Various AC Motor Types

  Various AC Motor Types  AC motors can be equipped with variable frequency drives , but the improved speed control comes with reduced power quality. Types of AC Motors: AC motors divided into three broad categories: ·          Induction   motor ·          Synchronous motor ·          Linear Motor.       1- Induction motor  Voltage is induced in the rotor, the magnetic field to allow for an induced voltage   Slip: Torque can only occur if the shading ring has an induce current. It is find by the current in the ring and exist if there’s flux variation.  S= (N syn – N m )/ N syn Synchronous speed (N syn ), shaded ring speed (N m ), “slip” (s) Slip control and operation of induction machines.  s = 0:   rotor run at synchronous speed.  s = 1:     rotor is stationary . ...
