Power Flow in Synchronous Motor

Net input to the synchronous motor is the three phase input to the stator.
...                      Pin = √3 VL IL cosΦ W 
       where         VL = Applied Line Voltage
                          IL = Line current drawn by the motor
                          cosΦ = operating p.f. of synchronous motor
       or                Pin  = 3 ([er phase power)
                                 = 3 x Vph Iaph cosΦ W
       Now in stator, due to its resistance Ra per phase there are stator copper losses.
       Total stator copper losses = 3 x (Iaph)2 x Ra W
...     The remaining power is converted to the mechanical power, called gross mechanical power developed by the motor denoted as Pm.
...                Pm = Pin - Stator copper losses
       Now    P = T x ω
...                Pm  = Tg  x (2πNs/60)  as speed is always Ns
       This is the gross mechanical torque developed. In d.c. motor, electrical equivalent of gross mechanical power developed is Eb x Ia, similar in synchronous motor the electrical equivalent of gross mechanical power developed is given by,
                           Pm = 3 Ebph x Iaph x cos (Ebph ^ Iaph)
i) For lagging p.f.,
            Ebph ^ Iaph = Φ - δ
ii) For leading p.f.,
             Ebph ^ Iaph = Φ + δ
iii) For unity p.f.,
              Ebph ^ Iaph  = δ
Note : While calculating angle between Ebph and Iaph from phasor diagram, it is necessary to reverse Ebph phasor. After reversing Ebph, as it is in opposition to Vph, angle between Ebph and Iaph must be determined.
       In general,
       Positive sign for leading p.f.
       Neglecting sign for lagging p.f.
       Net output of the motor then can be obtained by subtracting friction and windage i.e. mechanical losses from gross mechanical power developed.
...                      Pout = Pm - mechanical losses.
       where         Tshaft = Shaft torque available to load.
                          Pout = Power available to load
...     Overall efficiency = Pout/Pin

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...
