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,
                E2 = 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 Ns - N. Let this e.m.f. be,
               E2r = Rotor induced e.m.f. per phase in running condition 
Now        E2r α Ns while E2r α Ns - N
       Dividing the two proportionality equations,
              E2r/E2= ( Ns - N)/Ns    but (Ns - N)/N = slip s
              E2r/E2 = s
              E2r = s E2
       The magnitude of the induced e.m.f in the rotor also reduces by slip times the magnitude of induced e.m.f. at standstill condition.

3. Effect on Rotor Resistance and Reactance
       The rotor winding has its own resistance and the inductance. In case of squirrel cage rotor, the rotor resistance is very very small and generally neglected but slip ring rotor has its own resistance which can be controlled by adding external resistance through slip rings. In general let,
                                                R2 = Rotor resistance per phase onstandstill
                                                X2 = Rotor reactance per phase on standstill
       Now at standstill,               fr = f    hence if L2 is the inductance of rotor per phase,
                                                X2 = 2πfr L2   = 2πf L2   Ω/ph
       While                                R2 = Rotor resistance in Ω/ph
       Now in running condition,  fr = s f   hence,
                                                X2r = 2πfr L2 = 2πfs L2   = s .(2πf L2)
                                                X2r = s X2
where                                       X2r  = Rotor reactance in running condition
       Thus resistance as independent of frequency remains same at standstill and in running condition. While the rotor reactance decreases by slip times the rotor reactance at standstill.
       Hence we can write rotor impedance per phase as :
                              Z2 = Rotor impedance on standstill (N = 0) condition
                                  = R2 + j X2 Ω/ph
                               Z2 = √( R22+ X2)2) Ω/ph            ...... magnitude
       While                Z2r = Rotor impedance in running condition 
                                      = R2 + j X2r = R2 + j (s X2) Ω/ph
                                Z2r = √(R22+ (s X2)2)      Ω/ph       ...... magnitude

Practical Commutation

The e.m.f. induced in each coil of armature is alternating in nature. If load is connected, the current flowing will also be alternating. But the flow of current in a d.c. generator must be undirectional. This can be achieved by the use of commutator. When the armature conductors are under the influence of one pole they carry current in one direction whereas the current is reversed when the conductors are under the influence of other pole. This reversal of current takes place along the magnetic neutral axis. Fig. 1 Note : The reversal of current is likely to take place in short interval when a coil is short circuited by a brush so that transfer of current from one direction to other is carried out without any sparking. This process is called commutation.        Thus a process by which current in the short circuited coil is reversed while it crosses the MNA is called commutation. The time during which the coil remains short circuited is known as...

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...
