ELECTRICAL MACHINE An electrical machine deals with the energy transfer either from mechanical to electrical form or from electrical to mechanical form. This process is called electromechanical Energy Conversion Electrical machine which converts mechanical energy in to electrical energy is called an electric generator. Electrical machine which Converts Electrical Energy in to mechanical energy is called motor. Electrical machines are broadly classified as, AC machines DC machines
Construction of DC Machine
Parts of Construction of DC Machine 1 Yoke a) Functions : Outermost cover of the DC machine which protects the machine from harmful atmospheric elements like moisture, dust and various gases like SO2, acidic fumes etc. It provides mechanical support to the poles. It forms a part of the magnetic circuit and provides a path of low reluctance for magnetic flux. b) Choice of Material : Cast iron, rolled steel, cast steel, silicon steel are used which provides high permeability i.e. low reluctance and gives good mechanical strength.
Construction of DC Machine 2 Poles Pole is divided into two parts namely, i ) Pole core and ii) Pole shoe a) Functions of pole core and pole shoe: Pole core carries field winding which is necessary to produce the flux. It directs the flux produced through air gap to armature core. Pole shoe enlarges the area of armature core for maximizing the flux in the airgap, which is necessary to produce large induced emf . b) Choice of Material : It is made up of magnetic material like cast iron or cast steel. As it requires a definite shape and size, laminated construction is used. The laminations of required size and shape are stamped together to get a pole which is then bolted to the yoke.
Construction of DC Machine 3 Field Winding (F1-F2) The field winding is wound on the pole core with a definite direction. a) Functions : To carry current due to which pole core, on which the field winding is placed, behaves as an electromagnet, producing necessary flux. it is called Field winding or Exciting winding. b) Choice of material : A luminium or copper is the choice. But field coils are required to take any type of shape and bend about pole core and copper has good pliability i.e. it can bend easily. So copper is the proper choice. 4 Armature It is divided into two parts namely, Armature core and Armature winding
Construction of DC Machine i ) Armature core : Armature core is cylindrical in shape mounted on the shaft. It consists of slots on its periphery and the air ducts to permit the air flow through armature for cooling. a) Functions : Armature core provides house for armature winding i.e. armature conductors. To provide a path of low reluctance to the magnetic flux produced by the field winding. b) Choice of Material : As it has to provide a low reluctance path to the flux, it is made up of magnetic material like cast iron or cast steel. It is made up of laminated construction to keep eddy current loss as low as possible.
Construction of DC Machine ii) Armature winding : The interconnection of the armature conductors, placed in the slots provided on the armature core periphery. When the armature is rotated, in case of generator, magnetic flux gets cut by armature conductors and e.m.f . gets induced in them. a) Functions : Generation of e.m.f takes place in the armature winding in case of generators. To carry the current supplied in case of d.c. motors. To do the useful work in the external circuit. b) Choice of material : it has to be made up of conducting material, carries large current. Made of copper. Armature winding is generally former wound. The conductors are placed in the armature slots which are lined with tough insulating material.
Principle of Operation of a DC machine as Generator Faraday’s law of Electromagnetic Induction: Whenever the flux linking with a conductor or a coil changes, an electromotive force is set up in that conductor. The change in flux can exist only when there is a relative motion between the conductor and the flux. The relative motion can be achieved by rotating the conductor w.r.t flux or by rotating flux w.r.t conductor. Voltage gets generated in a conductor as long as there exist a relative motion between the conductor and flux.
