Effect of Slip on Rotor Parameters : Part 1

Effect of Slip on Rotor Parameters
In case of a transformer, frequency of the induced e.m.f. in the secondary is same as the voltage applied to primary. Now in case of induction motor at start N = 0 and slip s = 1. Under this condition as long as s = 1, the frequency of induced e.m.f. in rotor is same as the voltage applied to the stator. But as motor gathers speed, induction motor has some slip corresponding to speed N. In such case, the frequency of induced e.m.f. in rotor is no longer same as that of stator voltage. Slip affects the frequency of rotor induced e.m.f. Due to this some other rotor parameters also get affected. Let us study the effect of slip on the following rotor parameters.
1. Rotor frequency       2. Magnitude of rotor induced e.m.f.      3. Rotor reactance
4. Rotor power factor     and     5. Rotor current

1. Effect on rotor frequency
        In case of induction motor, the speed of rotating magnetic field is,
                  Ns = (120 f )/P                                                  ..........(1)
Where        f = Frequency of supply in Hz
       At start when N = 0, s = 1 and stationary rotor has maximum relative motion with respect to R.M.F. Hence maximum e.m.f. gets induced in the rotor at start. The frequency of this induced e.m.f. at start is same as that of supply frequency.
       As motor actually rotates with speed N, the relative speed of rotor with respect R.M.F. decreases and becomes equal to slip speed of Ns - N. The induced e.m.f. in rotor depends on rate of cutting flux i.e. relative speed Ns - N. Hence in running condition magnitude of induced e.m.f. decreases so as to its frequency. The rotor is wound for same number of  poles as that of stator i.e. P. If fr is the frequency of rotor induced e.m.f. in running condition at slip speed Ns - N then there exists a fixed relation between (Ns - N), fr and P similar to equation (1). So we can write for rotor in running condition,
            (Ns - N) = (120 fr)/P , rotor poles = stator poles = P                 ..........(2)
       Dividing (2) by (1) we get,
           (Ns - N)/Ns = (120 fr / P)/(120 f / P)      but (Ns - N)/Ns = slip s
            s = fr/f
            fr  = s f
       Thus frequency of rotor induced e.m.f. in running condition (fr) is slip times the supply frequency (f).
       At start we have s = 1 hence rotor frequency is same as supply frequency. As slip of the induction motor is in the range 0.01 to 0.05, rotor frequency is very small in the running condition.
Example  : A 4 pole, 3 phase, 50 Hz induction motor runs at a speed of 1470 r.p.m. speed. Find the frequency of the induced e.m.f in the rotor under this condition.
Solution : The given values are,
            P = 4,    f = 50 Hz,       N = 1470  r.p.m.
           Ns   = (120 f )/ P = (120 x 50)/4 = 1500 r.p.m.
           s = (Ns - N)/Ns = (1500-1470)/1500 = 0.02
           fr  = s f =  0.02 x  50 = 1 Hz
       It can be seen that in running condition, frequency of rotor induced e.m.f. is very small.

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.

Electrical Engineering interview questions and answers Part 17

Why star delta starter is preferred with induction motor? Star delta starter is preferred with induction motor due to following reasons: • Starting current is reduced 3-4 times of the direct current due to which voltage drops and hence it causes less losses. • Star delta starter circuit comes in circuit first during starting of motor, which reduces voltage 3 times, that is why current also reduces up to 3 times and hence less motor burning is caused. • In addition, starting torque is increased and it prevents the damage of motor winding. State the difference between generator and alternator Generator and alternator are two devices, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Both have the same principle of electromagnetic induction, the only difference is that their construction. Generator persists stationary magnetic field and rotating conductor
