Effect of Slip on Rotor Parameters : Part 3

Effect of Slip on Rotor Parameters
4. Effect on Rotor Power factor
       From rotor impedance, we can write the expression for the power factor of rotor at standstill and also in running condition.
       The impedance triangle on standstill condition is shown in the Fig1. From it we can write,
                        cos Φ2 = Rotor power factor on standstill
                                    = R2/Z2 =R2/√(R22+ X22)
       The impedance in running condition becomes Z2r and the corresponding impedance triangle is shown in the Fig.2. From Fig. 2 we can write,
                        cos Φ2r = Rotor power factor in running condition
                                     = R2/Z2r = R2/√(R22+ (s X2)2)
Key point : As rotor winding is inductive, the rotor p.f. is always lagging in nature.

5. Effect on Rotor Current
       Let                     I2 = Rotor current per phase on standstill condition 
       The magnitude of Idepends on magnitude of E2 and impedance Zper phase.
                                  I= (Eper phase)/(Zper phase) A
       Substituting expression of Z2 we get,
                                   I2 = E2 /√(R22+ X22)      A
       The equivalent rotor circuit on standstill is shown in the Fig.3. The Φ2 is the angle between E2 and I2 which determines rotor p.f. on standstill.
Fig. 3
       In the running condition, Z2 changes to Z2r while the induced e.m.f. changes to E2r. Hence the magnitude of current in the running condition is also different than on standstill. The equivalent circuit on running condition is shown in the Fig. 4.
                                 I2r = Rotor current per phase in running condition
       The value of slip depends on speed which inturn depends on load on motor hence X2r is shown variable in the equivalent circuit. From the equivalent we can write,
                                 I2r =  E2r/Z2r = (s E2)/√(R22+ (s X2)2)      
       Φ2r is the angle between E2r and I2r which decides p.f. in running condition .
Fig. 4
Key point : Putting s  = 1 in the expression obtained in running condition, the values at standstill can be obtained.

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...
