Single Phase induction Motor [1/h. 6] Equivalent ircuit of a Single-Phase nduction Motor without ore Loss [1/6.5/p.17] A single-phase motor may be looked upon as consisting of two motors, having a common stator winding, but with their respective rotors revolving in opposite directions. The equivalent circuit of such a motor based on double-field revolving theory is shown in Fig. 6.14. Fig. 6.14 Here the single-phase motor has been imagined to be made up of (i one stator winding and (ii two imaginary rotors. The stator impedance is =R 1 +jx 1. The impedance of each rotor is (r 2 +jx 2 where r 2 and x 2 represent half the actual rotor values in stator terms (i.e. x 2 stands for half the standstill reactance of the rotor, as referred to stator. Since iron loss has been neglected, the exciting branch is shown consisting of exciting reactance only. Each rotor has been assigned half magnetizing reactance (i.e. x m represents half the actual reactance. The impedance of forward running rotor is jxm ( + jx2 s f = + j( xm + x2 s And it runs with a slip of s. The impedance of backward running motor is jxm ( + jx2 2 s b = + j( xm + x2 2 s And it runs with a slip of (2-s. Under standstill condition, V f =V b, but under running conditions Vf is almost 90 to 95% of the applied voltage. 2 The forward torque in synchronous watts ist f =. Similarly, backward torque s 2 5 ist b =.

The core loss can be represented by an equivalent resistance which may be connected either in parallel or in series with the magnetizing reactance as shown in Fig 6.15. Since under running condition V f is very high (and V b is correspondingly, low most of the iron loss takes place in the forward motor consisting of the common stator and forward-running rotor. ore-loss current w =core-loss/v f. Hence, half value of core-loss equivalent resistance is r c =V f / w. As shown in Fig 6.15, r c has been connected in parallel with x m in each rotor. (a Fig. 6.15 (b Example 6.. A 250 W, 20 V, 50 Hz capacitor-start motor has the following constants for the main and auxiliary winding: Main winding, m =(4.5+j.7 ohm, Auxiliary winding, a =(9.5+j.5 ohm. Determine the value of the starting capacitor that will place the main and auxiliary winding currents in quadrature at starting. Solution: Let X be the reactance of the capacitor connected in the auxiliary winding. Then a =9.5+j(.5-X =(9.5-jX ohm where, X is the net reactance Now, m =(4.5+j.7=5.82 9.4 o ohm Obviously, m lags behind V by 9.4 o. Since time phase angle between m and a has to be 90 o, a must lead V by (9.4 o - 90 o =-50.6 o. For auxiliary winding, tanφ a =(.5-X /R or tan(-50.6 o = (.5-X /9.5=-1.217 Or (.5-X =-9.5 1.217=-11.56 ohm X =11.56+.5=15.06 ohm Or 1/(2 π 50 =15.06 or =1/(2 π 50 15.06= 211 10-06 F =211 µf.

