage and friction) can be obtained byno load test conducted from variable voltage, rated frequency supply. Step by step reducethe voltage till the machine slip suddenly start to increase and the motor tends to rest(stall). The core loss decrease almost square of the voltage and windage and friction lossremains almost constant. Plot the curve between applied voltage (V) and power (Po),extended to V=0 which gives mechanical loss.
Mechanical loss will be obtained from graphMagnetic loss + mechanical loss = output powerTherefore., magnetic loss = output power – mechanical loss
Formulae for calculating the equivalent circuit parameters:Z0 = Voc /(Ioc / √3) R0 = Woc / (Ioc) 2X0 = √[( Z0)2 - (R0)2ϕ0 = cos-1 [Woc / (√3 * Voc * Ioc )] RBR = Wsc / (Isc)2

Double Cage Rotor has two independent cages on the same rotor slots, one inside the other for the production of high starting torque. The outer cage (alloy) in the rotor has high resistance and low reactance which is used for starting purpose. The inner cage (copper) has a low resistance and high reactance which is used for running purpose. The constructional arrangement and torque-speed characteristics as shown in fig. 3.5.

Induction Generators
Principle of operationInduction generators and motors produce electrical power when their rotor is rotated faster than the synchronous speed. For a four-pole motor operating on a 50 Hz will have synchronous speed equal to 1500 rpm.In normal motor operation, stator flux rotation is faster than the rotor rotation. This is causing stator flux to induce rotor currents, which create rotor flux with magnetic polarity opposite to stator. In this way, rotor is dragged along behind stator flux, by value equal to slip.In generator operation, a prime mover (turbine, engine) is driving the rotor above the synchronous speed. Stator flux still induces currents in the rotor, but since the opposing rotor flux is now cutting the stator coils, active current is produced in stator coils and motor is now operating as a generator and sending power back to the electrical grid.

The torque-slip curve is shown in fig.3.6.Torque will become zero at synchronous speed. If the speed increases above the synchronous speed, the slip will be negative.
Induction generator differs from the synchronous generator as Dc current excitation is not required. Synchronisation is not required.
Advantages: It does not hunt or drop out of synchronism Simple in construction Cheaper in cost Easy maintenance Induction regulators provide a constant voltage adjustment depending on the loading of the lines.Disadvantages: Cannot be operated independently. Deliver only leading current. Dangerously high voltages may occur over long transmission lines if the synchronous machines at the far end become disconnected and the line capacitance excites the induction machines. The induction generator is not helpful in system stability.Applications: For installation in small power stations where it can be operated in parallel and feeding into a common mains without attendant. For braking purpose in railway work.
Synchronous Induction Motor
SYNCHRONOUS INDUCTION MOTORIt is possible to make the slip ring induction motor to run at synchronous speed when its secondary winding is fed from a dc source. Such motors are then called as synchronous induction motor.

Rotor connections for dc excitation:
Heating will always occur with normal three phase rotor winding as in fig.3.4. The two phase windings (e and f) gives uniform heating but produce large harmonics and noise. In those machines primary chording is commonly employed to reduce the effect of harmonics.
The synchronous induction motor is generally built for outputs greater than 30HP because of its higher cost of the dc exciter. These motors are employed in applications where a constant speed is desirable such as compressors, fans, pumps, etc., If load torque is high and the machines goes out of synchronism, it continues to run as an induction motor. As soon as the load torque falls sufficiently low, the machines will automatically synchronize.
Fig 3.4
Advantages:
It will start and synchronise itself against heavy loads.
No separate damper winding is required.
The exciter may be small unit due to smaller air-gap.