Fleming’s Right Hand Rule If three fingers of right hand, namely thumb, index finger and middle finger are outstretched so that everyone of them is at right angles with the remaining two. If index finger is made to point in the direction of lines of flux, thumb in the direction of the relative motion of the conductor then middle finger gives the direction of emf induced in the conductor . Magnitude of emf is , E= Blv
Types of DC Generator Separately Excited DC Generator If the field winding is excited by separate DC supply, then the generator is called separately excited DC generator. Armature current Ia = Load current IL Terminal Voltage ,V = Eg – Ia Ra –V brush Generated Voltage Eg = V+IaRa+Vbrush Electric Power developed = Eg * Ia Power Delivered to load = VIa
Types of DC Generator Self Excited DC Generator Field winding is supplied from the armature of the generator itself. Residual flux is present in the poles. When armature is rotated, a small emf is produced in the armature winding because of residual flux. This emf produces a small current in the field winding and hence flux pole increases. Increased flux increases the induced emf , which further increases the flux. Process is cumulative and generator reaches its rated voltage

DC MOTORS
DC MOTOR- Principle of Operation Converts Electrical Energy in to mechanical energy. When a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetics field, it experiences a mechanical force. Field winding produces the required magnetic field and armature conductor plays a role of current carrying conductor. As the conductors are placed in the periphery of the armature, Individual force experienced by the conductor acts as a twisting and turning force on the armature , called torque. Torque is a product of force and the radius at which the force acts . So armature experiences a torque and starts rotating.

Back EMF When the armature of a d.c motor rotates under the influence of the driving torque, the armature conductors move through the magnetic field and hence an e.m.f . is induced in them.

STEPPER MOTORS A stepper motor is a brushless DC motor whose rotor rotates in a discrete angular displacements when its stator windings are energized in a programmed manner. Rotation occurs due to the rotor poles and poles of sequentially energized stator winding. Rotor has no electrical winding but has salient and magnetized poles.

Single Stack Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor- Electrical Connection Phase ‘a’ consists of coil A and coil A’ Phase ‘b’ consists of coil B and coil B’ Phase ‘c’ consists of coil C and coil C’
Principle of Operation-Mode-I
Mode 1: 1-phase ON or Full-step Operation One phase is energized at a time If a current is applied to coils of phase ‘a’ , phase ‘a’ gets excited, the reluctance torque causes the rotor to turn until it aligns with the axis of ‘a’. The axis of rotor poles 1 and 3 are in alignment with the axis of stator poles A and A’. That is ∟ =0 The magnetic reluctance is minimized and this state provides a rest or equilibrium position to the rotor and rotor cannot move until phase ‘a’ is de –energized. Phase ‘b’ is energized by turning ON the semiconductor switch S2 and phase ‘a’ is de-energized by turning OFF the switch S1 Then the rotor poles 1,3 an d 2,4 experience torque in opposite direction. When the stator and rotor teeth are not aligned in the excited phase, the magnetic reluctance is large.
Torque experienced in 1 and 3 are in clock wise direction and 2,4 are in anti clockwise direction. Later is more than the former. As a result, the rotor makes an angular displacement of 30⁰ in counter clockwise direction so that B,B’ and 2,4 are in alignment. Phases are excited in sequence a, b, c . The rotor turns with a step of 30⁰ in counter clockwise direction. The direction of rotation can be reversed by reversing the switching sequence of the phases. ie . The direction of rotation depends on the sequence in which phase windings energized and is independent of the direction of currents through the phase windings.

Brushless DC Motor Many of the limitations of the classic permanent magnet "brushed" DC motor are caused by the brushes pressing against the rotating commutator creating friction As the motor speed is increased, brushes may not remain in contact with the rotating commutator At higher speeds, brushes have increasing difficulty in maintaining contact Sparks and electric noise may be created as the brushes encounter flaws in the commutator surface or as the commutator is moving away from the just energized rotor segment Brushes eventually wear out and require replacement, and the commutator itself is subject to wear and maintenance Brushless DC motors avoid these problems with a modified design, but require a more complex control system

Commutation in DC motors Mechanical Commutator Electronic Commutator
Mechanical Commutator Commutator is made up of specially designed commutator segments, made of copper. These segments are insulated from each other by a thin layer of mica. It forms a cylindrical shape.
