Electric Machine Design : Concepts - 5

INDUCTION MOTOR :

kVA input = Q = (11 kω . Bav x 80-3) D2 Lns = Co D2 Lns.

Main Dimensions of Induction Motor :

Design criteriaLength to Pole pitch ratio, τ
Good power factor1 to 1.25
Best power factorτ = √18 L
Minimum cost1.5 to 2
Good efficiency1.5
Good overall design1.0

 

Peripheral speed of Induction Motor:

For normal design of motors a limiting value of peripheral speed as 30 m/s is used. However, standard constructions have speeds up to 60 m/s and in very special cases up to 75 m/s.

Ventilating ducts in Induction Motor:

The radial ventilating ducts of 8 to 10 mm are provided after each stack of 10 cm core length.

Stator windings in Induction Motor:

Turns per phase,

Ts = E/ (4.44 f φm k ωm)

current density of 3 to 5 A/mm2 is generally used.

For diameters up to 3 mm round SWG conductors are used with proper insulation. For larger machines bar or strip conductors are used.

Stator slots in Induction Motor:

For smaller machines up to 20 kW, 600 V and diameter less than 40 cm, semi-closed slots are used. For higher ratings, open type slots with insulation wedge are used. Use of semi-closed slots gives low air gap contraction factor, low value of magnetizing current low tooth pulsation losses and quieter operation as compared to open slots.

For Ss = number of stator slots

Slot pitch, yss = Gap surface / Total number o stator slots = π D / Ss

Total number of stator conductors = 3 x 2 x Ts = 6 Ts

Hence conductors per stator slot = Zss= 6 Ts / S s

Rotor design of Induction Motor:

Air gap length depends on:
(i) Power factor,
(ii) Overload capacity,
(iii) Unbalanced magnetic pull,
(iv) Pulsation loss,
(v) Noise.

For small motors, any one of the following relation is used for air gap length :'

lg = ( 0.2 + 2 √ ( DL))mm


lg= (0.125 + 0.35D + L + 0.015 Va)mm

lg = (0.2 + D) mm

where,

D = inner diameter of stator in meters
L = length of stator in meters
Va = peripheral speed, m/s.

 Squirrel Cage Rotor Design:

Rules for number of rotor slots:

The number of rotor slots Sr in comparison with number of stator slots Sa, is given by
(i) Sr = (1.15 to 1.30) Ss
(ii) To avoid Synchronous Cusps

Ss - Sr != ± p ± 2p or ± 5p;

(iii) To avoid magnetic locking in 3 phase motor,
S- Sr != ± 3p;

(iv) To avoid noise and vibrations,
S- Sr != 1,2, (p ±1 ) or (p ±2).

Rotor bar current for 3 phase machine is given by

I= 0.85 (( 6 Ib Ts) / Sr )

where Is, is stator current.

Skewing in Induction Motor:

In order to eliminate the effect of any harmonic, the rotor bars are. skewed in such a way that the bars lie under alternate poles of the same polarity.

To eliminate nth harmonic, the angle of skew will be

Q = 720 / (n x p) degrees mechanical.

In practice the rotor is skewed through one stator slot pitch.

Area of end rings in Induction Motor:

The area of end ring,

ar = ( Sr Ib ) / (π p δ c ) mm2

Slip in Induction Motor:

The value of full load slip s is determined by rotor copper loss. Some typical values are given below:

Design of wound rotor:

No. of turns per phase on rotor,

Tr = k ω/ k ω. Er / Es. Ts

where,
k ωs = winding factor for stator ,
k ωr = winding factor for rotor,
Es = voltage per phase applied to stator,
Er = voltage per phase induced in rotor at stand still,
Ts = number of turns per phase on stator.

Minimum tooth width = Flux per pole / (Max. allowable flux density x Slots per pole x Net iron length)



Rotor core depth = φm/ 2 - Bcr x L2
