An alternator is an electromechanical device that converts mechanical energy to electrical
energy in the form of alternating current. Most alternators use a rotating magnetic field but linear
alternators are occasionally used. In principle, any AC electrical generator can be called an
alternator, 'but usually the word refersto small rotating machines driven by automotive and other
internal combustion engines. Alternators in power stations driven by-steam turbines are called
turbo-alternators.

Diagram of a simple alternator with a rotating magnetic
core (rotor) and stationary wire' (stator) also showing the
current induced in the stator: by therotating magnetic -field
of the rotor.
.
Alternators generate electricity by the .same principle as
DC generators, namely, when the magnetic field around a
conductor changes, a current is induced in the conductor.
Typically, a rotating magnet called the rotor turns within a
stationary set of conductors wound in coils on an iron core,
called the stator. The field cuts across the conductors,
generating an induced EMF, as the mechanical input
causes the rotor to turn.
The rotating magnetic field induces an AC voltage in the stator windings. Often there are three
sets of stator windings, physically offset so that the rotating magnetic field produces three phase
currents, displaced by one-third or a period with respect to each other.
The rotor magnetic field may he produced by induction (in a "brushless" alternator). by
permanent magnets (in very small machines), or by a rotor winding energized with direct current
through slip rings and brushes. TIll' rotor magnetic field may even be provided by stationary field
winding, with moving poles ill the rotor. Automotive alternators invariably use a rotor winding,
which allows control of the alternator generated voltage by varying the current in the rotor field
winding. Permanent magnet m.uhinc-, avoid the loss due to magnetizing current in the rotor hut

alternators by 1962, for example). Automotive hl~ernatots
use a set of rectifiers (diode bridge) to convert AC to nc.
To provide direct current with low ripple, automotive
alternators have a three-phase winding. In addition,' the
pole-pieces of the rotor are shaped (claw-pole) so as to
produce a voltage waveform closer to a square wave that,
when rectified by the diodes, produces even less ripple than
the rectificationof three-phase sinusoidal voltages.

Typical passenger vehicle and light truck alternatorsuse Lundell or claw-polefield construction,
where the field north and south poles are all energized by a single winding, with the poles
looking rather like fingers of two hands interlocked with each other. Larger vehicles may have
salient-pole alternators similar to larger machines. The automotive alternator is usually belt
driven at 2-3 times the engine.crankshaft speed. Automotive alternators are not restricted to a
certain RPM because the alternating current is rectified to direct current and need not be any
constantfrequency.
Modern automotive alternators have a voltage regulator built into them. The voltage regulator
operatesby modulating the small field current in order to produce a constantvoltageat the stator
output. The field current is much smaller than the output current of the alternator;for example. a
70-amp alternator may need only 2 amps of field current. The field current is supplied to the
rotor windings by slip rings and brushes. The low current and relatively smooth slip rings ensure

and
Efficiency of automotive alternators is limited by fan cooling loss, bearing loss, iron loss, ~opper
loss, and the voltage drop in the diode bridges; at part load, efficiency is between 50-62%
depending on the size of alternator, and varies with alternator speed.!" In comparison, very small
1.6BrfJ
. high-performance permanent magnet alternators, such as those used for bicycle lighting systems,
achieve an efficiency around ~60%. Larger permanent magnet alternators can achieve much
higher efficiency.By contrast, the large AC generators used in power stations run at carefully
controlled speeds and h~v~ no constqints -on size or weight. Consequently, they have much
higher efficiencies, onthe order of 98% from shaft to AC output power.
. The field windings are initially supplied via the ignition switch and charge warning light, which
is Why the Jightglows when the ignition is on but the engine is not running. Oncethe engine is
ruoiling and the atteniatorjs'~eilerati!1g, a diode feeds the field current from the alternator main
output. thus equalizing, t1l~:voltage across the warning light which goes out. The wire supplying
the field.current.is often referred to as the "exciter" wire. The.drawback ofthis arrangement is
that if the warning ligbHalls or the "exciter" wire is disconnected, no excitation current reaches
the alternator field windings and so the -alternator, due to low residual magnetismin the rotor,
will not generate any power. However. some; alternators will self-excite when the engirie is
revved to a certain speed. Also. some warning light circuits are equipped with a resistor in
parallel with the warning light that will permit excitation 'curreht to t}ow eve'} if the warning light
falls. The driver should check that. the warning light is glowing wpen.the,'er)gine,'is stopped;
otherwise, there might not be any indication of a failure of the alternator drive belt Which
normally also drives the cooling water pump.
Very large automotive alternators used on buses, heavy equipment or emergency vehicles may
produce 300 amperes. Very old automobiles with minimal lighting and electronic devices may
have only a 30 ampere alternator. Typic3J passenger car and light truck altemators 'are rated
around 50-70 amperes, though higher ratings are becoming more common, especially as there is
more load on the vehicle's electrical system with, for example, the introduction of electric power
steering systems. Semi-trucks usually have alternators around 140 amperes. Very large
automotive alternators may be water-cooled or oil-cooled.

Many alternator voltage regulators are today linked to the vehicle's onboard computer system
and, in recent years, other factors including air temperature (obtained from the intake air
temperature sensor or battery temperature sensor in many cases) and engine load are considered
in adjusting the battery charging voltage supplied by the alternator.
1.5 Marine alternators
Marine alternators used in yachts are similar to automotive alternators. with appropriate
adaptations to the sail-water environment. Marine alternators are designed to be explosion proof
so that brush sparking will not ignite explosive gas mixtures in an engine room environment.
They may be 12 or 24 volt depending on the type of system installed. Larger marine diesels may

1.6 Brushless alternators
1.6.0 Construction
A brushless alternator is composed of two nlternatore built end-to-end on one shaft. Smaller
brushlessalternators may look like one unit but the two parts are readilyidentifiable on the large
versions. The larger of the two sections is the main alternator and the smaller one is the exciter.
The exciter has stationary field coils' and a rotating armature (power coils). The main alternator
uses the opposite configuration with a rotating field and stationary armature. A bridge rectifier,
called the rotating rectifier assembly.tis mounted on plate attached to the rotor. Neither brushes
nor slip rings are used, which reduces the number of wearing parts.

Varying the amount of current through the stationary exciter field coils varies the 3-phase output
from the exciter. This output is rectified by a rotating rectifier assembly, mounted on the rotor,

The result of all this is that a small DC exciter current indirectly controls the output of the main

2.1 INTRODUCTION
•
Alternators produce A.C current. If your are talking about automobile alternators this AC current
is converted in to DCto charge the battery. Earlier Dynamo's were in use before 1980's to charge
the' batteries .. Dynamo produces DC current directly and only electrical regulator is used to
control its voltage and current. In case of alternators' an Electronic regulators are.fitted in side the
alternators along with diodes to convert AC to DC.

2.2 LINEAR ALTERNATOR

•
•
•
•o
•
A'linear alternator is essentially a linear motor used as an electrical generator. (An alternator is
a type of alternating 'current (AC) electrical generator.) The devices are often physically
. equivalent. The principal difference is in how they are used and which direction the energy
flows. An alternator converts mechanicalenergy to electrical energy. whereas a motor converts
electrical energy to mechanical energy. Like most electric motors and electric- generators, the
linear alternator works by the principle of electromagnetic induction, However, most alternators
work with rotary motion, whereas "linear" alternators work with "linear" motion (i.e. motion in a
straight line).'

Theory
When a magnet moves in relation to a coil of wire, this changes the magnetic flux passing
through the coil, and thus induces the flow of an electric current, which can be used to do work,
A linear alternator is most commonly used to convert reciprocating (i.e. back-and-forth) motion
directly into electrical energy. This short-cut eliminates the need for. a crank or linkage that
would otherwise be required to convert a reciprocating motion to a rotary motion in order to he
compatible with a rotary generator.
Applications
The simplest type of linear alternator is the Faraday Flashlight. This is a torch (UK) or flashlight
(USA) which contains a coil and a permanent magnet. When the appliance is shaken back and
forth, the magnet oscillates through the coil and induces an electric current. This current is used
to charge a capacitor. thus storing energy for later use. The appliance can then produce light.
usually.from a light-emitting diode, until the capacitor is discharged It can then be re-charged hy
further shaking.

In the year 2003, prior to the events depicted in The Transformers: The Movie. a pathogen is
released by one of the Decepticons which destroys the Cybertronian bodies of the Autobots
based on Earth. In order to save their lives. not just from destruction by the disease but by attack
from the .Decepticons in their vulnerable stale, the Autobots team up with car manufacturers
from Earth, including Subaru, Mazda, Chrysler and Ford to construct new bodies from Earth
materials. which would be immune to the disease, This initiative is the Binaltech Project
The initiative is successful. and several Autobots are returned to duty, allowing them to fend off
assaults by the Decepticons. However. the Dccepticons take advantage of the developments of
the Project. and several of them manage to obtain Binaltech bodic-, of their 0\\ 11 The AUloboh

Among the Decepticons given Binaltech bodies is Ravage. This is not the 2003-era cassette
Ravage, but a Ravage from the future, who had travelled back into the distant past to the Beast
Wars, was deactivated onpre-historic Earth and unearthed by archaeologists. With knowledge of
the events beyond the year 2003, Ravage is able to enact several plans which alter Transformers
history, including preventing the Battle of Autobot City (and therefore the death of Optimus
Prime and the reformatting of Megatron into 'Galvatron), and trapping the bulk of the Decepticon
army in a temporal rift' to protect them from Unicron who would soon be appearing, thereby
dooming the Autobotsto fight him unassisted, and providing the opportunity for the Decepticons
to be released and easily defeat whoever was left standing.