Mechanical Commutator
It consists of 2 pole machine with 12 commutator segments. Carbon brush A contacts with CS 1 and brush B contacts with CS 7. When a dc supply is connected across A & B, a dc current passes through A-CS1-tapping1- tapping 7-CS 7 and through B. The current has 2 parallel path in the armature winding. Parallel path 1= 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 Parallel path 2=1-12-11-10-9-8-7
The current crossing through the armature conductor setup an mmf along the axis A and B. The commutator rotates along the counter clockwise direction, now the brush A makes contact with CS2 and brush B with CS 8. Now there are two parallel path 1 is 2-8 & parallel path 2 is 2-1-12-11-10-9-8. Function of commutator and bush arrangement is to setup an armature mmf whose axis is always in quadrature with the main field mmf irrespective of the speed of rotation of the motor.

There is no sparking It requires a regular maintenance It requires less maintenance. Number of commutator segments are very high. Number of switching devices is limited to 6. Difficult to control the voltage available across tapping Voltage available across armature tappings can be controlled by PWM techniques. Highly reliable Reliability depends on the switching devices.

Construction of three phase Induction motor The Induction motor has two main parts.- Stator Rotor EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Stator: Made up of a number of stampings with alternate slots and tooth. Stampings are insulated from each other Stampings are 0.4-0.5mm thick. Number of stampings are stamped together to build the stator core. Stator core is then fitted in a casted or fabricated steel frame. Slots houses the three phase winding called stator winding (connected either in star or delta) EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Rotor: There are two types of rotors. Squirrel cage type Slip ring type Squirrel cage type: Made up of a cylindrical laminated core with slots to carry the rotor conductors. Rotor conductors are heavy bars of copper or Aluminum, short circuited at both ends by end rings. Hence this rotor is called a short circuited rotor. The entire rotor resistance is very small and external resistance cannot be added in the rotor circuit. Majority of IM are squirrel cage type EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Slip Ring or Wound rotor Rotor winding are similar to stator winding. The windings are either star or delta connected, distributed winding, wound for as many number of poles as stator is wound for. Three phases are brought out and connected to slip rings. Variable external resistance can be connected in the rotor circuit with the help of brushes and slip ring arrangement. By varying the external resistance in the rotor circuit, the motor speed and torque can be controlled. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Types and Principle of operation –Three phase IM There are two types of three phase induction motor. Squirrel cage Induction motor Wound rotor or slip ring induction motor. Principle of operation: Three phase supply is given to the stator winding, and due to this a current called the stator current flows through the stator winding. It produces a rotating magnetic field in space between stator and rotor and this magnetic field rotates at a synchronous speed given by, Where, is the synchronous speed, f-frequency and P-no of poles EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Since the rotor conductors cuts the rotating magnetic field, an emf is induced in the rotor. If the rotor winding are shorted (Cage rotor they are already shorted, and in slip ring motor, they have to be externally shorted), then the induced emf produces current. This current produces a rotor field (rotor mmf ) The interaction of rotor field and stator field develops torque. Thus the rotor conductor rotates in the same direction as the rotating magnetic field. When the rotor is at standstill, the frequency of rotor emf is equal to the supply frequency. Rotors tries to catch up with the rotating magnetic field. However, it cannot catch up and rotate at synchronous speed. In case if it does so, the relative speed would become zero and then there is no rotor emf, no current and hence no torque . Hence rotor runs at a speed slightly less than the synchronous speed. Since the rotor speed is always less than synchronous speed, IM are called asynchronous motors. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
The difference between synchronous speed and rotor speed is called slip speed. Slip speed = -N Slip, s = N= (1-S) %slip = *100 At no-load, the difference between synchronous speed and rotor speed is only about 1% At loaded condition, the rotor slows down, emf induced in the rotor and hence rotor current increases. Hence torque increases, The variation of speed from no-load to full load is very small. Thus three phase induction motor is called constant speed motor. Variation of load is possible, but efficiency reduces. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Frequency of Rotor Current or emf When the rotor is stationary, the relative speed between the rotor winding and rotating magnetic field is .Hence, the frequency of emf induced and the resultant current is (same as supply frequency) As the rotor speeds up, the relative speed is ( -N) and hence, rotor frequency = - [1] Since slip , s = ( -N) =s =s* Substituting in [1], Rotor frequency, = s* * = sf . Thus, the frequency of rotor induced emf in an IM is equal to the product of slip and supply frequency (Slip frequency) EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Single phase Induction motor Single-phase induction motors are usually two-pole or four-pole, rated at 2 hp or less, while larger motor can be manufactured for special purposes. They are widely used in domestic appliances and for a very large number of low power drives in industry. The single phase induction motor resembles, three-phase, squirrel-cage motor except that, single phase induction motor has no starting torque and some special arrangement have to be made to make it self starting. They are simple in construction. