Demagnetising and Cross Magnetizing Conductors

The conductors which are responsible for producing demagnetizing and distortion effects are shown in the Fig.1.
Fig. 1
       The brushes are lying along the new position of MNA which is at angle θ  from GNA. The conductors in the region AOC = BOD = 2θ  at the top and bottom of the armature are carrying current in such a direction as to send the flux in armature from right to left. Thus these conductors are in direct opposition to main field and called demagnetizing armature conductors.
        The remaining armature conductors which are lying in the region AOD and BOC carry current in such a direction as to send the flux pointing vertically downwards i.e. at right angles to the main field flux. Hence these conductors are called cross magnetizing armature conductors which will cause distortion in main field flux.
       These conductors are shown in the Fig. 2
Fig. 2
 1.1 Calculation of Demagnetizing and Cross Magnetizing Amp-Turns
       Let us the number of demagnetizing and cross magnetizing amp-turns.
       Let       Z    = Total number of armature conductors
                   P = Number of poles
                   I = Armature conductor current in Amperes
                     = Ia/2 for simplex wave winding
                     = Ia/P for simplex lap winding
                θm = Forward lead of brush in mechanical degrees.
       The conductors which are responsible for demagnetizing ampere-turns are lying in the region spanning 4 θm degrees. The region is between angles AOC and BOD, as shown in the Fig. 2.
...      Total number of armature conductors lying in angles AOC and BOD.
       Since two conductors from one turn,
       The conductor which are responsible fro cross magnetizing ampere turns are lying between the angles AOD and BOC, as shown in the Fig.2.
       Total armature-conductors / pole = Z/P
       From above we have found an expression for demagnetizing conductors per pole.
       Since two conductors from one turn,
       If the brush shift angle is given in electrical degrees then it should be converted into mechanical degrees by using the relation,

Condition for Maximum Power Developed In Synchronous Motor

The value of δ for which the mechanical power developed is maximum can be obtained as, Note : Thus when R a is negligible, θ = 90 o for maximum power developed. The corresponding torque is called pull out torque. 1.1 The Value of Maximum Power Developed        The value of maximum power developed can be obtained by substituting θ = δ in the equation of P m .        When R a is negligible,     θ = 90 o  and cos (θ) = 0 hence, . . .               R a = Z s cosθ   and X s = Z s sinθ        Substituting   cosθ = R a /Z s in equation (6b) we get,         Solving the above quadratic in E b we get,        As E b is completely dependent on excitation, the equation (8) gives the excitation limits for any load for a synchronous motor. If the excitation exceeds this limit, the motor falls out of step. 1.2 Condition for Excitation When Motor Develops ( P m ) R max        Let us find excitation condition for maximum power developed. The excitation

Effect of Slip on Rotor Parameters : Part2

Effect of Slip on Rotor Parameters 2. Effect of Slip on Magnitude of Rotor Induced E.M.F        We have seen that when rotor is standstill, s  = 1, relative speed is maximum and maximum e.m.f. gets induced in the rotor. Let this e.m.f. be,                 E 2 = Rotor induced e.m.f. per phase on standstill condition         As rotor gains speed, the relative speed between rotor and rotating magnetic field decreases and hence induced e.m.f. in rotor also decreases as it is proportional to the relative speed N s - N. Let this e.m.f. be,                E 2r = Rotor induced e.m.f. per phase in running condition  Now        E 2r α N s while E 2r α N s - N        Dividing the two proportionality equations,               E 2r /E 2 = ( N s - N)/N s    but (N s - N)/N = slip s               E 2r /E 2 = s               E 2r = s E 2        The magnitude of the induced e.m.f in the rotor also reduces by slip times the