The Autobots become aware of Ravage's tampciingl3Jl4J,and attempt to undo the damageIS).
Their attempts are unsuccessful and trigger the crumbling of reality itself, but a "Protector" from
the future unexpectedly arrives, stabilizes the multiverse, andsplinters the altered timefine of the
Binaltech saga into its own' universe, parallel to the restored timeline in the original universe.
The JP-rotectoi"•explains .that the Binaltech universe, although originally a -corruption : of the
1imeline, must be IDlowedto continue as it will lead to an evolution of the Transformers species,
and-eventually to "the great'Atternity".
..
'When Unieron arrives, the Autobots prevail, but per Ravage's pian, the Decepticons are released
from the rift to conquer the battle-weary Au' obots. In order to put an end to' all Transformer
.fighting across the universe, the Autobots resort to activating an ancient device to freeze all
Transformers across the universe, but it has the unexpected effect of only freezing the nonBinaltech Transformers. Since Binaltech Autobots outnumber Binaltcch Decepticons, the
Autobots once again triumph.
As the Autobots adjust to life in Binaltech bodies, experiments with Binaltech technology lead to
a showdown between Optimus Prime and an evil twinlS] in which the Protector's spark merges
with Prime's to ensure his victory over the doppelganger, and to the discovery of
element
called "Alterniurn" which, unbeknownst to the Autobots, will be key to the prophesied
"Alternity" .

When Galvatron was defeated by Rodimus Prime and tossed out through Unicron's eye, instead
of crashing on Thrull, as seen in the original events. he crashed on Earth. decimating Tokyo. Out
of guilt, Rodimus Prime stepped down as leader. p;Jssing the Matrix 'to Ultra Magnus.
As a result of this incident. even Autobots were no longer welcome on Earth. and the EDC

Galvatron's crash on Earth also had the unexpected effect of distributing Unicron-infected
cells
from his body across Tokyo, which resulted in the rise of a new type of menace, the: Legion creatures created by these Galvatron cells invading Earthen objects and' animals. But it was
found that these cells could also be utilized on humans and the Autorooper squads, to create a
more powerful force to fight the Legion - the Kiss Players. A kiss between the Autorooper robot
and its human partner would cause the two to fuse, with the Autorooper becoming several
magnitudes more powerful and deadly than it originally had been. The process did have one
particular limitation - after-a certain amount of time, the. human would be automatically
disgorged from the Autorooper, even if the battle was still ongoing. Atari Hitotonari wasa
notable Kiss Player whose fusion with her Autorooper resulted in'unmatched power levels.

This ability to fuse human and Transformer would eventually spread to Optimus Prime, whose
lifeless body was in the custody of the EDC and who was resurrected and reformatted into a
Dodge Ram truck by a kissgiven by the human MarissaFairebom, and to Hot Rod, who wasin
seclusion on Earth trying to make amends for the' destruction which resulted from his fight with
Galvatron, when he reformatted into a Ford GT car by a kiss from a human named Shaoshao Li,

In spite of the EDC's anti-Transformer policy which saw them being hunted down by the EDC,
Optimus Prime and Hot Rod, along with their human partners, helped battle the Legion on
numerous occasions -.But this was not a happy co-operation, ~s the two Autobots fought each
other on several occasions. This was partly due to the fact that Hot Rod was convincedthat the
reformatted Optimus Prime was an imposter. Hot Rod had, afterall, witnessed Optirnus' death in
the aftermath of the Battle of Auto-or City, and as Rodimus Prime, had briefly replaced Optimus

eliminated the unique powers of the Kiss Players and undid the reformatting undergone by both
Optimus Prime and Hot Rod, including undoing Optirnus's resurrection. Galvatron was ejected
into space, to ultimately crash on Thrull, and the original timeline seen in the animated movie
was effectively resjored.

Billa/tech figures arc the Japanese version of Altemators. Unlike Alternators. the Binaltech line
features fully painted car bodies and die-cast metal parts.
An. electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors
.operate through interacting magnetic fields and current-carrying conductors to generate force,
although it few use .electrostatic forces. The' reverse' process, -producing' electrical eil~rgy from
mechanical. energy, .is Aone 'by generators such. as an alternator or it dynamo. Many .types of
" ~lectricinotors can be run as generators, and vice versa. For example a starter/genel"!ltorfor a gas
turbine, or .traction motors used Ion vehicles, often perform both tasks. Electric motors and
;,generato.rs;rre commonly ref~ed to.as electric-machines.

Electric motors are found in .applications as diverse: as jndustrial faps; blowers llnd'pumps,
machine tools, household appliances .. power (ools,'and disk drives. They maybe pOwe.red by
direct current (e.g., a battery powered portable device or motor vehicle), or by alternating current
from a -central electrical distribution grid. The smallest motors may be found in electric
wristwatches. Medium-size motors 'Ofhighl ¥ standardized dimensions ~nd characteristics provide
convenient ..mechanical power forindustrial uses. The very largest electric motors are used for
propulsion of ships, pipeline compressors, and water pumps with ratings in the millions of watts.
Electric motors may be classified by the source of electric power. by their internal construction,
by their application. or by the type of motion they give.
The physical principle of production of mechanical force by the interactions of an electric current
and a. magnetic field was known as early as l821. Electric motors of increasing efficiency were
constructed throughout the 19th century, but eomrneroial exploitation of electric motors on a
large scale required efficient electrical generators and electrical distribution networks,

Some devices, such as magnetic solenoids and loudspeakers, although they generate some
mechanical power. are not generally referred to' as electric motors, and are usually termed
actuators and transducers, respectively,

Ball bearing motor - A ball bearing motor is an unusual electric motor that consists of
two ball bearing-typebearings, with the inner races mounted on a common conductive
shaft, and the outer races connected to a high current, low voltage power supply. An
alternative construction fits the outer races inside a metal tube, while the inner races are
mounted on a shaft with a non...conductive section (e.g. two sleeves on an insulating rod).
This method has the advantage that the tube will act as a flywheel. The direction of
rotation is determined by the initial spin which is usually required to get it going .

name,
DC motor design generates an oscillating current in a wound
rotor, or armature, with a split ring commutator, and either a
wound or permanent magnet stator. A rotor, consists of one or
more coils of wire wound around a core on a shaft; an electrical
power source is connected to the rotor coil through the
commutator and its brushes, causing current to flow in it.
producing electromagnetism, The commutator causes the
current in the coils to be switched as the rotor turns, keeping the
magnetic poles of the rotor from ever fully aligning with the
magnetic poles of the stator field, so that the rotor never stops (like a compass needle does) but
ruther keeps rotating indefinitely (as long as power is applied and is sufficient for the motor to
overcome the shaft torque load and internal losses due to friction, etc.)
Many of the limitations of the classic commutator DC motor are due to the need for brushes to
! press against the commutator, This creates friction, Sparks are created by the brushes making and
, breaking circuits through the rotor coils as the brushes cross the insulating gaps between

commutator sections. Depending ,on the commutator design, this may include the brushes;
shorting together adjacent sections-e-and henee coil ends-momentarily while crossing the gaps .. ,
Furthermore, the inductance of the rotor coils causes the voltage across each to rise when its ~
circuit is opened, increasing the sparking of. the brushes. This sparking limits the maximurn
speed of the machine, as too-rapid sparking will overheat, erode, or .even melt the commutator ..:
The current density per unit area of the brushes, in combination with their resistivity, limits the;
'output of the motor .The making and breaking of electric contact a1so causes electrical noise, and
the sparks addit.iomilly cause RFI. Brushes eventually wear out and require replacement, and the'

to
A series-wound motor is referred to as a universal motor when it has been designed to operate
on either AC or DC power, The ability to operate on AC is bec~\1se the current in both the field
and the annature (and hence the resultant magnetic fields) will alternate (reverse polarity) in
synchronism. and hence the resulting mechanical force will occur in a constant direction.
Operating at normal power line frequencies, universal motors are often found in a range mrely
larger than 1000 watt, Universal motors also form the basis of the traditional railway traction
motor lIT' electric railways. 1n this application, the use of AC to power a motor originally
designed to run on DC w(\u1d lead to efficiency losses due to eddy current heating of their
magnetic components, panicularly the motor field pole-pieces that; for DC, would have used

In this case the Lorentz force drives the current in 'the two vertical arms of the moving loop
downward, so current flows from the top discto the bottom disc. In the conducting rims' of the

the horizontal portions of the moving loop. Current is transmitted from the bottom rim to the top
rim through the external return loop, which is oriented so the B-field is in its plane. Thus, the
Lorentz force in the return loop is perpendicular to the loop, and no EMF generated in this
return loop. Traversing the current path in th~ direction opposite' to the current flow, work is

Now let's try a different path. Follow a path traversing the rims via the opposite choice of
segments. Then the coupled flux would decrease as e incre.ased, but the right-hand -rule would
suggest the current loop added to the applied B-field, so the EMF around this path is the saine as
for the first path. Any mixture of return paths leads to the samc result for EMF, so it is actually

The EMF predicted by Faraday's law is also responsible for electrical transformers. When the
electric current in a loop of wire changes, the changing current creates a changing magnetic field.

change in its coupled magnetic flux, ad (l)s I d t. Therefore, an electromotive force is set up in .'
the second loop called the induced EMF or transformer EMf. If-the two ends of this loop are

4.1 INTRODUCTION
In electricity generation, an electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to
electrical energy, The reverse conversion of eleorrical energy into mechanical energy is done by
a motor; motors and generators have many similarities. A generator forces electrons in the
windings to flow through the external electrical circuit. It is somewhat analogous to a water

generators
Early motor vehicles until about the 19605 tended to use DC generators with electromechanical
, regulators. .These have now been replaced by alternators with built-in rectifier circuits, which are
less costly and lighter for equivalent output. Automotive alternators powerjhe electrical systems
on the vehicle and recharge the battery after starting. Rated output will typically be in the range
5Q-l00'A at 12 V; depending on the designed electrical load within the vehicle. Some cars now
have .electrically-powered steering assistance and air conditioning, which places a high load on
the;el~rical'~ystem.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
A classic synchronous electric motor is an AC motor distinguished by a rotor spinning. with coils
passing magnets at the same rate as the alternating current and resulting rotating magnetic field
which drives it. Another way of saying this is that it does not rei) on slip under usual (lj1crating
conditions and as a result. produces torque at synchronous speed. Contrast this with an induction

range, most synchronous motors are used where precise constant speed, is required. In highhorsepower industrial sizes, the synchronous motor provides two important functions. First, it is
a highly efficient means of converting ac energy to work. Second, it can operate at leading or'

The stator is the outer shell of the motor, which carries the armature" winding. This
winding is spatially distributed for poly-phase AC current. This armature~ creates a
rotating magnetic field inside the motor.
.
The rotor is the rotating portion of the motor. It carries field winding, which may be
supplied by a DC source. On excitation, this field winding behaves as a permanent
magnet. Some machines use permanent magnets in the rotor.
The slip rings on the rotor, to supply the DC to the field winding.
The stator frame contains and supports the other parts and may include bearing housings.
Large machines may include additional parts for cooling the machine, supporting the rotor,
lubricating and cooling the bearings, and various protection and measurement devices.

