1.
The 
stator winding resistance 
is kept small in order to reduce the
 
stator
copper
 
loss.
2.
The 
stator winding leakage reactance 
is minimized by reducing the
 
mean-
turn length of each
 
coil.
3.
Thin laminations of low-loss steel are used to cut down the core loss.
 
Thus,
the equivalent 
core-loss resistance 
is usually
 
high.
4.
The permeability of steel selected for laminations is high, and the
 
operating
flux density in 
the 
motor is kept below 
the 
knee of the magnetization curve.
Thus, the 
magnetization reactance 
is usually
 
high.

An induction motor conforming to the above stipulations can be represented
by an 
approximate equivalent circuit
, as shown in Figure 1-7, where we
 
have
placed the parallel branch (the excitation circuit) 
across 
the power
 
source.
We 
admit that the analysis of an induction motor using the approximate
equivalent circuit is somewhat inaccurate, but the inaccuracy is negligible
 
for
a well-designed
 
motor.
On the other hand, the approximate equivalent circuit not only simplifies the
analysis but also aids in comprehending various characteristics of the
 
motor.
For instance, we 
use 
the approximate equivalent circuit to determine
 
the
speed at which 
(a) 
the torque developed is maximum
, 
(b) 
the power
developed is maximum
, and 
(c) 
the motor 
efficiency 
is
 
maximum
.

  1. THREE-PHASE INDUCTION MOTORS An Approximate Equivalent Circuit

  2. Power Relations For 3-Phase IM EXAMPLE 1-2 A 480V, 60Hz, 50hp, Y-connected, 3 phase induction motor is drawing 60A at 0.85 PF lagging. The stator copper losses are 2kW, and the rotor copper losses are 700W. The friction and windage losses are 600W, the core losses are 1800W, and the stray losses are negligible. Using the power flow diagram in Figure 1-6a, find: a) The air gap power Pag. b) The power converted Pd. c) The output power Po. d) The efficiency of the motor.

  3. Power Relations For 3-Phase IM EXAMPLE 1-3 A 6-pole, 230-V, 60-Hz, Y-connected, three-phase induction motor has the following parameters on a per-phase basis: R1 = 0.5 , R2 = 0.25 , X1 = 0.75 , X2 = 0.5 , Xm = 100 , and Rc = 500 . The friction and windage loss is 150 W. Determine the efficiency of the motor at its rated slip of 2.5%. SOLUTION The synchronous speed of the motor is N =120 f=120 60 = 1200 rpm or s 6 P s= 125.66 rad / s The per-phase applied voltage is V =VL=230 = 132.8V 1 3 3 The effective rotor impedance as referred to the stator is =0.25 0.025 =R2 + jX + j 0.5 = 10 + j 0.5 Z 2 2 s 3

  4. Power Relations For 3-Phase IM SOLUTION (1-3) cont. Since Rc, jXm, and are in parallel, we can compute the equivalent impedance as: 1=1 Z 2 1 1 + + Z e Rc 1 500 j Xm 1 1 Z e= 9.619 + j 1.417 and = + + = 0.102 j 0.015 S 10 + j0.5 j100 The stator winding impedance is Z = R + jX = 0.5 + j 0.75 1 1 1 Hence, the total input impedance is Z = Z + Z = 10.119 + j 2.167 1 in e The stator current: 132.8 00 V Zin I1 = 1=10.119 + j2.167 =12.832 12.1 A 0 The power factor: pf = cos( ) = cos( ) = cos(12.1 ) = 0.978 lagging 0 v i Power input: Pin= 3V1 I1 cos = 3 132.8 12.832 0.978 = 4998.54 W 4

Stator copper loss: P = 3I 2 R = 3 12.8322 0.5 =246.99 W scl 1 1 The induced emf in the stator winding is E = V I Z =132.8 (12.832 12.10)(0.5+ j0.75)=124.763 3.710V 1 1 1 1 Hence, the Core loss is Pm = 3E2/ R = 3(124.76)2 / 500 = 93.75W The Air-gappower: Pag Pscl 1 c = Pin Pm = 4657.8 W The Rotor copper loss: Prcl= 3 I2R P = sP rcl = 0.25 4657.8 = 116.46W or 2 2 ag Power developed: Prcl Pd = Pag = 4541.34 W Power output: P0 = Pd Pr= 4541.34 150 = 4391.34 W Efficiency: % =P0 100 =87.9% Pin 5

  6. An Approximate Equivalent Circuit A well-designed three-phase induction motor usually meets most ofthe following guidelines: (refer to the per-phase equivalent circuit shown in Figure 1-4) 1.The stator winding resistance is kept small in order to reduce thestator copper loss. 2.The stator winding leakage reactance is minimized by reducing the mean- turn length of each coil. 3.Thin laminations of low-loss steel are used to cut down the core loss.Thus, the equivalent core-loss resistance is usually high. 4.The permeability of steel selected for laminations is high, and the operating flux density in the motor is kept below the knee of the magnetization curve. Thus, the magnetization reactance is usually high. Figure1-4 21

  7. An Approximate Equivalent Circuit An induction motor conforming to the above stipulations can be represented by an approximate equivalent circuit, as shown in Figure 1-7, where wehave placed the parallel branch (the excitation circuit) across the powersource. We admit that the analysis of an induction motor using the approximate equivalent circuit is somewhat inaccurate, but the inaccuracy is negligible for a well-designed motor. On the other hand, the approximate equivalent circuit not only simplifies the analysis but also aids in comprehending various characteristics of the motor. For instance, we use the approximate equivalent circuit to determinethe speed at which (a) the torque developed is maximum, (b) the power developed is maximum, and (c) the motor efficiency ismaximum.
