Single Phase Induction Motor
A single phase induction motor is
widely used in
domestic
appliances and small machinery. It is an AC motor
that
operates on a single-phase power supply. It is simple in
design,
economical, and ideal for low-power applications.
Despite
its limitations compared to three-phase motors, it
remains
a go-to solution for many everyday devices.
Single Phase Induction Motor: Construction
and Working
The Single Phase induction motor consists
of:
Stator:
Creates a pulsating magnetic field.
Rotor:
Interacts with the field to produce
motion
(typically a squirrel-cage type).
Working Principle:
Since
a single-phase current cannot produce a
rotating
magnetic field by itself, an auxiliary
method
(like a capacitor) is used to start the
motor.
Once started, the rotor continues to
turn
under the influence of the magnetic field.

MEASURING INSTRUMENTS
•Absolute Measuring Instruments
These instruments give output in terms of physical constant
of the instruments. For example Rayleigh’s current balance
and Tangent galvanometer are absolute instruments.
•Secondary Measuring Instruments
These instruments are constructed with the help of absolute
instruments. Secondary instruments are calibrated by
comparison with absolute instruments. These are more
frequently used in measurement of the quantities as
compared to absolute instruments, as working with absolute
instruments is time consuming.
Indicating Instruments
It indicate the magnitude of an
electrical quantity at the time when it is
being measured. The indications are
given by a pointer moving over a
graduated dial.
Recording Instruments
The instruments which keep a
continuous record of the variations of the
magnitude of an electrical quantity to be
observed over a defined period of time.
Integrating Instruments
The instruments that measure the
total amount of either quantity of electricity
or electrical energy supplied over a period
of time. For example: Energy meters.
CLASSIFICATION OF SECONDARY INSTRUMENTS
Deflecting torque
Controlling Torque
Types of control system:
Spring control
Gravity control
Damping Torque
The damping torque is produced by
the following methods:
Air Friction Damping
Fluid Friction Damping
Eddy Current Damping
Air Friction Damping

ESSENTIALS OF INDICATING INSTRUMENTS
DC ONLY
BOTH AC & DC ONLY
PMMC
Principle of Operation:
When
a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it
experiences
a force and tends to move in the direction as per Fleming’s left
hand
rule.
Fleming left hand rule:
If
the first and the second finger and the thumb of the left hand are
held
so that they are at right angle to each other, then the thumb shows the
direction
of the force on the conductor, the first finger points towards the
direction
of the magnetic field and the second finger shows the direction of
the
current in the wire.

ENERGY METER
•Definition: The meter which
is used
for measuring the energy utilised by
the electric load is known as the
energy
meter
•It
is also known as watt-hour meter
•The energy is
the total
power consumed and
utilised by the load at
a particular interval of time
•Energy meters
are the basic part to measure the power consumption
•It
is used everywhere, no matter how big or small consumption it is.
•It
is used in
domestic
and industrial AC
circuit for measuring the power
consumption
•The
meter is less
expensive and accurate
CONSTRUCTION OF ENERGY METER
The energy meter has four main
parts. They are the
1.Driving System
2.Moving System
3.Braking System
4.Registering System
DRIVING SYSTEM
•The
components of this system are two silicon
steel
laminated electromagnets
•The
upper electromagnet is called shunt magnet
and
it carries a voltage coil consisting of many
turns
of thin wire
•The
lower electromagnet is called series magnet
and
it carries the two current coils consisting of a
few
turns of thick wire
•Current
coils are connected in series with the
circuit
and load current passes through it Where as
voltage
coil is connected to the supply mains and
produce
a high ratio of inductance to resistance
•There
is copper bands in the lower part of shunt
magnet
which provides frictional compensation so
that
the phase angle between shunt magnet flux
and
the supply voltage is exactly 90
o
MOVING SYSTEM
•there
is a thin aluminum disk placed in the gap between the two electromagnets and
mounted
on a vertical shaft
•The
eddy currents are induced in the aluminum disk when it cuts the flux produced by both
the
magnets
•As
a result of interference of eddy currents and two magnetic fields constitute a deflecting
torque
in the disk
•As
you start consuming power, the disk slowly starts rotating and the several rotation of the
disk
displays the power consumption in the particular interval of time
•Normally
it is measured in kilowatt-hours
BRAKING SYSTEM
•The
main part of this system is a permanent magnet called brake magnet
• It
is located near the disk so that eddy currents are induced in it due to movement of
rotating
disk through the magnetic field. This eddy current reacts with the flux and exerts a
braking
torque which opposes the motion of the disk.
•The
speed of the disk can be controlled by changing flux.
REGISTERING SYSTEM
•it
registers the number of rotation of the disk which is proportional to
the
energy consumed directly in kilowatt-hour
•There
is a disk spindle which is driven by a gear on the disk shaft and
indicates
the number of times the disk has turned
•The
rotation of the disc is transmitted to the pointers of the different
dial
for recording the different readings. The reading in kWh is obtained
by
multiplying the number of rotations of the disc with the meter
constant
WORKING PRINCIPLE OF ENERGY METER
The
working of single phase induction type energy meters are based on two main fundamentals:
Rotation
of aluminum disk
Arrangement
of counting and displaying the amount of energy consumed
Rotation of aluminum disk
•The
rotation of metallic disk is operated by two coils.
•Both
the coils are arranged in such way that one coil produces a
magnetic
field in proportion to voltage and the other coil creates a
magnetic
field proportion to current
•The
field produced by voltage coil is delayed by 90
o
so that eddy
current
is induced in the disk. The force exerted on the disk by the
two
fields is proportional to the product of the immediate current
and
voltage in the coils.
•As
a result of it, a liGHT weight aluminum disk rotates in an air gap.
But
there is a need to stop a disk when there is no power supply.
•A
permanent magnet works as a brake which opposes the rotation
of
the disk and balances the speed of rotation with respect to power
consumption.
Arrangement of counting and displaying the
amount of energy consumed
•In
this system, the rotation of the floating disk has been
counted
and then displayed on the meter window.
•The
aluminum disk is connected to a spindle which has a gear.
This
gear drives the register and the revolution of the disk has
been
counted and displayed on the register which has series
of
dials and each dial represent a single digit.
•There
is a small display window in the front of the meter
which
displays the reading of energy consumed with the help
of
dials.