2.1 INTRODUCTION
A synchronous machine is an ac rotating machine whose speed under steady state condition is
proportional to the frequency of the current in its armature, The magnetic field created by the
armature currents rotates at the same speed as that created by the field current on the rotor, which
is rotating at the synchronous speed, and a steady torque results,
Synchronous machines are commonly used as generators especially for large power systems,
such as turbine generators and hydroelectric generators in the grid power supply. Because the
rotor speed is proportional to the frequency of excitation. synchronous motors can be used in
situations where constant speed drive is required, Since the reactive power generated by a
synchronous machine can be adjusted by controlling the magnitude of the rotor field current,
unloaded synchronous machines are also often installed in power systems solely for power factor
correction or for control of reactive kYA 11m'. Such machines. known a~ synchronous
condensers, may be more economical in the large sizc~ than static capacitors,

such that the stator field is always 900 (electrical) ahead of the rotor, the motor performance can
be very close to the conventional brushed .de motors, which is very much favored for variable
speed drives. The rotor position can be either detected by using rotor position sensors or deduced
from the induced emJin the stator windings. Since this type of motors do not need brushes, they
are known as brushless de motors

You can adjust three bus parameters, terminal voltage, lirte current, and power factor. The power
factor is adjustable, as it is the phase angle between the terminal voltage and the line current. You
can also adjust two machine parameters, the armature resistance {~) and the sum of synchronous
reactance, and armature reactance (x$ + x.:£). These values are multiplied by the line current to
create the appropriate voltage drops. The synchronous impedance voltage drop js then
represented by the black vector. This is the vector sum of the voltage drops due to armature
resistance, synchronous reactance, and armature reactance. You can observe the power angle
variation as the angle between the terminal voltage (green) and the generated voltage (Eg)
changes.

The armature winding of a conventional synchronous machine is almost invariably on the stator
and is usually a three phase winding. The field winding is 'Usually on the rotor and excited by de

used with large turbine generators. There are two typt;s of rotor structures: round or cylindrical
rotor and salient pole rotor as illustrated schematically in the diagram below. Generally. round

If alternators (a) and (b) in Fig. 20-8 are supplying a load jointly and the field excitation of
machine (a) is reduced, the division of power load will not be affected. However, a circulating
current will be caused to flow around the load circuit formed by the two alternators. "This
circulating current will be leading with' respect to the voltage of alternator (a) and willthus
supply the excitation deficiency by armature reaction. Furthermore, the circulating current will
be lagging with respect to the voltage of alternator (b) and so willdetract from its excitation. The
line volta ~e will decrease somewhat because of the increased impedance drops in the two
alternators. but the division of power load will remain constant.

3.3 PARALLELOPERATION
Q
The economic generation of alternating current frequently involves parallel operation of two or
more alternators. Direct-current generators excited to the same terminal voltage may be
connected in parallel merely by connecting together terminals of like polarity. However, before
two or more alternators can safely be connected in parallel, their frequencies must be almost the

OBJECTIVE: An important component of the ventricular volume measured using the
conductance catheter technique is due to parallel conductance (Vc), which results from the
extension of the electric field beyond the ventricular blood pool. Parallel conductance volume is
normally estimated using the saline dilution mel rod (Vc(saline dilution», in which the.
conductivity of blood in the ventricle is transiently increased by injection of hypertonic saline. A

frequency. The objective of this study was to determine whether the dual frequency technique
could be used to substitute the saline dilution method to estimate Vc in different sized hearts.
METHODS: The accuracy and linearity of a custom-built conductance catheter (CC) system was

determined using thermodilution (group I) and an ultrasonic flow probe (group 2) from which
the slope coefficient (alpha) was determined. Steady state measurements and Vc estimated using
saline dilution were performed at frequencies in the range of 5-40 kl-lz. All measurements were]
made at end-expiration. Finally. Vc was estimated from the change in end-systolic conductance

CONCLUSION: At a lower excitation frequency 0(5 kHz a smaller percentage of the electric
current extends beyond the blood pool so parallel conductance is reduced. While parallel
conductance is frequency dependent, it has a substantial resistive component. The dual frequency
method is based on the assumption that parallel conductance is negligible at low frequencies arid
this is clearly not the case. The results of this study confirm that the dual frequency technique
cannot be used to substitute the saline dilution technique.

counteract the distortion and raise the power factor. The devices for correction of the power

If a purely resistive load is connected to a power supply, current and voltage will change polarity

loads such as capacitor banks or buried cable generate rcacti ve power with current phase leading

rest of the cycle.
For example. to gel I kW of real power: if the power factor is unity, I kVA of apparent power
needs to be transferred (1 kW -;- I = 1 kVA). Allow values of power f..ctor, more apparent power
needs to be transferred to get the same real power. To get 1 kW of real power at 0.2 power
-factor, 5 kVA of apparent power needs to be transferred (1 kW -;-0.2 = 5 kVA). This apparent
power must be produced and transmitted to the load in the conventional fashion, and is subject to
the usual distributed losses in the production and transmission processes.
Electrical loads consuming. alternating current power consume both real power and reactive
power. The vector sum of real and reactive power is the apparent power. The 'presence of
-reactive power, causes the real power to be less than the apparent power, and so, the electric load
has a power factor of less than 1.
Power factor correction of linear loads
It is often desirable to adjust the power factor of a system to near l.0. This power factor
correction (PFC) is achieved by switching W or out banks of inductors or capacitors. For
-example the inductive effect of motor loads lp.ay be offset by locally connected capacitors. When
reactive elements supply or absorb reactive power near the load, the apparent power is reduced.
Power factor correction may be applied by an electrical power transmission utility to improve the
stability and efficiency of the transmission network. Correction equipment may be installed by
individual electrical customers to reduce the costs charged to them by their electricity supplier. A
high power factor is generally desirable in a transmission system to reduce transmission losses
and improve voltage regulation at the load.
'
Power factor correction brings the-power factor of an AC power circuit closer to 1 by supplying
reactive power of opposite sign, adding capacitors or inductors which act to cancel the inductive
or capacitive effects of the load, respectively. For example, the inductive effect of motor loads
may be offset by locally connected capacitors. If aload had a capacitive value, inductors (also
known as reactors in this context) are 'Connected to correct the power factor. In the electricity
industry, inductors are said to consume reactive power and capacitors are said to supply It, even
though the reactive power is actually just moving back and
forth on each AC cycle.

Instead of using a set of switched capacitors, an unloaded synchronous motor can supply reactive
power. The reactive power drawn by the synchronous motor is a function of its field excitation.

support a system's voltage or to maintain the system power factor at a sp'ccified level. '
.
The condenser's installation and operation are identical to large electric motors. Its principal
advantage is the ease with which the amount of correction can be adjusted; it behaves like an
electrically variable capacitor. Unlike capacitors, the amount of reactive power supplied is
proportional to voltage, not the .square of voltage; this improves voltage stability on large
networks. Synchronous condensors are often used in connection with high voltage direct current
transmission projects or in large industrial plants such as steel mills.
4.3 NON-LINEAR LOADS
A non-linear load on a power system is typically a rectifier (such as used in' a power supply), or
some kind of arc discharge device such as a fluorescent lamp, electric welding machine, or arc
furnace. Because current in these systems is interrupted
by a switching action, the current contains frequency
components that are multiples of the power system
frequency. Distortion power factor is a measure of how
much the harmonic distortion of a load current
decreases the average power transferred to the load.
Sinusoidal voltage and non-sinusoidal current give a
distortion power factor of 0.75 for this computer power
supply load.

In linear circuits having only sinusoidal currents and voltages of one frequency, the power factor"
arises only from the difference in phase between the current and voltage. This is "displacement

the apparent power includes all harmonic components. This is of importance in practical power
systems which contain non-linear loads such as rectifiers, some" forms of electric lighting.
electric arc furnaces, welding equipment, switched-mode power supplies and other devices.
A typical rnultimeter will give incorrect results when attempting to measure the AC current
.drawn by a non-sinusoidal load; the instruments sense the average value of a rectified waveform.
The average response is then calibrated to the effective,"RMS value. An RMS sensing multi meter
must be used to measure the actual RMS currents and voltages (and therefore apparent power).
To measure the real-power or reactive power, a wattmeter designed to work properly with nonsinusoidal currents must be used.

incorporated a simple full-wave rectifier that conducted only when the mains instantaneous
voltage exceeded the voltage on the input capacitors. This leads ,to very high ratios of peak-toaverage input current, which also lead to a low distortion power factor and potentially serious
phase and neutral loading concerns.
A typical switched-mode power supply first makes a DC bus, using a bridge rectifier ,or similar
circuit. The output voltage is then derived from this DC bus. The problem with this is that the
rectifier is a non-linear device, so the input current is highlynon-linear. That means that the input'
current has energy at harmonics of the frequency of the voltage.
This presents a particular problem for the power companies, because they cannot compensate for
.the harmonic current by adding simple capacitors or inductors, as they could for the reactive
power drawn ,by a linear load. Many jurisdictions are beginning to legally require power factor'
correction for all power supplies above 'a certain power level.
Regulatory agencies such as the EU have set harmonic limits as a method, of improving power
factor. Declining component cost has' hastened 'implementation of two different' methods. To
comply with current EU standard EN6}()()()"3-2, all switched-mode power supplies with output
power more than 15 W must include ~ssive PFC, at least. 80 PLUS power supply certification
requires a power factor of 0.9 or more. 4J

The simplest way to control the harmonic current is to use a filter: it is possible to design a filter
that passes current only at line frequency (e.g. 50 or 60 Hz). This filter reduces the harmonic
current, which means that the non-linear device now looks like a linear load. At this point the
power factor can be brought to near unity, using capacitors or inductors as required, This filter
requires large-value high-current inductors, however, which are bulky and expensive.