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Construction of Single phase Induction motor Consists of stator and rotor and Construction is similar to that of three phase squirrel cage IM Rotor is same as three phase squirrel cage IM, but the stator has only a single phase distributed windings. Airgap between stator and rotor is uniform. Single phase induction motor has no self starting torque . It can be explained using the following two theory: Double Field revolving theory Cross field theory EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Double field revolving theory Any Alternating quantity can be resolved in to two components, which rotate in opposite directions and have half of the maximum magnitude. Therefore, the alternating flux produced in the single phase Induction motor can be represented by two revolving fluxes, each equal to half the value of the alternating flux ( each rotating synchronously ( ) in opposite directions. Let is the component rotating in anticlockwise direction and be the component rotating in clockwise direction. The resultant of these two components gives the instantaneous value of the stator flux at that instant. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
At start, both forward and backward component is shown opposite to each other. Thus the resultant fux , =0 (Instantaneous flux at start). After 90 degrees, the two components rotates in such a way that both are pointing in the same direction. Hence is the algebraic sum of the magnitude of two components Therefore, = + = ( Instantaneous value of flux at 90degree. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Both the components are rotating and hence cut by the rotor conductors. Due to cutting of flux, emf gets induced in the rotor , which circulates the rotor current, which produces the rotor flux. This flux interact with the forward component produces a torque in a direction say anti clockwise direction. Rotor flux interacts with the backward component produces a torque in clockwise direction. If torque in anticlockwise direction is positive and clockwise direction is taken as negative. At start, these two torques are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction and hence the net torque experienced by the conductor is zero. Hence single phase motors are not self starting. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Operation of Single phase Induction motor The stator winding of a single phase IM is connected to single phase ac supply. Magnetic field is developed in the stator whose axis is always along the axis of stator winding. With alternating current in the fixed stator coil the mmf wave pulsates in magnitude and varies sinusoidally with time. Due to the transformer action, currents are induced in the rotor conductors, and rotor flux is produced. Interaction of stator flux and rotor flux, torque is produced. In the single phase IM the initial torque angle is zero and no starting torque is developed in the motor. If rotor given a starting torque, the motor will pick up the speed and continue to rotate in the same direction. Thus single phase IM is not a self starting motor. Starting torque can be produced by external means. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Starting of Single phase Induction motor. An auxiliary winding is provided in addition to the main winding. Induction motor works as a two phase motor. The main winding axis and auxiliary winding axis are displaced by 90 electrical degrees. The impedance of the windings differ and currents in the main an auxiliary windings are phase shifted from each other. As a result of this a rotating magnetic field is produced. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
S tarting winding When the motor speed is about 75% of synchronous speed, the auxiliary winding is disconnected from the circuit. This is done by connecting a centrifugal switch in the winding, which is used for starting purpose only. That is why its called starting winding. Under running condition, a single phase IM can develop torque only with main winding. That is why its called running winding. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Types of Single-Phase Motors Types of Single-Phase Motors are, ( i )Resistance start or split-phase type induction motor (ii) capacitor start induction motor (iii) capacitor start capacitor run type induction motor (iv) shaded-pole type induction motor EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Resistance start or split-phase type induction motor Consists of running /main winding and auxiliary winding or starting winding. The auxiliary winding has high resistance and low reactance and main winding has low resistance and high reactance. I r is the current in running winding and I s is the current through starting winding. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
As the main winding is inductive, current I r lags the voltage by a large angle while I s lags the voltage by a small angle since it is highly resistive. Thus there exists a phase difference of α between the two currents and hence between the two fluxes produced by the two currents. The resultant of these two flux is a rotating a magnetic field, due to which the starting torque, which acts in only one direction is produced. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
C entrifugal switch The auxiliary winding has a centrifugal switch in series with it. When the motor gathers the speed of about 75-80% of the synchronous speed, this switch gets opened and running winding gets disconnected. After that motor runs only with the main winding. Therefore, the auxiliary winding is designed for short term use, while the main winding is designed for continuous use.