Note that for parts (a) and (b) it is not necessary to use Thevenin equivalent circuit. Calculation can be based on the equivalent circuit of Fig.5.15 as follows:
A three-phase, 460 V, 60 Hz, six-pole wound-rotor induction motor
drives a constant load of 100 N - m at a speed of 1140 rpm when
the rotor terminals are short-circuited. It is required to reduce the
speed of the motor to 1000 rpm by inserting resistances in the
rotor circuit. Determine the value of the resistance if the rotor
winding resistance per phase is 0.2 ohms. Neglect rotational
losses. The stator-to-rotor turns ratio is unity.
Example The following test results are obtained from three
phase 100hp,460 V, eight pole star connected induction machine
No-load test : 460 V, 60 Hz, 40 A, 4.2 kW. Blocked rotor test is
100V, 60Hz, 140A 8kW. Average DC resistor between two stator
terminals is 0.152 Ω
(a) Determine the parameters of the equivalent circuit.
(b) The motor is connected to 3ϕ , 460 V, 60 Hz supply and runs
at 873 rpm. Determine the input current, input power, air
gap power, rotor cupper loss, mechanical power developed,
output power and efficiency of the motor.
(c) Determine the speed of the rotor field relative to stator
structure and stator rotating field

Necessity of Starters / NEED FOR STARTING
Why we need starters? As it is seen that a 3 phase induction motor has
positive finite starting torque ‘T’ when slip s=1. thismean that 3-pahse induction motor is a self-startingmotor and begins to rotate on its own whenconnected to a 3-phase supply.
At the instant of starting 3-phase induction motorbehaves like a transformer with a short-circuitedsecondary.
Consequently, a 3-pahse induction motor takes highstarting current if started at full voltage. In order tolimit this high starting current to reasonable limitsstarting methods are used.
STARTING METHODS OF INDUCTION
MACHINE
Methods of Starting There are primarily two methods of starting the
induction motor:-a) Full voltage starting.b) Reduced voltage starting. Full voltage starting methods consist of:-a) DOL (Direct-on-line starting) Reduced voltage starting consist of:-a) Stator resistor (or reactor) starting.b) Auto-transformer starting.c) Star-delta starting.

DOL(Direct-on-line)Starter
DOL(Direct-on-line)starting This method involves direct switching of
poly-phase stator on to the supply mains. The motor takes starting current of 5 to 7 times its
full load current depending upon its size anddesign.
Such large current of short duration don’t harm therugged squirrel cage motor, but the high currentsmay cause objectionable voltage drop in powersupply feeding the induction motor
These large voltage drop causes undesirable dip inthe supply line voltage, consequently affecting theother equipments connected to the same supply.
The relation between the starting torque Ts and full load torque Tf is now obtained .
Let Is and If be the per phase stator currents drawn from the supply mains corresponding to starting and full load conditions respectively.

Stator resistance(reactor)method In this method, a resistor or a reactor is inserted in
between motor terminals and supply mains. At the time of starting some voltage drop occurs
across the starting resistor and therefore only afraction ‘x’ of supply voltage appears across it.
This reduces the per phase starting currents Isdrawn by the motor from the supply mains.
As the motor speeds up, thereactor is cut out in stepsand finally short-circuitedwhen the motor speed isnear to synchronous speed.
Since the per phase voltage is reduced to ‘xV1’ the per phase starting current is:-

ROTOR RESISTANCE STARTER(only for slip ring induction motor)
Presented by C.GOKUL,AP/EEE Velalar College of Engg & Tech , Erode
• Increasing the rotor resistance, not only is the rotor (and hence stator) current reduced at starting, but at the same time, the starting torque is also increased due to improvement in power factor.
• The introduction of additional external resistance in the rotor circuit enables a slip-ring motor to develop a high starting torque with reasonably moderate starting current.
• Hence, such motors can be started under load. This additional resistance is for starting purpose only. It is gradually cut out as the motor comes up to speed.
Speed control of 3 phase Induction Motor
Speed Control of IM
• Given a load T–ω characteristic, the steady-state speed can be changed by altering the T–ω curve of the motor