In most applications, the active PFC controls the input current of the load so thai tilL current
waveform is proportional to the mains voltage waveform (a sine wave). The purpose of making
the power factor as close to unity (I) as possible is to make the load circuitry that is power factor
corrected appear purely resistive (apparent power equal to real. power).1131In this case, the
voltage and current are in phase and the reactive power consumption is zero. This enables the
most efficient delivery of electrical power from the power company to the consumer.1141

4.4 Importance of power factor in distribution
.-~.-
svstcms
...
The significance of power factor lies in the fact that utility companies supply customers with
volt-amperes, but bill them for watts. Power factors below 1.0 require a utility to generate more
than the minimum volt-amperes necessary to supply the real power (watts). This increases
generation and transmission costs. For example, if the load power factor were as low as 0.7, the
apparent power would be 1.4 times the real power used by the load. Line current in the circuit
would also be 1.4 times the current required at ).0 power factor, so the losses in the circuit would
be doubled (since they are proportional to the square of the current). Alternatively all
components of the system such as generators, conductors, transformers, and switchgear would be
, increased in size (and cost) to carry the extra current: ,
Utilities typically charge additional costs to customers who have a power factor below some
limit, which is typically 0.9 to 0.95. Engineers are often interested in the power factor of a load
as one of the factors that affect the efficiency of power transmission.

With the rising cost of energy and concerns over the efficient delivery of power, active PFC has
become more common in consumer electronics. Current Energy Star guidelines for computers
(ENERGY STAR® Program.Requirements for Computers Version 5.0) call for a power factor of
~ 0.9 at 100% of rated output in the PC'!spower supply. According to a white paper authored by •
Intel and the U.S. Environmental Protection' Agency, PCs with internal power supplies will .
require the use of- active power factor correction to meet the ENERGY STAR® 5.0 Program

.
In Europe. IEC 555-2 requires power factor correction be incorporated into consumer products .
4.5 Measuring power factor
Power factor in a single-phase circuit (or balanced three-phase circuit) can be measured with the
waumeter-ammeter-voltmetcr method, where the power in watts is divided by the product of
measured voltage and current. The power factor of a balanced polyphase 'circuit is the same as
that of any phase. The power factor of an unbalanced polyphase circuit is not uniquely defined.
A direct reading power factor meter can be made with a moving coil meter of the electrodynamic
. type, carrying two perpendicular coils on the moving part of the instrument. The field of the
instrument is energized by the circuit current flow. The two moving coils, A and B, are
connected in parallel with the circuit load. One coil, A, will be connected through a resistor and
the second coil. B, through an inductor. so that the current in coil B is delayed with respect to
current in A, At unity power factor. the current in A is in phase with the circuit current, and coil
A pnn ides maximum torque, driving the instrument pointer toward the 1.0 mark on the scale. At
zero power factor. the current ill coil B is in phase with circuit current, and coil B provides
torque to drive the pointer towards O. At intermediate values of power factor, the torques
prm ulcd hy the two coils add and the pointer takes up intermediate positions.II'!1

Another electromechanical instrument is the polarized-vane type.1201 In this instrument 2.
stationary field coil produces a rotating magnetic field, just like a polyphase motor. The field
coils are connected either directly to polyphase voltage sources or to a phase-shifting reactor if a
single-phase application. A second stationary field coil; perpendicular to the voltage coils, carries
a current proportional to current in one phase of the circuit. The moving system of the instrument
consists of two vanes which are magnetized by the current coil. In operation the moving vanes
take up a physical angle equivalent to the electrical angle between the voltage source and the
current source. This 'type of instrument can be made jo register for currents in both directions,
giving a 4-quadrail.t display of power factor or phase angle.

Digital instruments can be made that either directly measure'the time lag between voltage and
. current waveforms and. so calculate the power factor, or by measuring both true and apparent
power in the circuit and calculating the quotient. The first method is only accurate ·ifvoltage and .

1.1 INTRODUCTION
An incJuction motor or asynchronous motor is a type of alternating current motor where power
is supplied to the rotor by means of electromagnetic induction.
An electric motor turns because of magnetic force exerted between a stationary eledromagnet
called the stator and a rotating electromagnet called the rotor. Different types of electric motors
are distinguished by how electric current is supplied to the moving rotor. In a DC motor and a
slip-ring AC motor, current i~ provided to the rotor directly through sliding electrical contact"

flux, induction motors use rotating magnetic fields to transform the voltage. The current in the

the secondary side to produce a resultant torque, thereby transforming the electrical energy into
mechanical energy. Induction motors are widely used, especially polyphase induction motors,

The basic difference between an induction motor and a
synchronous AC motor with a permanent magnet rotor is that in
the latter the rotating magnetic field of the stator will impose an
electromagnetic torque on the magnetic field of the rotor
causing it to move (about a shaft) and a steady rotation of the
rotor is produced. It is called synchronous because at steady
state the speed of the rotor is the same as the speed of the rotating magnetic field in the stator.

Theequaa
By way of contrast, the induction motor does not have any permanent magnets on the rotor;
instead. a current is induced in the rotor. To achieve this, stator windings are arranged around the
rotor so that when energised with a polyphase supply they create a rotating magnetic field pattern
which sweeps past the rotor. This changing magnetic field pattern induces current in the rotor

conductors. These currents interact with the rotating magnetic field created by the stator and in
effect causes a rotational motion on the rotor.
'
However, for these currents to be induced, the speed of the physical rotor must be less than the
speed of the rotating magnetic field in the stator (the synchronous frequency ns) or else the
magnetic field will not be moving relative to the rotor conductors and no currents will be
induced. If by some chance this happens, the rotor typically slows slightly until a current is reinduced and then the rotor. continues as before. This difference between the speed of the rotor
and speed of the rotating magnetic field in the stator is called slip. It is unitless and is the ratio
between the relative speed of the magnetic field as seen by the rotor (the slip speed) to the speed
of the rotating stator field. Due to this, an induction motor is sometimes referred to as an
asynchronous machine; .

-
Typical winding pattern for a 3 phase, 4 pole motor- (here phases
are labelledW, U, V). Note the interleaving of the pole windings
and the resultant quadrupole field.
The stator consists of wound 'poles' that carry the supply current to
induce a magnetic field that penetrates the rotor. In a very simple
motor, there would be a single projecting piece of the stator (a
salient pole) for each pole, with windings around it; in fact, to
optimize the distribution of the magnetic field, the windings are
distributed in many slots located around the stator, but the
magnetic field still has the same number of north-south
alternations. The number of 'poles' can vary between motor types
but the poles are always in pairs (i.e. 2,4,6, etc.).
Induction motors are most commonly built to run on single-phase or three-phase power, but twophase motors also exist. In theory, two-phase and more than three phase induction motors are
possible; many single-phase motors having two windings and requiring a capacitor can actually
be viewed as two-phase motors, since the capacitor generates a second power phase 90 degrees
from the single-phase supply and feeds it to a separate motor winding. Single-phase power is
more widely available in residential buildings, but cannot produce a rotating field in the motor
(the field merely oscillates back and forth), so single-phase induction motors must incorporate
some kind of starting mechanism to produce a rotating field. They would, using the simplified
analogy of salient poles, have one salient pole per pole number: a four-pole motor would have
four salient poles. Three-phase motors have three salient poles per pole number, so a four-pole
motor would have twelve salient poles. This allows the motor to produce a rotating field,
allowing the motor to start with no extra equipment and run more efficiently than a similar
single-phase motor.

Squirrel-cage rotor
The most common rotor is a squirrel-cage rotor. It is made up of bars of either solid copper (most
common) or aluminum that span the length of the rotor, and those solid copper or aluminium
strips can be shorted or connected by a ring or some times not, i.e. the rotor can be closed or
semiclosed type. The rotor bars in squirrel-cage induction motors are not straight, but have some
skew to reduce noise and harmonics.
•
Slip ring rotor
A slip ring rotor replaces the bars of the squirrel-cage rotor with windings that are connected to
slip rings. When these slip rings are shorted, the rotor behaves similarly to a squirrel-cage rotor;
they can also be connected to resistors to produce a high-resistance rotor circuit, which can be

Speed control
ypicaJ torque curves for different line frequencies
The synchronous rotational speed of the rotor (i.e. the
theoretical unloaded speed with no slip) is controlled by the
number of pole pairs (number of windings in the stator) and
by the frequency of the supply voltage.
.-_.-------------.
-~
However. for a loaded rotor. for any given drive frequency
and current and mechanical load, synchronous motors should
be run in the 'operating zone' for that particular induction motor. This is the shaft rotation speed
range above the peak torque. In this zone slightly increasing the slip speed increases the torque,
and decreasing the slip decreases the torque. Hence in this zone the motor will tend to run at
constant speed. Below the operating zone. the run speed tends to be unstable and may stall out or
run at reduced shaft speed, depending on the nature of the mechanical load.
Before the development of economical semiconductor power dCLlronics. it was difficult to \ ary

operation, the stator also induces some reactance, which is
represented by the inductor Xs. The next inductor X,. represents the effect of the rotor

An induction motor or asynchronous motor is a type of alternating current motor where
power is supplied to the rotor by means of electromagnetic induction.
In a DC motor and a slip-ring AC motor. current is provided to the rotor directly through
sliding electrical contacts called commutator and slip rings.
A slip ring rotor replaces the bars of the squirrel-cage rotor with windings that are connected
to slip rings. When these slip rings 'are shorted. the rotor behaves similarly to a squirrel-cage
rotor; they can also be connected to resistors to produce a high-resistance rotor circuit, which

II
An AC induction motor consists of two
asscmblies,stator and.rotor. The stator structure
is composed of steel laminations shaped to
form poles. Copper wire coils are wound
around these poles. These primary windings
are connected to a voltage source to produce a
rotating magnetic field. Three-phase motors
with windings spaced 120 electrical degrees
apart are standard for industrial, commercial
and residential use.
The rotor is another assembly made of laminations over a steel shaft core. Radial slots around the
laminations' periphery house rotor bars.cast-aluminum or copper conductors shorted at the ends
and positioned parallel to 'the shaft. Arrangement of the rotor bars resembles a squirrel cage;
hence, the term squirrel-cage induction motor. The name "induction motor" comes from the AC
"induced" into the rotor via the rotating magnetic flux produced in the stator.

