K Direct Torque Control of Induction Motor Using Space

... The simplest way to start a three-phase induction motor is to connect its terminals to the line. In an induction motor, the magnitude of the induced EMF in the rotor circuit is proportional to the stator field and the slip speed (the difference between synchronous and rotor speeds) of the motor, and ...

... Its three-phase stator is typical of any induction machine and is usually connected directly to the power system, usually a medium voltage source such as 2.3kV, 4.16kV, or 6.6kV. The rotor also has a three-phase winding, usually connected in a wye (or star) circuit. The three terminals of the rotor ...

... The armature mmf distorts the flux density distribution (cross magnetizing effect) and also produces the demagnetizing effect. This is called armature reaction. The armature reaction causes poor commutation leading to sparking, especially when the armature current changes rapidly. To overcome this d ...

... Yet today, since the manufacturing development of carbonic conductors is still at laboratory scale, in practice, the conductivity of CNT yarn conductors is still at a modest level; that is 3.4 MS/m, which is in the range of construction steels’ conductivities. However, poorer conductive steel can be ...

Commutator (electric)



A commutator is the moving part of a rotary electrical switch in certain types of electric motors and electrical generators that periodically reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit. It consists of a cylinder composed of multiple metal contact segments on the rotating armature of the machine. The commutator is one component of a motor; there are also two or more stationary electrical contacts called ""brushes"" made of a soft conductor like carbon press against the commutator, making sliding contact with successive segments of the commutator as it rotates. The windings (coils of wire) on the armature are connected to the commutator segments. Commutators are used in direct current (DC) machines: dynamos (DC generators) and many DC motors as well as universal motors. In a motor the commutator applies electric current to the windings. By reversing the current direction in the rotating windings each half turn, a steady rotating force (torque) is produced. In a generator the commutator picks off the current generated in the windings, reversing the direction of the current with each half turn, serving as a mechanical rectifier to convert the alternating current from the windings to unidirectional direct current in the external load circuit. The first direct current commutator-type machine, the dynamo, was built by Hippolyte Pixii in 1832, based on a suggestion by André-Marie Ampère. Commutators are relatively inefficient, and also require periodic maintenance such as brush replacement. Therefore, commutated machines are declining in use, being replaced by alternating current (AC) machines, and in recent years by brushless DC motors which use semiconductor switches.