a) By changing the applied voltage:Torque equation of induction motor is
Rotor resistance R2 is constant and if slip s is small then sX2 is so small that it can be neglected. Therefore, T ∝ sE2
2 where E2 is rotor induced emf and E2 ∝ V& hence T ∝ V2, thus if supplied voltage is decreased, torque decreases and hence the speed decreases.
This method is the easiest & cheapest, still rarely used because-1) A large change in supply voltage is required for
relatively small change in speed.2) Large change in supply voltage will result in large
change in flux density, hence disturbing the magnetic conditions of the motor.
b) By changing the applied frequency• Synchronous speed of the rotating magnetic field of
induction motor is given by,
f = frequency & P = number of stator poles.• Thus, synchronous speed changes with change in
supply frequency, and thus running speed also changes. However, this method is not widely used. This method is used where, only the induction motor is supplied by a generator (so that frequency can be easily change by changing the speed of prime mover).
V/F control
Variable Frequency Control of IM (v/f control) Speed control above rated (base) speed
Requires the use of PWM inverters to control frequency of motor Frequency increased (i.e. ωs increased) Stator voltage held constant at rated value Air gap flux and rotor current decreases Developed torque
decreasesTe ∝ (1/ωs)
For control belowbase speed –use Constant Volts/Hz method
506
Constant Volts/Hz (V/f) Control Airgap flux in the motor is related to the induced stator
voltage E1 :
For below base speed operation: Frequency reduced at rated Vs - airgap flux saturates
(f ↓ ,φag ↑ and enters saturation region oh B-H curve):- excessive stator currents flow- distortion of flux wave- increase in core losses and stator copper loss

c) By changing No. of poles
synchronous speed(Ns) (and hence, running speed) can be changed by changing the number of stator poles. This method is generally used for squirrel cage induction motors, as squirrel cage rotor adapts itself for any number of stator poles. Change in stator poles is achieved by two or more independent stator windings wound for different number of poles in same slots.For example, a stator is wound with two 3phase windings, one for 4 poles and other for 6 poles.For supply frequency of 50 Hzi) synchronous speed when 4 pole winding is connected,
Ns = 120*50/4 = 1500 RPMii) synchronous speed when 6 pole winding is connected,

CASCADING OPERATION
Cascaded connection
• In this method of speed control, two motors are used. Both are mounted on a same shaft so that both run at same speed.
• One motor is fed from a 3phase supply and other motor is fed from the induced emf in first motor via slip-rings.
Motor A is called main motor and motor B is called auxiliary motor.Let, Ns1 = frequency of motor A
Ns2 = frequency of motor BP1 = number of poles stator of motor AP2 = number of stator poles of motor BN = speed of the set and same for both motorsf = frequency of the supply
Now, slip of motor A, S1 = (Ns1 - N) / Ns1.frequency of the rotor induced emf in motor A, f1 = S1f
now, auxiliary motor B is supplied with the rotor induce emftherefore, Ns2 = (120f1) / P2 = (120S1f) / P2.
now putting the value of S1 = (Ns1 - N) / Ns1
• At no load, speed of the auxiliary rotor is almost same as its synchronous speed.i.e. N = Ns2.
Four different speeds can be obtained1. when only motor A works, corresponding
speed = Ns1 = 120f / P12. when only motor B works, corresponding
speed = Ns2 = 120f / P23. if cummulative cascading is done,
speed of the set = N = 120f / (P1 + P2)4. if differential cascading is done,
speed of the set = N = 120f (P1 - P2)

Braking of 3ph Induction
Motors•Plugging•Dynamic Braking•Regenerative Braking
Braking Methods
• Regenerative Braking• Plugging or reverse voltage braking• Dynamic ( or rheostatic ) braking :
a) ac dynamic brakingb) Self-excited braking using capacitorc) dc dynamic brakingd) zero-sequence braking
1. Regenerative Braking• If an induction motor is forced to run at speeds in
excess of the synchronous speed, the load torque exceeds the machine torque and the slip is negative, reversing the rotor induced EMF and rotor current. In this situation the machine will act as a generator with energy being returned to the supply.
• If the AC supply voltage to the stator excitation is simply removed, no generation is possible because there can be no induced current in the rotor.
Regenerative braking• In traction applications, regenerative braking is
not possible below synchronous speed in a machine fed with a fixed frequency supply. If however the motor is fed by a variable frequency inverter then regenerative braking is possible by reducing the supply frequency so that the synchronous speed becomes less than the motor speed.
• AC motors can be microprocessor controlled to a fine degree and can regenerate current down to almost a stop