The interaction of currents flowing in the rotor bars and the stators' rotating magnetic field
generate torque. In actual operation, rotor speed always lags the magnetic field's speed, allowing
the rotor bars to cut magnetic lines of force and produce useful torque. This speed difference is
called slip speed. Slip also increases with load and is necessary for torque production.

The formal definition of slip is:

At low values, slip is directly proportional to the rotor resistance, stator voltage frequency and
load torque, and inversely proportional to the second power of supply voltage. The traditional
way to control wound-rotor-induction-motor speed is to increase slip by adding resistance in the
rotor circuit. The slip of low-hp motors is higher than that of high-hp motors because rotorwinding resistance is greater in smaller motors.
D
As seen in Table 1, smaller and lower-speed motors are associated with higher relative slip.
However, high-slip large motors and low-slip small motors also are available.

As one can see, full-load slip varies from less than I percent (in high-hp motors) to more than 5
percent (in fractional-hp motors). These variations may cause load-sharing problems when
motors of different sizes are connected mechanically. At low load, the sharing is about correct;
but at full load, the motor with lower slip takes a higher share of the load than the motor with
higher slip.
As shown in Figure 2, rotor speed decreases in proportion to load torque. This means that rotor
slip increases in the same proportion.

it's possible to adjust motor speed.

Rather than oversizing the motors to eliminate the slip-induced speed error, it may he better to

To reduce motor slip, compensation can be added to AC drives. A load torque signal is added to
the speed controller to increase the output frequency in proportion to the load. (Slip
compensation cannot be 100 percent of the slip because rotor temperature variations cause overcompensation and unstable control.) But the compensation can achieve an accuracy as great as

The newest high-performance technologies in adjustable-speed drives field are vector control
and direct torque control (DTC). Both use. some type of motor model and suitable control
algorithms to control torque and flux, 'rather than the voltage and frequency parameters used in
PWM drives. The difference between traditional vector control and DTC is that the latter has no
fixed switching pattern for each voltage cycle. DTC switches, instead, the inverter according to.
the load 40,000 times per sec. This makes OTC especially fast during instant load changes and
minimizes the need for and effect of dramatic speed changes once the load or process is in
operation.
What is DTC?
DTC is an optimized AC drives control principle. ill which inverter switching directly controls
nux and motor torque.
The input van abies for DTC arc motor current and DC link and voltage. The YoltaL!1' is defined
from the DC-bus voltage and inverter switch positions. The voltage :1I1dcurrent signals are inputs
to an accurate motor model, which updates stator flux and torque every 25 microsec.
<)7
motor torque and flux comparators compare the actual values to the reic.rence value',
produced by torque and flux reference controllers. The outputs from these two-level controller,
are updated every 25 microse~. and they indicate whether the torque or flux must be changed. '
Two-level

• f10
Depending on the outputs from the two-level controllers, the switching logic optimizes inverter
switch positions. This means that each single voltage pulse is determined separately at "atomic
level." The .invener switch positions determine motor voltage and current, which, in turn:
influence the motor torque and flux (this closed loop control eliminates the need 'for encoders in

Slip compensation with DTC is instantaneous

applications. where a tachometer-based vector
control was needed previously. For applications
demanding an even higher accuracy, it's possible
to add a pu1se encoder to a DTC drive.

For the construction of slip a tangent to the circle at the point 10 should be drawn. The
slip line is an arbitrary straight line parallel to the x-axis (-1m axis). The extension of
the line 12 will divide the slip line proportional to the slip .
For the parameterization another point besides the no-load point must be known.

4.1INTRODUCflON
A motor control c~nter (MCC) is an assembly of one or more enclosed sections having a
common power bus and principally containing motor control units.!'! Motor control centers are in
modem practice a factory assembly of several motor starters. A motor control center can include
variable frequency drives, programmable controllers, and metering and may also be the electrical
service entrance for the building. Motor control centers are usually used for low voltage threephase alternating current motors from 230 V to 600 V. Medium-voltage motor control centers
. are made for large motors running at 2300 V to around 1500uV, using vacuum contactors for
switching and with separate compartments for power s w'itching and control.

A motor control center consists of one or more vertical n'ictal cabinet sections with power bus
c
and provision for plug-in mounting of individual motor controllers, Very large controllers may
be bolted in place but smaller controllers call be unplugged fromthe cabinet for testing or
maintenance.
Each motor controller contains a contactor or a solid-state motor controller,
overload relays to protect the motor, fuses or a circuit breaker to provide short-circuit. protection,
and a disconnecting switch to isolate the-motor circuit. Three-phase power enters each controller
through separable connectors.·The
motor is wired to terminals in the controller. Motor control
centers provide wire ways for field control and power cables.

Each motor controller in an MCC can be' specified with a range of options such as separate
control transformers, pilot lamps, control switches, extra control terminal blocks, various types
of bi-metal and solid-state overload protection relays, or various classes of power fuses or types
of circuit breakers. A motor control center can either be supplied ready for the customer to
connect all field wiring, or can be an engineered assembly with internal control and interlocking
wiring t~a central control terminal panel board or programmable controller.
Motor control centers (MCC) usually sit on floors, which are often required to have a -fircresistance rating. Firestops may be required for cables that penetrate fire-rated floors and walls.

4.3 SPEED CONTROL FOR A.C INDUCTION MOTOR
Recent developments in drive electronics have allowed efficient and convenient speed control of
these motors, where this has not traditionally been the case. The newest advancements allow for
torque generation down to zero speed. This allows the polyphase AC induction motor to compete
in areas where DC motors have long
dominated, and presents an advantage in
robustness of design, cost, and reduced
maintenance.
4.3.1 Variable frequency drives
A variable-frequency
drive (VFD) is a
system for controlling the rotational speed of
an alternating current (AC) electric motor by
controlling the frequency of the electrical
power supplied to the motor.[1)[2lf3] A variable
frequency drive is a specific type of adjustablespeed drive. Variable-frequency drives are also
known as adjustable-frequency drives (AFD),
variable-speed drives (VSD). AC drives.

Variable-frequency
drives are widely used. In ventilation systems for large buildings. variablefrequency motors on fans save energy by allowing the volume of air moved to match the system
demand. They are also used on pumps, elevator. conveyor and machine tool drives.
VFD types
All VFDs use their output devices (IGBTs. transistors. thyristors) only as switches. turning them
only on or off. Using a linear device such as a transistor in its linear mode is impractical for a
VFD drive, since the power dissipated in the drive devices would be about as much as the power
delivered to the load.

In a constant voltage converter. the intermediate DC link voltage remains approximately constant
during each output cycle. In constant current drives. a large inductor is placed between the i~put

reliability and better VFD performance, such as MG-31 rated motors 1(·1
VFD controller
Variable frequency drive controllers are solid state electronic power conversion devices. The
usual design first converts AC input power to DC intermediate power using a rectifier or
converter bridge. The rectifier is usually a three-phase, full-wave-diode bridge. The DC
intermediate. power is then converted to. quasi-sinusoidal AC power using an inverter switching
circuit. The inverter circuit is probably the most important section of the VFD, changing DC '
energy into three channels of AC energy that can be used by an AC motor. These units provide
. improved power factor, less harmonic distortion, and low sensitivity to the incoming phase
sequencing than older phase controlled converter VFD's. Since 'incoming power is converted to
DC, many units will accept single-phase as well as three-phase input power (acting as a phase
converter as well as a speed controller); however the unit must. be derated when using single
phase input as only part of the rectifier bridge is carrying the connected loadpl
As new types of semiconductor switches have been introduced, these have promptly been
applied to inverter circuits -at all voltage and current ratings for which suitable devices are
available. Introduced in the ]980s. tlie insulated-gate bipolar transistor (lOBT) became the
device used in most VFD inverter circuits in the first decade of the 21st century:18Jl91llOJ .
AC motor characteristics require the applied voltage to be proportionally adjusted whenever the
frequency is changed in order to deliver the rated torque: For example. if a motor is designed to
operate at 460 volts at 60 Hz, the applied voltage must he reduced to 230 volts when the
frequency is reduced to 30 Hz. Thus the ratio of volts per hertz must be regulated to a constant
value (460/60 = 7.67 V/Hz in this case). For optimum performance. some further voltage
adjustment may be necessary especially at low speeds, but constant volts per hertz is the general
rule. This ratio can be changed in order to change the torque delivered by the motor.!" 1
In addition to this simple volts per hertz coritrol more advanced control methods such as vector
control and direct torque control (DTC) exist. These methods adjust the motor voltage in such a
way that the magnetic flux and mechanical torque of the motor can be precisely controlled.
The usual method used to achieve variable motor voltage is pulse-width modulation (PWM):
With PWM voltage control, the inverter switches are used to construct a quasi-sinusoidal output
waveform by a series of narrow voltage pulses with

Operation of the motors above rated name plate speed

and above rated name plate speed. Permanent magnet synchronous motors' have quite limited
field weakening speed range due to the constant magnet flux linkage. Wound rotor synchronous
motors and induction motors have much wider speed range. For example. a 100 hp, 460 V,
60 Hz, 1775 RPM (4 pole) induction motor supplied with 460 V, 75 Hz (6.134 V1Hz), would be
limited to 60175 80% torque at 125% speed (2218.75 R~M) = 100% pO\~eLILlJAt higher
speeds the induction motor torque has to be limited further due to the lowering of the breakaway
torgue of the motor. Thus rated power carr be typically produced only up to 130...150 % of the
rated name -plate speed. Wound rotor synchronous motors can be run even higher speeds. In
rolling mill drives often 200 ..3.00 % of the base speed is used. Naturally the mechanical strength
.of the rotor and lifetime of the bearings 'is also limiting the maximum speed of the motor. It is .
recommended to consult the motor manufacturer if more than 15.0% speed is required by the,
application.