Since the currents, I s and I r are splitted by each other by an angle ‘ α ‘ at start, the motor is also called as split phase motor. Torque speed characteristics is shown below. The starting torque, Tst is proportional to the split angle ‘ α ‘ EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Split phase motor give a starting torque of 125%-150% full load torque. The direction of rotation can be reversed by reversing the terminal of either main or auxiliary winding. Applications: Since they have low starting current and moderate starting torque, they are used in easily started loads like Fans, blowers, grinders, centrifugal pumps, washing machines etc. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Capacitor start Induction motor Construction is similar to the split phase machine. A capacitor is connected in series with the auxiliary winding. Since capacitive circuit draws a leading current, capacitor is used to increase the split phase angle ‘ α ’ between the two currents Im and Is. Depending on whether the capacitor remains in the circuit permanently or not, these motors can be classified in to two types. Capacitor start motor Capacitor start and run motor. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Capacitor Start Induction motor Construction is as shown below. The current Ir lags the voltage by and angle , while due to the capacitor current I st leads the voltage by an angle . Hence there exists a large phase difference between the two currents, which is almost 90⁰ (ideal case) Starting torque is proportional to α and hence such motor produce very high starting torque. When speed approaches to 75%-80% of the synchronous speed, the starting winding gets disconnected, and hence the capacitor remains in the circuit only at starting. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Capacitor Start Capacitor Run Induction motor EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1 No centrifugal switch and Capacitor remains permanently in the circuit. Hence, Power factor is improved. Performance at start as well as during running condition depends on the capacitor, hence the value of C is to be designed so as to compromise between starting and best running condition. Starting torque available in such motors are about 50-100% of full load torque.
Shaded pole Induction motor They have squirrel cage rotor and stator consists of salient poles. The poles are shaded. Each pole carries a copper band on one of its unequally divided part called shading band. When single phase ac is given to the stator winding, due to the shading provided to the poles, a rotating magnetic field is generated. The current carried by the stator winding is alternating and produces alternating flux. The distribution of this flux in the pole is greatly influenced by the copper shading band. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Consider three instants t1,t2 and t3 during first half cycle of the flux. At t1, rate of rise of current , flux is very high. Due to the transformer action, large emf gets induced in the copper shading band. This circulates current through the shading band as it is short circuited, produces its own flux. According to Lenz’s law, the direction of this current is so as to oppose the rise in current. Hence shading flux opposes the main flux. Hence crowding of flux in non-shaded part while weakening of flux in the shaded part. Overall the magnetic axis shifts in the non-shaded part. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
At the instant t2, rate of rise of current, and hence rate of change of flux is almost zero, since flux almost reaches its maxium value. So =0. Hence there is very little induced emf in the shading ring , hence shading ring flux is negligible, hardly effecting the distribution of main flux. Hence main flux distribution is uniform and magnetic axis lies at the center of the pole face. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
At t3,current and flux is decreasing, crowding of flux near the shading band, hence strengthen the flux at the shaded portion. Flux will be weak at the unshaded portion. Torque speed characteristics of shaded pole motor is as shown below. EE8353 Electrical Drives and Controls 1
Disadvantages Lack of starting torque Reduced power factor Low efficiency.
Comparison between Brushless DC motor & Induction motor drives In the same frame, with the same cooling, the brushless PM motor will have better efficiency and power factor, and therefore a greater output power. The power electronic converter required with the brushless motor is similar in topology to the PWM inverters used in induction motor drives. The device ratings maybe lower if only a 'constant torque' characteristic is required. Induction motor can be inexpensively controlled with Triacs or d.c. system in efficiency, stability, response, and controlled speed range. To obtain comparable performance in the control sense, the induction motor must be fed from a PWM inverter, which is arguably more complex than the brushless PM motor drive.