Regenerative braking
• Advantage: Generated power is usefully employed
• Disadvantage: It can not be employed below synchronous speed when fed from constant frequency source.
• Speed Range : Between synchronous speed and the speed for which braking torque is maximum.
2. Plugging• Plugging induction motor braking is done by reversing
the phase sequence of the motor. Plugging braking of induction motor is done by interchanging connections of any two phases of stator with respect of supply terminals. And with that the operation of motoring shifts to plugging braking.
• During plugging the slip is (2 - s), if the original slip of the running motor is s, then it can be shown in the following way.
Presented by C.GOKUL,AP/EEE Velalar College of Engg & Tech , Erode
• From the figure beside we can see thatthe torque is not zero at zero speed.That’s why when the motor is needed tobe stopped, it should be disconnectedfrom the supply at near zero speed.
• The motor is connected to rotate in thereverse direction and the torque is notzero at zero or any other speed, and as aresult the motor first decelerates to zeroand then smoothly accelerates in theopposite direction.

Introduction
• What is single phase induction motors?is an induction motor having a squirrel cage
rotor and a single phase stator winding.
Working Principle
Suppose the rotor is at rest and a single phase supply is given to the stator winding. Now the current flowing in the stator winding will produce a m.m.f with in the stator and this m.m.f induces a current in the rotor. Again the induced current inside the rotor will produce a m.m.f with in the rotor itself which is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction with the stator m.m.f. Thus the two m.m.f cancel out each other and as a result there will be no net torque acting on the rotor. There for the rotor will stay at rest. So due to this effect, we have to find another method to start the motor.
Types of Single Phase Induction Motors
Depending on the method used to start the motor : -
• 1) Capacitor-start motors• 2) Capacitor-run motors• 3) Capacitor start-and run motors • 4) Shaded-pole motors
1) Capacitor-Start phase induction motor
• A capacitor-Start motor is a spilt phase induction motor with a starting capacitor inserted in series with the start winding creating an LC Circuit which is capable of producing a much greater torque.
• An Lc circuit refers to a circuit containing an inductor w/c connected together they can act as an electrical resonator w/c stores electrical energy.
Working Principle of single phase capacitor-start motor
• In capacitor-start motors the capacitor enables the motor to handle heavy start loads by increasing the strength of the magnetic field created by the windings. The capacitor is individually mounted outside of the motor as a separate unit either on the top or side of the motor with a centrifugal switch located between the capacitor and the start winding. The switch connects the capacitor with the motor at startup and disconnects them when the motor has reached about 75% of its operating speed. And during startup period when the centrifugal switch is closed, capacitor-start motors typically deliver from 250-350% of the full load torque.
Equivalent circuit of capacitor-start motors
Types of single phase capacitor-start motor
Among this the basic types include:-A) Single voltage externally reversible B) Single voltage non reversible
Applications of single phase capacitor-start motors
Capacitor-start from high torque (>175% full load) are used: - Operation having high starting loads
such as: - Elevators- Compressors &- Refrigerators
• Capacitor-start moderate torque (<175% full load) are used:- Operation having low starting
loads such as:- Fans- Blowers &- Small pumps.
2) Capacitor run motorsCapacitor-run motors are motors having a
capacitor connected in series with the start winding in order to increase the running efficiency.
Capacitor-run motors use run-capacitors that are designed for continuous duty which are energized the entire time during operation of the motor.
Working principle of single phase capacitor-run motors
• In capacitor-run motors, a run-capacitor is connected to the start winding of the motor and it constantly energizes the start winding while the motor is running. And this creates a 90o phase change between the start winding current and the run winding current making a two phase motor. As a result a rotating magnetic field is created within the motor which causes the rotor to rotate more efficiently.
Advantages and disadvantages of capacitor-run motors
AdvantagesThe capacitor remains in the circuit at all
times thus no centrifugal switch is required.They can be designed to have low vibration
and less noise under full load condition.If properly designed, they are more efficient
than other type of motors.
DisadvantagesSince capacitor start motors have low
starting torque they cannot be used in applications with severe starting conditions.
Application of single phase capacitor-run motors
are mainly used for applications requiring low starting torque and high efficiency such as:- Small compressors,
