BASIC PRINCIPLE OF DC MOTOR:

The machine which converts de

The basic principle of a dc motor
is that when a current

IV. Synchronous motor

A Single phase induction motor is very similarto three phase squirrel cage induction motor
It has a squirrel cage rotor and single phase win7ding on stator
Unlike 3 phase induction motor ,a single phase induction motor is not self-starting but it require some
starting means
To make this motor self -starting a rotating magnetic field should be produced in the stator
This may achieved by converting a single phase supply in to two phase supply through the use of an
additional winding
When the motor reaches the sufficient speed the additional winding may be removed.
The single phase induction motors are classified according to the method employed to make them
self-starting

I n this motor the stator consist a main winding and a starting winding or auxiliary winding
The starting winding is located 90° electrical apart from main winding

starting winding has high resistance and low reactance


The
T h e main winding has high reactance and low resistance
As a result the current flowing through the two winding have a phase difference of 25° to 30
When a single phase supply is given to the stator a weak rotating magnetic field is produced
which start the motor (double field revolving theory)
When the motor reaches 75% of synchronous speed the starting winding is removed by

opening the centrifugal switch

A capacitor is connected in series with the starting winding
Here the phase difference between current through two winding is 80°,Consequently, startine
torque is higher than split phase motor
When the motor reaches 75% of synchronous speed the starting winding is removed
by
opening the centrifugal switch
The motor then operate single

NECESSITY OF STARTERS
The voltage equation of de motor is

Eb V-laRa

Where Eb is back emf

V is supply voltage

la is armature current

Ra is armature resistance

The armature resistance is very small (less than 12)

During the starting rotor is stationary and hence Eb ia zero

ie V-laRa =0

V =laRa

la = V/Ra

Since the armature resistance is too small armature current is become very large.

5 HP ,220v,20A dc shunt motor has armature resistance of 0.52, then at starting


For example, a

440 Amps. it is 20 times greater than rated


current.
Armature current la= 220/0.5
=

This leads the burning of armature


armature current should be limited during starting
To avoid this
The starters is used 10 limit the large starting current
Mainly used starters in dc motors are,

A. Two point starter


B. Three point starter
C. Four point starter

motor winding from fault and short circuit current.

The commonly used starts are

V. Stop button (Normally closed type push button)

OPERATION:
When the start button is pressed, the operating coil of electromagnetic contactor gets energised
I t closes the main contacts and auxiliary contact of
When we release the start button the coil circuit is maintained by the auxiliary contact through stop

button (that is why motor never stops when we release start button)
When the stop button is pressed the coil gets de-energised and opening all contacts including
auxiliary contact.
When a supply failure the coil also

gets de-energised.

I t is used in motors greater than 5 HP or 7 HP.
Its function is to limit the heavy starting current and
voltage drop during start1ing.
Its main parts are thermally overload relay ,TPST main switch and a TPDT switch

OPERATION
For limiting the starting current and voltage during starting, connect the motor winding in star
connection.
I t is done by using TPDT switch
In star connection,
Phase voltage = line voltage /N3

ie, phase voltage is only 58% of line voltage (1N3=0.58)


The current reduced to 33% of rated current
The torque is also reduced to 33%.
When the motor gets 75% of its rated speed switch the windings from Star to Delta connection by
using TPDT switch.
Now the motor run in rated speed and torque.