apacitor Start-and-Run Motor [1/6.8/181] This motor is similar to the capacitor-start motor except that the starting winding and capacitor are connected in the circuit at all time. The advantage of leaving the capacitor permanently in circuit are: (i improvement of over-load capacity of the motor, (ii a higher power factor, (iii higher efficiency, and (iv quieter running of the motor which is so much desirable for small power drivers in offices and laboratories. Some of these motors which start and run with one value of capacitance in the circuit are called single-value capacitor-run motor. Other which start with high value of capacitance but run with a low value of capacitance are known as two-value capacitor-run motor. Single-value apacitor Run Motor t has one running winding and one starting winding in series with a capacitor as shown in Fig. 6.28. Since the capacitor remains in the circuit permanently, this motor is often referred to as permanent-split capacitor-run motor and behaves practically like an unbalanced two-phase motor. Fig. 6.28 Fig. 6.29 Fig. 6.0 Obviously, there is no need to use centrifugal switch which has necessary in the case of capacitor-start motors. Since the same capacitor is used for starting and running, it is obvious that neither optimum starting nor optimum running performance can be obtained because value of capacitance used must be a compromise between the best value for starting and that for running. Generally, capacitors of 2 to 20 µf capacitance are employed and are more expensive oil or pyranol-insulated foil-paper capacitors because of continuous-duty rating. The low value of the capacitor results in small starting torque which is about 50 to 100% of the rated torque as shown in Fig. 6.29. onsequently, these motors are used where the required starting torque is low such as airmoving equipment i.e. fans, blowers and voltage regulator and also oil burners where quiet operation is particularly desirable. One unique feature of this type of motor is that it can be reversed by an external switch provided its running and staring winding are identical. One serves as the running winding and the other as a starting winding for one direction of rotation. For reverse rotation, the one that previously served as a running winding becomes the starting winding while the former starting winding serves as a running winding. As seen from Fig. 6.0 when the switch in the forward position, winding B Prepared by Dr. M. A. Mannan Page of 8
serves as running winding and A as starting winding. When switch is in reverse position, winding A becomes the running winding and B the starting winding. Such reversible motors are often used for operating device that must be moved back and forth very frequently such rheostats, induction regulations, furnace controls, valves and arc-welding controls. Two-Value apacitor-run Motor This motor starts with a high capacitor in series with the starting winding so that the starting torque is high. For running, a lower capacitor is substitute by the centrifugal switch. Both the running and starting windings remain in circuit. The two values of capacitance can be obtained as follows: 1. by using two capacitors in parallel at the starting and then switching out one for low-value run as shown in Fig. 6.1, or 2. by using a step-up auto-transformer in conjunction with one capacitor so that effective capacitance value is increased for starting purpose. n Fig. 6.1, B is an electrolytic capacitor of high capacity (short duty and A is an oil capacitor of low value (continuous duty. Generally, starting capacitor B is 10 to 15 times the running capacitor A. At the start, when the centrifugal switch is closed, the two capacitors are put in parallel, so that their combined capacitance is the sum of their individual capacitances. After the motor has reached 75% full-load speed, the switch opens and only capacitor A remains in the starting winding circuit. n this way, both optimum starting and running performance is achieved in such motors. f properly designed, such motors have operating characteristics very closely resembling those displayed by two-phase motors. Their performance is characterized by 1. ability to start heavy loads, 2. extremely quiet operation,. higher efficiency and power factor, and 4. ability to develop 25% overload capacity Hence, such motors are ideally suited where load requirements are severe as in the case of compressors and fire strokers etc. As motor speeds up, the centrifugal switch shifts the capacitor from one voltage tap to another so that the voltage transformation ratio changes from higher value at starting to a lower value for running. The capacitor which is actually of the paper-tinfoil construction is immersed in a high grade insulation like wax or mineral oil. The use of an auto-transformer and single oil-type capacitor is illustrated in Fig. 6.2. The transformer and capacitor are sealed in a rectangular iron box and mounted on top of the motor. The idea behind using this combination is that a capacitor of value connected to the secondary of a step-up transformer appears to the primary as though it had a value of K 2 where K is voltage transformation ratio.

Fig. 6.1 Fig. 6.2 For example, if actual value of =4 µf and K=6, then low-voltage primary acts as if it had a 144 µf (=6 2 4 capacitor connected across its terminals. Obviously, effective value of capacitance has increased 6 times. n the start position of the switch, the connection is made to the mid-tap of the auto-transformer so that K=2. Hence, effective value of capacitance at start is 4 times the running value and is sufficient to give a high starting torque. Problem A 250 W, 20 V, 50 Hz capacitor-start motor has the following constants for the main and auxiliary winding: Main winding, m =(4.5+j.7 ohm, Auxiliary winding, a =(9.5+j.5 ohm. alculate (a the value of the starting capacitor that will place the main and auxiliary winding currents in quadrature at starting, and (b the magnitudes and phase angles of the currents in the main and auxiliary windings when rated voltage is applied to the motor under starting conditions. Solution: Let X be the reactance of the capacitor connected in the auxiliary winding. Then a =9.5+j(.5-X =(9.5-jX ohm where, X is the net reactance Now, m =(4.5+j.7=5.82 9.4 o ohm Obviously, m lags behind V by 9.4 o. Since time phase angle between m and a has to be 90 o, a must lead V by (9.4 o - 90 o =-50.6 o. For auxiliary winding, tanφ a =(.5-X /R or tan(-50.6 o = (.5-X /9.5=-1.217 Or (.5-X =-9.5 1.217=-11.56 ohm X =11.56+.5=15.06 ohm Or 1/(2 π 50 =15.06 or =1/(2 π 50 15.06= 211 10-06 F =211 µf.

Problem [6]: The impedance of the main and auxiliary windings of a 50 Hz single-phase induction motor are +j Ω and 6+jΩ respectively.