Pumps & Fans.
3) Capacitor start-and-run motors
Capacitor-start-and-run motors or permanent-split capacitor motors are single phase induction motors having
capacitors connected in the circuit during both the starting and the running period. In this type of motors both the start winding and the run windings are permanently connected to the power source through a capacitor at all times.
Types of single phase capacitor start-and-run motors
Depending on the number of capacitors used: -1. Single value capacitor start-and-run
motors:
2. Two value capacitor start-and-run motors
The two values of capacitance can be obtained using two different methods.
a. By using two capacitors in parallel b. By using a step up transformer
Advantage
• Ability to start heavy loads• Ability to develop 25% overload capacity• Higher efficiency and power factor • Extremely quiet operation
Applications of single phase capacitor start-and-run motors
• Two value capacitor start and run motors are frequently used in applications requiring variable speed such as : -
Air handlers, Blowers and Fanes.
• Single value capacitor start-and-run motors are used in applications requiring low starting torque such as:-
Fans Blowers & Voltage regulators.
4) Shaded pole motors
• A shaded pole motor is a single phase induction motor having one or more short circuited windings acting only on a portion of the magnetic circuit.
• Generally the winding is a closed copper ring embedded in the face of the pole together known as the shaded pole which provides the required rotating field for starting purpose.
Working principles of single phase shaded pole motors
• Now when an alternating current is passed through the field or main winding surrounding the whole pole, the magnetic axis of the pole shifts from the unshaded part to the shaded part. which is analogous with the actual physical movement of the pole. As a result the rotor starts rotating in the direction of this shift from the unshaded part to the shaded part.
Advantages and disadvantages of single phase shaded pole motors
AdvantagesSimple in construction Tough surface Reliable and cheap
DisadvantagesLow starting torque Very little overload capacityLow efficiency (5% for tiny sizes – 35%
for higher ratings)
Applications of single phase shaded-pole motors
• Because of its low starting torque, the shaded pole motor is generally used for
Small fans,Toys, Hairdryers,Ventilators etc.
Special Machines
There are variety of special machines availableHere, our territory includes Stepper Motor Hysteresis Motor AC series Motor Linear Reluctance Motor Repulsion Motor
Stepper Motor
Stepper Motor
Stepper Motor, derives its name from the fact that it follows definitive step in response to input pulses
See to it, that the input is in the form of pulses Straightaway it is understood that the input, being pulses, can
be controlled and in turn the output gets controlled Wherever precise positioning is required stepper motors are
widely employed Typical values – stepper motors develop torque ranging from 1
µN-m upto 40 µN-m – power output range from 1 W to 2500 W
Stepper Motor – types
There are three designs of stepper motors available in the literature
They are Variable Reluctance stepper motor Permanent magnet stepper motor Hybrid stepper motor
Stepper Motor – Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor
Operating principle
1. Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor As usual, it has Stator Rotor
Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor- Stator
Stator is a hollow cylinder whose inner periphery houses salient poles
Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor- Rotor
Rotor is a solid cylinder whose outer periphery has salient poles
Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor
Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor
When we emphasize that the operation just performed is 1-phase-ON mode we indirectly mean that we have something called as 2-phase-ON mode and so on
As the name goes, 2-phase-ON mode denotes 2 phases being switched ON at the same time
Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor
2-phase-ON mode
Presented by C.GOKUL,AP/EEE Velalar College of Engg & Tech , Erode
Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor
When we started, 2-phase-ON mode, many would have thought that step angle would be 15 deg
But the table in the previous slide shows the step angle is same as that of the previous case (30 deg, maintained)
But the position of the rotor is changed, which is a desirable factor in some of the position control experiments
Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor
If the step angle is altered from the original intended design, it would add much to the application side of our machine
Can we bring any other step size here? Is it possible, first of all? The answer is yes, it is possible There is no restriction imposed on us in altering the
combination of switching pulses In fact, the 2-phase-ON mode is the child of our manipulation of
combination of phases involved in switching
Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor
