4 / 54 page Background AN2388 4/54 1 Background 1.1 AC induction motor The AC induction motor is a rotating electric machine designed to operate from a 3-phase source of alternating voltage. Asynchronous motors are based on induction. The cheapest and most widely used is the squirrel cage motor in which aluminum conductors or bars are cast into slots in the outer periphery of the rotor. These conductors or bars are shorted together at both ends of the rotor by cast aluminum end rings. For variable speed drives, the source is normally an inverter that uses power switches to produce approximately sinusoidal voltages and currents controllable in terms of frequency and magnitude. Like most motors, an AC induction motor has a fixed outer portion, called the stator and a rotor that spins inside with a well-optimized air gap between the two. Virtually all electrical motors use magnetic field rotation to spin their rotors. A three-phase AC induction motor is the only type where the rotating magnetic field is generated naturally in the stator because of the nature of the supply. In an AC induction motor, one set of electromagnets is formed in the stator because the AC supply is connected to the stator windings. The alternating nature of the supply voltage induces an Electromagnetic Force (EMF) in the rotor (just like the voltage is induced in the secondary transformer) as per Lenz’s law, thus generating another set of electromagnets; hence the name “induction motors”. Interaction between the magnetic field of these electromagnets generates a revolving force, or torque. As a result, the motor rotates in the direction of the resultant torque. 1.1.1 Stator The stator is made up of several thin laminations of aluminum or cast iron. They are punched and clamped together to form a hollow cylinder (stator core) with slots as shown in Figure 1. Coils of insulated wires are inserted into these slots. Each grouping of coils, together with the core it surrounds, forms an electromagnet (a polar pair) on the application of AC supply. The number of poles of an AC induction motor depends on the internal connection of the stator windings. Internally they are connected in such a way, that when an AC supply is applied, a rotating magnetic field is created. |
