Analysis of Phasor Diagram Of Synchronous Motor

Consider a phasor diagram with normal excitation i.e. such a current through field winding which will produce flux that will adjust magnitude of Ebph same as Vph.
       Let δ be the load angle corresponding to the load on the motor. So from the exact opposing position of Ebph with respect to Vph. Ebph gets displaced by angle δ.
       Vector difference of Ebph and Vph, gives the phasor which represents Ia Zs, called ERph.
       Now  Zs = Ra + j X
       where Ra = Resistance of stator per phase
                 X= Synchronous reactance of stator per phase
       i.e.        θ = tan-1 (Xs/Ra)
       and      | Zs | = √(Ra2 + Rs2) Ω
       This angle 'θ' is called internal machine angle or an impedance angle.
       The significant of 'θ' is that it tells us that phasor Iaph lags behind ERph i.e. Ia Zs by angle θ. Current always lags in case of inductive impedance with respect to voltage drop across that impedance. So phasor Iaph  can be shown lagging with respect to ERph by angle θ. Practically Ra is very small compared to Xa and hence θ tends to 90o.
       Note : The power factor at which motor is running, gets decided by the angle between Vph and Iaph shown. This angle is denoted as Φ and called power factor angle.

       and cos Φ = Power factor at which motor is working.
       The nature of this p.f. is lagging if Iaph lags Vph by angle Φ. While it is leading if Iaph leads Vph by angle Φ. Phasor diagram indicating all the details is shown in the Fig.1.

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  ...

Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control of dc motor

Speed Control of D.C. Shunt Motor (Part2)  2. Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control        The speed is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the armature. As the supply voltage is normally constant, the voltage across the armature can be controlled by adding a variable resistance in series with the armature as shown in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Rheostat control of shunt motor        The field winding is excited by the normal voltage hence I sh is rated and constant in this method. Initially the reheostat position is minimum and rated voltage gets applied across the armature. So speed is also rated. For a given load, armature current is fixed. So when extra resistance is added in the armature circuit, I a remains same and there is voltage drop across the resistance added ( I a R). Hence voltage across the armature decreases, decreasing the speed below normal value. By varyi...

Characteristics of Separately Excited D.C. Generators

The characteristics is separately excited d.c. generator are divided into two types, 1) Magnetization   and         2) Load characteristics. 1.1 Magnetization or Open Circuit Characteristics         The arrangement to obtain this characteristics is shown in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1  Obtaining O.C.C. of separately excited generator        The rheostat as a potential driver is used to control the field current and the flux. It is varied from zero and is measured on ammeter connected.        E o  = (ΦPNZ) / (60A)        As I f is varied, then Φ change and hence induced e.m.f. E o  also varies. It is measured on voltmeter connected across armature. No Load is connected to machine, hence characteristics are also called no load characteristics which is graph of E o  against field current I f as sho...