Going by the same discussion, if we resort to the combination of 1-phase-ON mode and 2-phase-ON mode we will end up with some interesting operation
Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor
Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor
It is interesting to note here that this discussion has no end in it
We have something called as micro-stepping and the reader is advised to do it as an assignment
Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor
All the previous slides regarding Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor can be confined to what is referred to as single-stack variable reluctance stepper motor
It becomes clear by now that we have something called as multi-stack variable reluctance stepper motor
Presented by C.GOKUL,AP/EEE Velalar College of Engg & Tech , Erode
2. Permanent Magnet Stepper Motor
It is very similar to Variable Reluctance stepper motor
The only difference being that the rotor is made up of permanent magnet
In VR motors, the rotor is a magnetic material (It can carry the flux lines through it)
Permanent Magnet Stepper Motor
Stator and Rotor
Permanent Magnet Stepper Motor
The stator phases can be excited with either positive current or negative current
Positive current in phase A will create a set of poles while the negative current will create opposite poles
Similar is the case with phase B
Permanent Magnet Stepper Motor
Consider positive current in phase A
Permanent Magnet Stepper Motor
Permanent Magnet Stepper Motor
Advantages Permanent magnets require no external
exciting current – low power loss High inertia Develops more torque than VR motor
Permanent Magnet Stepper Motor
Disadvantages It is very difficult to produce permanent
magnet rotor with more number of poles This makes the design of PM motors with
higher step angle
3. Hybrid Stepper Motor
Hybrid stepper motor combine the features of VR and PM stepper motors
The stator is an electromagnet The rotor is a permanent magnet The difference in the rotor is that the rotor
magnet is axial with one end completely north pole and other, south pole
Hybrid Stepper Motor
The confusion, if any, can be better illustrated with the schematic representation given below
Presented by C.GOKUL,AP/EEE Velalar College of Engg & Tech , Erode
Hybrid Stepper Motor
The side view of the axial permanent magnet in the rotor is shown below
Hybrid Stepper Motor
The operation is left as an assignment for the reader
The reader can build on this idea that the rotor alignment would be based on the attraction between formed stator poles (this being electromagnet) and permanent rotor poles
Applications
Type-writers Tape drives Floppy disk drivers Process control systems X-Y plotters
Hysteresis Motor
Hysteresis Motor This is based on the principle of hysteresis Basically this is a constant speed motor
similar to synchronous motor As is always the caseIt has a Stator and a Rotor
Hysteresis Motor - Stator
Stator of hysteresis motor is similar to single phase induction motor
The stator winding can be either split phase type of shaded pole type
Hysteresis Motor - Rotor
Rotor is a smooth cylinder made of chrome-steel
Materials of high resistivity comparable to that of an insulator are normally chosen to make the eddy current loss zero which make the core loss equal only to hysteresis loss
Hysteresis Motor – Operating Principle
The concept of hysteresis is the basis of such motor
As we know, hysteresis is the lagging of magnetic flux density (B) with respect to magnetizing field strength (H)
Hysteresis loss
Remember, the very old hysteresis curve It looks as shown
Hysteresis loss
At the outset, what we can elaborate is that if an attempt is made to induce pole in a magnetic material with higher retentivity – the induced pole will not loose its magnetic property even though the induction is taken out completely
It is like remembering some event even after the event is over (retaining something)
Hysteresis loss
Where this come in the machine?
The typical hysteresis loop for the rotor material
Torque – Slip characteristics
The torque – slip characteristics of hysteresis motor has some interesting points to note
Applications
Precision Audio equipments Record players Electric clocks Tele-printers
AC series Motor
AC series motor An AC motor with commutator and brush
assembly is referred to as commutator motor (Remember commutator and brush assembly
in the wound rotor of an Induction motor) There are two types of commutator motor AC series motor Universal motor
AC series motor
What would happen if a normal dc series motor is connected to ac supply?
The motor will run normally as the torque will still be unidirectional
This is due to the fact that current and flux will change direction simultaneously (dealt during 3 ph IM)
But, power factor would be very poor due to very high inductance of armature and field windings
At the same time, alternating flux would induce eddy emf in the core leading to heavy eddy current loss in the machine
Also, sparking occur at brushes during the commutation period due to heavy voltage and current
AC series motor
These disadvantages make the machine unsuitable with AC supply