PWM VFD Output Voltage Waveform
An .embedded microprocessor governs' the overall operation .of the VFD controller. The main
microprocessor programming is' in firmware that is inaccessible to the VFD user. However, some
degree of configuration programming and parameter adjustment is usually provided so that the
user can customize the \[FD controller to suit specific motor and drive~ equipment
. requirements.
.
VFD operator interface
The operator interface provides a means for n operator to start and stop the motor and adjust the
operating speed. Additional operator control functions might include reversing andswitching
between manual speed adjustment and automatic control from an external process control signal.
The operator interface often includes an alphanumeric display and/or indication lights and meters
to provide information about the operation of.the drive. An operator interface keypad and display
unit is often provided -on the front of the VFD controller as shown in the photograph above. The
keypad display can often be cable-connected and mounted a short distance from the VFD
controller. Most are also provided with ..input and output (110) terminals. for connecting
push buttons, switches and other operator interrace ,devices or control signals. A serial
communications port is also often available to allow the VFD to be configured. adjusted,
monitored and controlled using a computer.

When an induction motor is connected to a fuJI voltage supply, it draws several times (up to
about 6 times) its rated current. As the load accelerates. the available torque usually drops a little
and then rises to a peak while the current remains very high until the motor approaches full
speed.

With a VFD, the Slopping sequence is just tile opposite as. the starting sequence. The frequency
and voltage applied to the motor are ramped down at a controlled rate. When' the frequency
approaches zero, the motor: is shut off. A small amount of braking torque is available to help
decelerate the load a little faster than it would stop if the motor were simply switched off and
allowed to coast. Additional braking torque can be obtained by adding a braking circuit (resistor
controlled by a transistor) to dissipate the braking energy. With 4-quadrants rectifiers (activefront-end), the VFD is able to brake the load by applying a reverse torque and reverting the
energy back to the network.

Direct torque control has better torque control dynamics than the PI-current controller based·
vector control. Thus it suits better to servo control applications. However. it has some advantage
over other control methods in other applications as well because due to the faster control it has
better capabilities to damp mechanical resonances and thus extend the life of the mechanical

One type of induction motor, which incorporates' a starting device, is called a split-phase

INDUCTION MOTOR

I)
Another common single-phaseAC motor is the split-phase 'induction motor,ISI commonly used in
• major appliances such as washing machines and clothes dryers. Compared to the shaded pole
'motor, these motors can generally provide much greater starting torque by using a- special startup
winding in conjunction with a centrifugal switch.
.
..
In the split-phase motor, the startup winding is designed with
a higher resistance than the running
.
winding. This creates an LR circuit which slightly shifts the phase of the current in the startup
winding. When the motor is starting, the startup winding is connected to the power source via a
set of spring-loaded contacts pressed upon by the stationary centrifugal switch. The starting
winding is wound with fewer turns of smaller wire than the main winding, so it has a lower
inductance (L) and higher resistance (R). The lower LlR ratio creates a small phase shift. not
more than about 30 degrees, between the flux due to the main winding and the nux of the
starting winding. The starting direction of rotation 1l1;!) he re\ ersed simply b) exchanging the

The phase of the magnetic field in this startup winding is shifted from the phase of the mains
power, allowing the creation of a moving magnetic field which starts the motor. Once the motor
reaches near design operating speed, the centrifugal switch activates, opening the contacts and
disconnecting the startup winding from the power source. The motor then operates solely on the
.running winding. The starting winding must be disconnected since it would increase the losses in
the motor.

3.1 INTRODUCTION
A shaded-pole motor is a type of AC sin_gle-phaseinduction motor. It is basically a small squirrel
cage motor.in which the auxiliary winding is composed of
a, copper ring surrounding a portion of each pole.[11This
auxiliary winding is called a shading .coil. Currents in this
coil delay the phase of magnetic flux in that part 'of the
pole enough to provide a rotating magnetic field. The
direction of rotation is from the unshaded .side to the
shaded (ring) side of the pole. [2] The ~ffect produces only
a low starting torque compared to other classes of singlephase motors.
These motors have only one winding, no capacitor nor
starting switch, "making them economical and reliable.

A reversible shaded-pole motor was made by Barber-Colman several decades ago. It had a single
field coil, and 'two principal poles, each split halfway to create two pairs of poles. Each of these
four "half-poles" carried a coil, and the coils of diagonally-opposlte half-poles were connected to
a pair oftermimils. One tetminal of each pair was common, so only three terminalswere needed

The motor would not start with the tenninals open; connecting the common to one other made
the motor run.one way, and connecting common to the other.made it run the other way. These
motors were used in-industrial and scientific devices.
.An unusual, adjustable-speed, low-torque shaded-:pole motor could be found in traffic-light and
advertising ..lighting controllers. The pole faces were parallel and relatively close to each other,
with the disc centred between them; something like the disc·in a watthour meter. Each pole race
was split. and had a shading coil on one part; the shading coils were on the parts that faced each
other. -Both shading coils were probably closer to the main coil; they could have both been
farther away, without affecting the operating principle, just the direction of rotation.
Applying AC to the coil created a field that progressed in the gap between the poles. The plane
of the stator core was approximately tangential to an imaginary circle on the disc, so the
travelling magnetic field dragged the disc and made it rotate .

Like a shaded pole induction motor, they use field coils with additional copper shading coils (see
the illustration) to produce a weakly rotating magnetic field. But unlike a shaded pole induction
motor (which uses a squirrel' cage rotor), 'the synchronous version of this motor uses a
magnetized rotor. This rotor rotates synchronously with the 'rotating magnetic field: if the rotor

A further development dispenses with the shading rings altogether. The application of power
gives the magnetised rotor enough of a 'flick' to move it fast enough to establish synchronism. A
mechanical means prevents the rotor from starting in the wrong direction This design' will only
work satisfactorily if the standstill load is near to zero and has very little inertia.

Even by the standards of shaded pole' motors, the power output ~f these motors is usually very
low. Because there is often no explicit starting mechanism, the rotor of a motor operating from a
constant frequency mains supply must be very light so that it is capable of reaching running
, speed within one cycle of the mains frequency. Alternatively, the rotor may be provided V(ith a
squirrel, cage, so that the motor starts .like an induction motor, once the. rotor is pulled into
synchronism, with its magnet, the squirrel cage has 'no current induced in it and so plays no
further part in the operation.

The poles of shaded pole induction motor consist of slots, which are cut across the laminations.
The smaller part of the slotted pole is short-circuited with the help ofa coil. The coils are made
up of copper and it is highly inductive in nature. This coil is known as
shading coil The part of the pole which has the coilis called the shaded

Now let tis consider that an alternating current is passed through the
excited winding which surrounds the pole. Due to the presence of
shading coil, the axis of the pole shift from unshuded part to shaded
part. This shifting effect is equivalent to the physical movement of the
poles, which is' nothing but the rotation of poles. So the rotor starts
rotating in the direction of the shift from unshaded pan to shaded pan.

Why Magnetic Axis ShiftTakes Place?

Now let us discuss why the axis shift occurs when current is
passed through the winding and how the shading coil ~ds in
producing the shift.The current carried by, stator' winding ,
produces alternating flux. The-distribution of flux through the
poles is greatly influenced bythe shadingcoils.
#",...<,'

isildvanl'(
,When the alternating current through the .coil increases, it .induces a
'current in the shading coil. The direction of current in shading coil is
such as to oppose the cause producing it (from Leriz law). The cause is
the alternating current. So the flux in the shading Coil decreases and it
opposes die main flux. Hence the flux mostly crowds or shifts towards
the unshaded part of the 'pole. So the 'magnetic axis Iies along: the
middle of the uiishaded part.It is denoted, as Nein the picturebelow.
'
' ""'.
No~ consider that the a\tem~ting current has reached its peak (or)
somewhere near th,e peak..He~ tM rafei>f change of current is low, as ,
it has already reached the peak (or) it is very close to peak value. Since
the change is current is sosmall, the induced current at shading ring is
also small and negligible. So the shading ring does not affect the
distribution .of main flux. The flux is distributed uniformly and the
magnetic axis lies .at the center of pole face.The magnetic axis is
-denoted as ND in the picture,
.
The alternating current, after reaching the peak starts to decrease
rapidly and in turn decreases the main flux, The 'change in current induces a current in shading
coil. According to Lenz 'law the direction of this current is so as to oppose the cause p~uciDg it
(the decreasing alternating current). So theflux in shading coil oppOses the decrease in main flux
and strengthens it. This' increases the strength
main flux in ·th~ shaded part. SO the magnetic
axis shifts itself to the middle part of shaded pole.The magnetic axis denoted as NE in the picture
below.
"
of
So it is quite 'clear that during the positive half cycle of the alternating
, current, North Pole shifts from unshaded part to shaded pint and during
the negative -half cycle, the South Pole shifts along, from unshaded part
to shaded part. This effect is nothing but the rotation of poles from left
to right.
.
Thus shaded coils aids in producing the rotating flux and thus the single
phase Induction motor is converted into self starting one using the Shading coil. Due to fixed of
position of shading coils, the direction of rotation 'Ofsuch .motors cannot be changed.

In this motor, small single-tum copper "shading coils" create the moving magnetic field.

