Slip of Induction Motor

When have seen that rotor rotates in the same direction as that of R.M.F. but in steady state attains a speed less than the synchronous speed. The difference between the two speeds i.e. synchronous speed of R.M.F. ( Ns ) and rotor speed (N) is called slip speed. This slip speed is generally expressed as the percentage of the synchronous speed.
       So slip of the induction motor is defined as the difference between the synchronous speed ( Ns) and actual speed of rotor i.e. motor (N) expressed as a friction of the synchronous speed ( Ns ). This is also called absolute slip or fractional slip and is denoted as 's'.
        Thus 


       The percentage slip is expressed as,

       In terms of slip, the actual speed of motor (N) can be expressed as,

        At start, motor is at rest and hence its speed N is zero.

       This is maximum value of slip s possible for induction motor which occurs at start. While s = 0 given us N = Ns which is not possible for an induction motor. So slip of induction motor can not be zero under any circumstances.
       Practically motor operates in the slip range of 0.01 to 0.05 i.e. 1 % to 5 %. The slip corresponding to full load speed of th motor is called full load slip.
Example 1 : A 4 pole, 3 phase induction motor is supplied from Hz supply. Determine its synchronous speed. On full load, its speed is observed to be 1410  r.p.m. calculate its full load slip.
Solution : Given values are,
                              P = 4,            f = 50 Hz ,               N = 1410 r.p.m.
                             Ns = 120f / P = 120 x 50 / 4 = 1500 r.p.m.
       Full load absolute slip is given by,
                             s = ( Ns - N)/ V2 = (1500-1410 )/ 1500 = 0.06
...                            %s = 0.06 x 100 = 6 %

Example 2 : A 4 pole, 3 phase, 50 Hz, star connected induction motor has a full load slip of 4 %. Calculate full load speed of the motor.
Solution : Given values are,
                                 P = 4,           f = 50 Hz,                % sfl = 4%
                                 sfl = Full load absolute slip = 0.04
                                  Ns = 120f  / P = 120 x 50 / 4 = 1500 r.p.m.
                                   sfl = (Ns - Nfl ) / Ns =  where   =  full load speed of motor
...                                 0.04 = (1500 - Nfl )/ 1500
...                                  Nfl = 1440 r.p.m.

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...