Proper modifications can make the machine suitable with AC supply
AC series motor – Required Modifications
Eddy current loss and the associated heating loss can be overcome by properly laminating the machine’s armature core and field core
The power factor can be controlled by decreasing the reactance of armature winding and field winding
AC series motor – Modifications Elaborated
Decreasing the reactance of the field winding increases the speed of the machine due to reduction in the air gap flux
Increase in the speed gives rise to decreased torque Now to improve the torque, armature turns has to be
increased proportionately But this will again increase the effective reactance of
the machine which is undesirable
AC series motor – Modifications Elaborated
To keep the armature reactance minimum and the associated armature reaction reactance effect, a special compensating winding is provided
The compensating winding is connected in such a way so that the flux produced by the compensating winding will be exactly in opposition to the flux produced by the armature winding
This will neutralize the armature reaction reactance effect
AC series motor – Modifications Implementation
This compensating winding can be connected in two ways Based on the connection it is referred as conductively
compensated and inductively compensated
AC series motor – Modifications Implementation
Another major set back is the sparking associated with commutation
In dc motors, this is overcome by commutating poles (com poles) or inter poles
The voltage induced in the short circuited armature winding is huge enough (this voltage is absent in the case of dc motors) which creates undesirable sparking even when inter poles are provided
AC series motor – Modifications Implementation
One method to reduce sparking connecting a shunt resistance with the commutating winding of the machine
By adjusting the resistance, voltage across the compole winding is adjusted
AC series motor – Characteristics
The characteristics of AC series motor are very similar to dc series motor
Repulsion Motor
Repulsion Motor It has a Stator Rotor
Repulsion Motor - Stator
Stator is a hollow cylinder whose inner periphery houses armature conductors
Winding is excited with single phase supply
Repulsion Motor - Motor
Rotor is a solid cylinder whose outer periphery has conductors
It is very similar to the armature of the dc motor with commutator and brush arrangement
The brushes are short circuited by low resistance jumper (why?)
Repulsion Motor - Operation
The operation of the repulsion motor is shown with stator designed as salient pole type
The operation will remain same with stator discussed as salient pole type
But take it that the stator is distributed type with slots carrying single phase armature conductors
Repulsion Motor - Operation
To make it clear
Repulsion Motor - Operation
Then, how to make the motor start?
Repulsion Motor - Shortcomings
Speed changes as the load is changed It becomes very high (dangerously high) at no load Working power factor is very poor Likely sparking at brushes
Repulsion Motor - Shortcomings
Speed changes as the load is changed It becomes very high (dangerously high) at no load Working power factor is very poor Likely sparking at brushes
Presented by C.GOKUL,AP/EEE Velalar College of Engg & Tech , Erode
Repulsion Motor – Overcoming the disadvantages
An attempt in overcoming the disadvantages has given way to new types of Repulsion motor
Compensated Repulsion Motor Here, an extra winding called the compensating
winding is added in series with the armature winding This winding is placed in the inner slots of the stator The main purpose of compensating winding is to
improved the power factor (as in the case of compensation provided in the AC series motor) and to improve the speed regulation
Repulsion Motor – Overcoming the disadvantages
Repulsion-start Induction-Run Motor As the name indicates the motor starts as a
repulsion motor and after attaining 75 percent of the speed the brushes are lifted and the armature winding is shorted as Induction Motor
This arrangement is advantageous as the brushes would not any current during operation
There are also designs in which the brushes ride on the commutator throughout the operation
Repulsion Motor – Overcoming the disadvantages
Repulsion Induction Motor This is the third design in which stator is the same as
in normal repulsion motor But the rotor has two separate windings One winding carries commutator and brush
arrangement similar to dc motor Other winding is squirrel cage winding similar to
cage induction motor Both these windings operate during the entire period
of operation of the motor
Repulsion Motor – Overcoming the disadvantages
Squirrel cage windings are placed deep inside the rotor and remains inactive during start due to its high reactance
When the rotor attains 85 % of the speed, squirrel cage windings takes control
Commutated windings provide the starting torque which is seen to well above 350 percent of the full-load torque
Linear Induction Motor
Linear Induction Motor The readers are advised to do this part as an