4.6 GLOSSARY
I
A universal motor is one that operates on' either single-phase ac or de power. These motors are
normally made In sizes ranging from 1/200 to 113 horsepower.
You can get them in larger sizes for special ccnditions. The fractional horsepower sizes are used
on vacuum cleaners, sewing machines, food n.ixers, and power hand tools. The salient-pole type
is the most popular type of universal motor. The salient-pole type consists of a. stator with two
concentrated field windings, a wound rotor, a commutator, and brushes. The stator and rotor
windings in this motor are connected in series with the power source. There are two carbon
brushes that remain on the commutator at all times. These two brushes are used to connect the
rotor windings in series with the field windings and the power source (fig. 7-35). The universal
motor does not operate at a constant.speed. The motor runs as 'fast as the load permits; i. e., low
speed with a heavy load and high speed with a light load. Universal motors have the highest
horsepower-to-weight ratio of all the types of electric motors.
The operation of a universal motor is much like a series de motor. Since the field winding and
armature are connected in series, both the field winding and armature winding are energized
when voltage is applied to the motor. Both windings produce magnetic fields which react to each
other and cause the armature to rotate. The reaction between magnetic fields is caused by either
ac or dc power.
4.2 WORKING PRINCIPLES
A series-wound motor is referred to as a universal motor when it has been designed to operate on
either AC or DC power. The ability to operate on AC is because the current in both the field and
the armature (and hence the resultant magnetic fields) will alternate (reverse polarity) III
synchronism. and hence the resulting mechanical force will occur in a constant direction.
131
. t
\ffl;~',"
Operating at normal power line frequencies, universal motors arc often found in a range rarely
larger than 1000 watt. Universal motors also form the basis of the traditional railway traction
motor in electric railways, In this application, the use of AC to power a motor originally
designed to run on DC would lead to efficiency losses due to eddy current heating of their
magnetic components, particularly the motor field pole-pieces that, for DC, would have used
solid (un-laminated)
iron. Although the heating effects are reduced by using laminated polepieces, as used for the cores of transformers and by the use of laminations of high permeability
electrical steel, one solution available' at start of the 20th century was for the motors to be
operated from very low frequency AC supplies, with 25 and 16.7 Hz operation being common.
Because they used universal motors, locomotives using this design were also commonly capable
of operating from a third rail powered by DC.
.
An advantage of the universal motor is that AC supplies may be .used on motors which have
some characteristics more common in DC motors, specifically high starting torque and very
compact design if high running speeds are used. The negative, aspect is the maintenance and
short life problems caused by the commutator. Such motors are used in devices such as food
.mixers and power tools which are used only intermittently, and often have high starting-torque
demands. Continuous speed control of a universal motor running on AC is easily obtained by use
of a thyristor circuit, while multiple taps on the fteleJ coil provide (imprecise) stepped speed
control. -Household blenders that advertise many speeds frequently combine a field coil with
severaltaps and a di~e that can be inserted in series withthe rndtor (causing the motor to run on
half-wave'rectified AC): .
..'
..
Induction motors can't turn faster than alhwed by the power line frequency, By contrast,
universal motors generally run at high speeds, making them useful for appliances such as
blenders, vacuum cleaners, and hair dryers where high speed and light weight is desirable. They
are also commonly used in portable power t601s, such as drills, sanders, circular and jig saws,
where the motor's characteristics work ~ell, Many vacuum cleaner and .weed trimmer motors
exceed IO,OOORPM,while Drernel and other similar miniature grinders win often exceed 30,000
RPM:
'
Universal motors also lend themselves to electronic speed control and, as such, are an ideal
choice for domestic washing machines. The motor can be used to agitate the drum (both
forwards and in reverse) by switching the field winding with respect to the armature. The motor
can, also be run up to the high speeds required for the spin cycle.
.
'
.
Motor damage may occur from overspeeding (running at an rotational speed in excess of design
limits) if (he unit is operated with no significant load. On iarger motors, sudden loss of load is to
be avoided, and the possibility of such an occurrence is incorporated into the motor's protection
and control schemes. In some smaller applications, a fan blade attached to the shaft often acts as
an artificialload to limit the motor speed to a safe level, as well as a means to circulate cooling
airflow over the armature and field windings.

INTRODUCTION
The U.S. motor industry has worked on a standardized basis for more than three-quarters of a
century. The standardization agency - National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA)
_ was established in 1926 " ... to promote the standardization of electrical apparatus and
supplies." As a result of this group's efforts, .you can expect "standard" motors from different
maQufacturers to meet or exceed minimum performance parameters and, for the most part. be
about the 'same size.
A critical part of making motors interchangeable is ensuring that nameplate infonnation is
common among manufacturers. TIle' common language of the motor nameplate enableinstallation and maintenance personnel to quickly understand and recognize exactly what tYpl?of
motor they're dealing with during a new installation or replacement procedure.

Motors are designed to yield optimal performance when operating at a specific voltage Ievcl. or a
combination of voltage levels in the case of dual-voltage or tri-voltage motors. This 'value is
known as the nameplate voltage. In recognition of the fact that voltage changes on your power
distributIOn system occur due to changing load conditions within your facility and on the utility
supply that feeds your facility, motors are designed with a tOo/c tolerance for voltage above and
below the rated nameplate value. Thus, a motor with a rated nameplate voltage of 460V should
be expected to operate successfully between 414V and 506V.
2.2.2 RATED FULL-LOAD AMPERAGE
As the torque load on a motor increases. the amperage required to power the motor ;,i1:-()
increases. When the full-load torque and horsepower is reached. the corresponding amperage 1:1:19
known as the full-load amperage (FLA). This value is determined by laboratory tests; the value is
usually rounded up slightly and recorded as the nameplate value. Rounding up allows for
manufacturing variations that can occur and some normal voltage variations that might increase
the full-load amps of the motor. The nameplate FLA is used to select the correct wire size, motor
starter, and overload protection devices necessary to serve and protect the motor.
2.2.3 FllliQUENCY
To operate successfully, the motor frequency must match the power system (supply)frequency~
In North America, this' frequency is 60 Hz (cycles). In other parts of the world, the frequency
may be 50 or 60 Hz.'

SPEED
equip.l
This is the motor's approximate speed under full-load conditions, when voltage .and frequency
are at the 'rated values. A somewhat lower value than the actual laboratory test result figures is
usually stamped on the nameplate because ithis value can change slightly due to factors like
manufacturing tolerances, motor temperature, and voltage variations. On standard' induction
motors, the full-load speed is typically 96% to 99% of the no-load speed.
2.2.6 ~NSULATION CLASS AND RATED AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
A critical element in motor life is the maximum temperature that occurs at the hottest spot in the
motor. The temperature that Occurs at that spot is a combination of motor design (temperature
rise) and the- ambient (surrounding) temperature. The standard way of indicating these
. components is by showing the allowable maximum ambient temperature, usually 40°C (104°F),
and the class of insulation used in the design of the motor. Available classes are B, E and H.

2.2.7 RATED HORSEPOWER
Horse power is the measure of how much work a motor can be expected to do. This value is
based on the motor's full-load torque and full-load speed ratings and is calculated as follows:
Horsepower (hp)=[Motor SpeedxTorque (Ib-ft)).;.-5,2S0
The standardized NEMA table of motor horsepower ratings runs from ) hp to 450 hp. If a load's
actual horsepower requirement falls between two standard horsepower ratings, you should

Standard motors are rated for continuous duty (2417) at their rated load and maximum ambient
temperature. Specialized motors can be designed for "short-time" requirements where
intermittent duty is all that's needed. These motors can carry a'short-time rating from 5 minutes
to 60 minutes. The NEMA definition for short-time motors is as follows: "All short-time ratings
are based upon corresponding short-time load tests, .which shall commence only when the
windings .and other parts of the motor are within SoC of the ambient temperature at the time of
the' test." By using short-time ratings, it's possible to reduce the size, weight, and cost of the
motor required for certain applications. For example, you may choose to install an induction
motor with a I5-minute rating to power a pre-operation oil pump used to pre-lube a gas turbine
unit because it would be unusual for this type of motor to be operated for more than 15 minutes

When AC motors are started with full voltage applied, they create an inrush current that's usually
many times greater than the value of the full-load current. The value of this high current can be

normally withi? the correct voltage tolerances. For example, the standard SF for open drip-proof
(ODP) motors IS 1.15. This means that a 10-hp motor with a 1. I 5 SF could provide 11.5hp when
required for short-term use. Some fractional horsepower motor's have higher service factors, such
as 1.25, 1.35, and even 1.50. In general, it's not a good practice to size motors to operate
continuously above rated load in the service factor area. Motors may not provide adequate
starting and pull-out torques, and incorrect starter/overload sizing is possible.
Traditionally, totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) motors had an SF of 1,0, but most
manufacturers now offer TEFC motors with service factors of 1.15, the same as on ODP motors.
Most hazardous location motors are made with an SF of 1.0, but some specialized units are
avail~ble for Class Iapplications with a service factor of 1.15.

As energy costs have increased, conservation efforts have become more important to commercial
and industrial operations. As a result, it's become important to have full-load efficiency
. information readily available on motor nameplates. The efficiency is given as a percentage and
indicates how well the motor converts electrical power into mechanical power. The closer this
value is to 100%, the lower the elecVicity consumption cost is going to be.
.
.
Generally, larger motors will be mote efficient than smaller motors. Today's premium effici \::y.
3-phase motors have efficiencies ranging from 86.5% at 1 hp to 95.8% at 300 hp. The efficiency
value that appears on the nameplate is the nominal full-load efficiency as determined using a .
very accurate dynamometer and a procedure described by IEEE Stand:.rd 112, Method E The
nominal value is what the average would be if a substantial number of identical motors were
tested and the average of the batch were determined. Some motors might have a higher value and'
others might be lower, but the average of all units tested is shown as the nominal nameplate
value.
Guaranteed minimum is another efficiency that's sometimes noted on a nameplate. This value is
determined from a mathematical relationship that assumes that the worst efficiency of any motor
in the batch _ used to determine the average (nominal) value - could have losses as much as
20% higher than the average. As a result, each nominal efficiency value would have a
corresponding minimum efficiency value. You can view these values. in Table 12-8 in NEMA

