Squirrel cage induction motor Working Principle

 

 

When a 3 phase supply is given to the stator winding it sets up a rotating magnetic field in space. This rotating magnetic field has a speed which is known as the synchronous speed.
This rotating magnetic field induces the voltage in rotor bars and hence short-circuit currents start flowing in the rotor bars. These rotor currents generate their self-magnetic field which will interact with the field of the stator. Now the rotor field will try to oppose its cause, and hence rotor starts following the rotating magnetic field.
The moment rotor catches the rotating magnetic field the rotor current drops to zero as there is no more relative motion between the rotating magnetic field and rotor. Hence, at that moment the rotor experiences zero tangential force hence the rotor decelerates for the moment.
After deceleration of the rotor, the relative motion between the rotor and the rotating magnetic field reestablishes hence rotor current again being induced. So again, the tangential force for rotation of the rotor is restored, and therefore again the rotor starts following rotating magnetic field, and in this way, the rotor maintains a constant speed which is just less than the speed of rotating magnetic field or synchronous speed.
Slip measures the speed difference between the rotating magnetic field and the rotor. The rotor current frequency equals the slip multiplied by the supply frequency.

 

Squirrel cage induction motor Construction

Stator
It consists of a 3 phase winding with a core and metal housing. Windings are such placed that they are electrically and mechanically 120o apart from in space. The winding is mounted on the laminated iron core to provide low reluctance path for generated flux by AC currents.
Rotor
It is the part of the motor which will be in a rotation to give mechanical output for a given amount of electrical energy. The rated output of the motor is mentioned on the nameplate in horsepower. It consists of a shaft, short-circuited copper/aluminum bars, and a core.
The rotor core is laminated to avoid power loss from eddy currents and hysteresis. Conductors are skewed to prevent cogging during starting operation and gives better transformation ratio between stator and rotor.
Fan
A fan is attached to the back side of the rotor to provide heat exchange, and hence it maintains the temperature of the motor under a limit.
Bearings
Bearings are provided as the base for rotor motion, and the bearings keep the smooth rotation of the motor.

Factors to Consider When Selecting a Cage Induction Motor

High Speed Motor
High Voltage Slip Ring Motor
High Voltage Cage AC Motor

Motor capacity
The capacity of the motor must be able to drive the load and run for a long period of time without overheating at the various speed points required by the production process.
The motor capacity and starting torque must be greater than the power and starting torque required by the load.
In the case of a 10% to 15% drop in supply voltage, the torque can still meet the needs of the start or operation.
If the motor does not work continuously for a long time each time at the lowest frequency, the original motor can be retained; on the contrary, the capacity of the motor should be increased by one stop.
Number of pole pairs
The number of magnetic pole pairs of the motor is generally determined by the production process and not easily changed.
General inverter is designed and manufactured for 4-pole (2p=4 poles) motors. Therefore, when the motor is not 4-pole, the capacity of the inverter must be calibrated with current.
Operating frequency range
The operating frequency range of the motor should include the load requirements on the speed range.
Certain general-purpose inverters have unsatisfactory low-speed operating characteristics, so the higher the minimum frequency of speed, the better.
When using a frequency above the industrial frequency, it is important to verify that it is within the maximum permissible frequency range of the motor.
Heat dissipation capability
When an inverter is used, the heat dissipation capability of the motor deteriorates at low speed operation. Therefore, it may be necessary to set a constant-speed cooling fan to improve heat dissipation during continuous operation below the rated speed.
Load type
Select the appropriate motor model according to the type and characteristics of the actual load.
Power factor
The power factor of induction motors is generally between 0.8 and 0.9. If the power factor of the load is low, it is necessary to choose a larger capacity motor.
Overload capacity
Induction motors have a certain overload capacity, but the overload time should not be too long. It is necessary to choose a motor with strong overload capacity to cope with unexpected conditions.
Structural characteristics
The structure of cage induction motor is relatively simple, the manufacturing cost is low and the maintenance is relatively simple. However, it is necessary to choose the suitable structure according to the specific application.
Usage scenarios
Cage induction motors are widely used in various industrial fields, such as petroleum, chemical industry, iron and steel, electric power and so on. It is necessary to choose the suitable motor according to the specific application scenario.