Linear Induction Motor
A normal Induction motor has a stator and a rotor Stator is a hollow cylinder with conductors in its inner
periphery Rotor is a solid cylinder with conductors on its outer
periphery
Linear Induction Motor
If the stator is cut in to half parallel to its axis (It will look as english alphabet “U” from the front end), the motor is referred to as sector Induction Motor
The important to note is that the motor will work developing almost 30 % of its power rating
Anyway the voltage has to be reduced to prevent saturation since the number of conductors has been reduced to half of its original value
Linear Induction Motor
If the U shaped stator and cylindrical rotor is made flat, then the machine is referred to as Linear Induction Motor
As a passing reference, the reader can note that this type of machine is employed in trains which operate on the principle of Magnetic Levitation
Servo Motor
Presented by C.GOKUL,AP/EEE Velalar College of Engg & Tech , Erode
Introduction
They are also called control motors and have high-torque capabilities
Basic principle of operation is the same as that of other electromagnetic motors. However, their construction, design and mode of operation are different.
Their power ratings vary from a fraction of a watt up to a few 100 W.
Both DC and AC (2-phase and 3-phase) servomotors are used.Applications In radar , tracking and guidance systems, process controllers,
computers and machine tools.
DC Servomotors These motors are either separately-excited dc motors or permanent-
magnet dc motors. The schematic diagram of a separately-excited DC motor along with its
armature and field MMFs and torque/speed characteristics is shown in Fig. 39.26. The speed of DC servomotors is normally controlled by varying the armature voltage. Their armature is deliberately designed to have large resistance so that torque-speed characteristics are linear and have a large negative slope as shown in Fig. 39.26 (c). The negative slope serves the purpose of providing the viscous damping for the servo drive system.
As shown in Fig. 39.26 (b), the armature mmf. and excitation field mmf are in quadrature. This fact provides a fast torque response because torque and flux become decoupled.
Accordingly, a step change in the armature voltage or current produces a quick change in the position or speed of the rotor.
AC Servomotors Such motors normally run on a frequency of 60 Hz or 400
Hz (for airborne systems). The stator has two distributed windings which are displaced from each other by 90º (electrical).
The main winding (also called the reference or fixed phase) is supplied from a constant voltage source, Vm∠ 0º (Fig. 39.27). The other winding (also called the control phase) is supplied with a variable voltage of the same frequency as the reference phase but is phase-displaced by 90º (electrical).
The control phase voltage is controlled by an electronic controller. The speed and torque of the rotor are controlled by the phase difference between the main and control windings. Reversing the phase difference from leading to lagging (or vice-versa) reverses the motor direction.
