Introduction
Induction Motors transform electrical energy into mechanical energy.
Induction motors are popularly used in the industry, in fact, 90% of industrial motors
are induction motors.
By induction motor, we mean that the stator windings induces a current which flow in
the rotor conductors, like a transformer.
Induction motors are used worldwide in many residential, commercial, industrial, and
utility applications. It can be part of a pump or fan, or connected to some other form
of mechanical equipment such as a winder, conveyor, or mixer.

Working Principle of 3 Phase Induction Motor
When three phase supply is given to the three phase stator winding of the induction
motor, a rotating magnetic field is developed around the stator which rotates at syn-
chronous speed.
This rotating magnetic field passes through the air gap and cuts the rotor conductors
which were stationary.
Due to the relative speed between the stationary rotor conductors and the rotating
magnetic field, an emf is induced in the rotor conductors.
As the rotor conductors are short circuited, current starts flowing through it.
As these current carrying rotor conductors are placed in the magnetic field produced
by the stator, they experiences a mechanical force i.e. torque which moves the rotor in
the same direction as that of the rotating magnetic field.

Induction Motor Speed
At what speed will the induction motor run?
Can the induction motor run at the synchronous speed, why?
If rotor runs at the synchronous speed, which is the same speed of the rotating magnetic
field, then the rotor will appear stationary to the rotating magnetic field and the
rotating magnetic field will not cut the rotor. So, no induced current will flow in the
rotor and no rotor magnetic flux will be produced so no torque is generated and the
rotor speed will fall below the synchronous speed.
When the speed falls, the rotating magnetic field will cut the rotor windings and a
torque is produced.
The induction motor will always run at a speed lower than the synchronous speed.

Induction Motors and Transformers
Both induction motor and transformer works on the principle of induced voltage.
Transformer: voltage applied to the primary windings produce an induced voltage in
the secondary windings.
Induction motor: voltage applied to the stator windings produce an induced voltage in
the rotor windings.
The difference is that, in the case of the induction motor, the secondary windings can
move.
Due to the rotation of the rotor (the secondary winding of the IM), the induced voltage
in it does not have the same frequency of the stator (the primary) voltage.

In general, the greater the relative motion between the rotor and the stator magnetic

In the induction machine, because of its air gap, the exciting currentIϕis high of the
order of 30 to 50 % of the full-load current. The leakage reactanceX1is also high.
The IEEE recommends that in such a situation, the magnetizing reactanceXMnot be

The resistance Rc is however omitted and the core loss is lumped with the windage

1
The induced torque is zero at synchronous speed.
2
The curve is nearly linear between no-load and full load. In this range, the rotor
resistance is much greater than the reactance, so the rotor current, torque increase
linearly with the slip.
3
There is a maximum possible torque that can’t be exceeded. This torque is called
pullout torque or breakdown torque, and is 2 to 3 times the rated full-load torque.
4
The starting torque of the motor is slightly higher than its full-load torque, so the
motor will start carrying any load it can supply at full load.
5
The torque of the motor for a given slip varies as the square of the applied voltage.
6
If the rotor is driven faster than synchronous speed it will run as a generator, converting
mechanical power to electrical power.

Computation and circle diagram
Results Obtainable from Circle Diagram
Let us assume that the motor is drawing a current ofI1ampere at any load.
Draw an arc with radiusOL=I1with O as its centre.
From L, draw a line LM parallel to y-axis, as shown in Fig. 9 which intersects various
lines at points N,K and J.
Then
JM represents fixed losses, JK as stator copper loss,
KN as rotor copper loss, KL as rotor input,
NL as rotor output and LM as total motor input.

Maximum input power:
centre of circle C. It intersects the circle at D and the x-axis at Z.
The point D where the tangent to the circle is horizontal represents the maximum
input power which is proportional to DZ, such that
Maximum power= 3V(DZ)watt.
But the motor will be unstable here since the point D occur beyond the point of
maximum torque U.
However, maximum input indicates the ability of the motor to carry short time over
loads.Usually, the maximum input power is 2 to 3 times the rated power.