3.1 INTRODUCTION
This Energy-Efficient Electric Motor Selection Handbook (Handbook) contains guidelines to
help you identify motors that are candidates for replacement with energy-efficient electric
motors. Using readily available infonnation such as motor nameplate capacity, operating hours,
and electricity price you can quickly determine the simple payback that would result from
selecting and operating an energy-efficient motor. Using energy-efficient motors can reduce your
operating costs in several ways. Not only does. saving energy reduce your monthly electrical bill,
'it can postpone or eliminate the need to expand the electrical supply system capacity within your
facility. On a larger scale, installing energy conserving devices allows your electrical utility to
defer building expensive new generating plants, resulting in lower costs for you, the consumer.
Energy-efficient motors are higher quality motors, with increased reliability and longer
manufacturer's warantees, providing savings in reduced downtime, replacement and
maintenance costs. Saving this energy and money requires the proper selection and use of
energy-efficient motors. I There are three general opportunities for choosing energy-efficient
motors:
I) when purchasing a new motor,
2) in place of rewinding failed motors. and

3.2 INDUSTRIAL MOTOR POPULATIONS
AND USES
In 1987, industrial sector use of electricity in the Northwest amounted to 6,062 average
megawatts (MWa). This is equivalent to 38.8 percent of
region's 15.618 MWa of total
electricity sales to final consumers. Five industries-food, ehemicals, paper; lumber,' and metalsaccounted for-more than 90 percent of the region' s industrial use of eleCtricity3 A 1988 study of
possible industrial sector energy conservation measures revealed a potential of approximately
345 MWa of-energy savings, with changeouts of standard to energy-efficient motors accounting
.. for 52.7 MWa or 15:2 percent of the total savings.4 Replacing standard with energy-efficient

Motor Performance
and Price
The efficiency of a motor is the ratio of the mechanical power output to the electrical power"
input. This may be expressed as:
.-
=
.Output Efficiency =Output Input-Losses=
Input Input Output + Losses
Design changes, better materials, and manufacturing improvements reduce motor losses, making
premium or energy-efficient motors more efficient than standard motors. Reduced losses mean
that an energy-efficient motor produces a given amount of work with less energy
input than a standard motor.2 In 1989, the' National Electrical Manufacturers Associ at ion
(NEMA) developed a standard definition for-energy- efficient motors'. The definition, designed
to help users identify and compare electric motor efficiencies -on an equal basis, includes a table
of minimum nominal full-load efficiency values." A motor's performance must equal or exceed
the nominal efficiency levels given in Table 2 for it to be classified as "energy-efficient"
Nominal full-load efficiencies for currently available energy-efficient and standard motors are
shown in Figure 3. Figure 3 clearly indicates that the NEMA standards are easy for motor
manufacturers to exceed. In fact, most motors on the market qualify as "high-efficiency"
machines. It is also apparent that you can improve efficiency hy as much as (1 points through

simply buying a "premium-efficiency"
motor, one whose peiformance lies near the top of the
range of available efficiencies, rather than one that just meets the NEMA minimum standard.
Frequently, one manufacturer's energy-efficient motor performs with approximately the same
efficiency as another manufacturer's standard unit. Average nominal efficiencies and 1990 list
prices for standard and energy- efficient motors are summarized in Table 3.
'In order to help you identify, evaluate, and procure energy- efficient motors, the Washington
State Energy Office has prepared a motor performance database. The
database contains t'ull- and' part-load nominal efficiencies. and power factors for approximately
2,700, 5- to 300-hp NEMA Design B 'polyphase motors. Information contained in the 'database .
was extracted from manufacturers' catalogs with each manufacturer given an opportunity to
review performance information for accuracy. Users can query the database toproduce a
listing, ranked in order of descending full-load efficiency, for all motors within a stated size,
speed, ana enclosure classification. A sample database listing is shown in Table 4. The database
also contains the manufacturers' name, motor model, full-load RPM, service factor, frame size,
and list price. Note that the nominalfull-load motor efficiencies vary from. 86.5 to 9'3.2 percent.
Prices also vary. In many cases, motors with identical list prices exhibit very different efficiency
ratings.

A motor's function is to convert electrical energy to mechanical energy to perform.useful work .
. The only way to improve motor efficiency is-to reduce motor losses. Even though standard
motors operate efficiently, with typical efficiencies ranging between 8'1 and 92 percent, energyefficientmotors perform significantly better. An efficiency gain from only 92 to 94 percent
results in a 25 Percent reduction in losses. 'Since motor losses result in heat rejected into the
atmosphere, reducing losses can significantly reduce cooling loads on an industrial facility's air
conditioning system. Motor energy losses can be segregated into five major areas, each of which
.is intluenced by design and construction decisions.S One design consideration, for example, is
the size of the air gap between the 'rotor and the stator. Large air gaps tend to maximize
efficiency at the expense of power factor, while small air gaps slightly compromise efficiency
while significantly improving power factor. to Motor losses may be categorized asthose which
are fixed, occurring whenever the motor is energized, and remaining constant for a given voltage
and speed, and those which are variable' and increase with motor load. I I These losses are
described below.
I .Core loss represents energy required to magnetize the core material (hysteresis) and includes losses
due to creation of eddy currents that flow in the core. Core losses are decreased through the use
of improved permeability electromagnetic (silicon) steel and by lengtheningthe core to reduce
magnetic flux densities. Eddy Current losses are decreased by using thinner steel laminations.
2. Windage and fricti~n losses occur due to bearing friction and air resistance. Improved
bearing selection, air-flow. and fan design are employed to reduce these losses. In an energy-

Any motor can be used as a generator and any generator will motor under the proper
Circumstances. The purpose of this paper is to describe the connections required to convert the
, two most common types ofinduction motors intoAC generators.
The two types of motors most readily Converted are three phase Squirrel cage Induction ~otors
and capacitor start single-phase induction motors.
Although, the connections are different, both types of machines exhibit similar operating
characteristics. Below is an outline form applying to either type.of generator? The instruction, for
" connecting the machines and small parts that you will need are discussed later.

STEP' 2- Connect the machine 'by belt or other-suitable means to a Source of mechanical power
such as it gasoline engine. Tum the machine at about its nameplate speed.' Most machines will be
either about 1800 RPM or about 3600 RPM.
STEP 3- With no loads of any kind connected to the. generator, its voltage should build-up
.fusually a faint generator hum is audible). If you are using a Single-phase machine, be sure it is
turning the same direction that it turned as a motor, Build up can be checked by momentarily
connecting a light bulb across theoutput terminals to check for power.
STEP 4- Reduce generator Speed until the machine will just keep the light bulb lit. You will find
below this Speed, the generator will simply stop generating.
.
-
STEP 5- with the generator Operating at minimum speed where it continued (0 generate, connect
a light bulb load to the averageload for the generator. If you have been using a smaller load to
test for generator build-up, it may' be necessary, to increase the Speed 'a hit 10 maintain generati ng
~~.
'
STEP 6- set the generator speed by checking the generators output voltage. The faster you turn
the generator the higher its voltage will become, etc. If a voltmeter is not available, a sirnple
method is to compare the brightness of two bulbs of the same type. one plugged into the
generator and the other plugged into the wall. The speed is about right when the bulbs arc
equally bright.
149
r
RA TING- your generator can be rated at 500 watts per motor horse- power, This is a
comfortable rating and allows for some short time Overload capacity. When selecting the loads
for the generator remember that most electric motors require six to ten times their rated power
when starting. As' an example, a 1/3HP-freezer motor may require up to 3 HP worth of
generating capacity to start it. High Speed portable tool motors are the .main exception. These
Series wound motors usually start quite successfully at 2 or 3 times their rated power current at
rated voltage) level, Motor loads are best estimated by multiplying their nameplate volts times
nameplate amps. This product is really V\ but can be used safely as watts for the purpose of
generator rating. Your generator will produce sine wave power generally at a frequency slightly
below'60 HZ. An eJectricdock with a second hand will read the exact frequency in seconds in
one' minute.
.
I. You are generating lethal voltages- use appropriate care.
2- The generator will pot build-up its voltage when loaded. It must alwaysbe started 'with no
load connected.
"
.
3- Running the generator at speeds higher than the nameplate rating-may generate very high
voltages and cause the capacitors to explode or the machine to flash over inside and catch fire.
Speeds in excess 0\ 4000 RPM may even cause the rotor to fly apart in~id~ the \nachine.
4- DonOt leave the generalor unattended until it has run about 2 hours without overheati ng. A
safe motor temperature is :when'you can barely hold your hand on the generator for 5- ,I 0 se~onds
and no hot or oily smell is coming from the machine. .
.
Faults or dead shorts may be placed on the generator without 'harm since it will simply stop
generating.
.'
. .
:.
TROUBLE SHOOTING- If the generator will not build-up voltage when initially operated at or
near nameplate speed, the capacitors may be too small, If single phase it may be turning
backwards, the connections may be incorrect, the machine may be faulty or the iron in the
machine may have lost its residual magnetism and need to be flashed. All the fixes are evident
except flashing. To flash it' momentarily, connect a car battery across the generator output
. terminals while it is running full speed Owith no loadO. ONE second is more than enough time
to flash the machine.
MACHINE SELECfION:=Either a three-phase squirrel cage induction motor or a capacitor type
motor may be used.
.
.-
Of the two choices, the old three-phase motor makes .a better selection. These usually can be
located in motor .shops, junkyards, etc. for very little investment. The size machine to use
depends on the rating you need from the generator but generally should not exceed about 10 HP
for a three-phase machine or 3 HP for a single-phase machine, Poor
results can be expected below about 1I2HP for three phase or 116 HP for single phase, The best
generators are machines rated at 1700 RPM or higher. Lower speed machines can be used, but
will require larger capacitors.

THEORY OF OPERATION- For either type of machine, capacitors will be used to provide
excitation to the machine. The excitation magnetizes the machineOs rotor. The magnetized rotor
moving past the windings generates vo I tage in the windings. The-machine voltage and frequency
are determined by how many turns are in the.windings, how fast the rotor turns and how much
load is applied to the generator.

STEP 2- Carefully disassemble the motor. Inside, attached to one end bell of the machine, will
be a centrifugal switch mechanism. This starting switch will have contacts such that the circuit it
controls opens when the machine speeds up. Solder a short section of insulated wire around this '
switch so that the circuit the switch controls is permanently engaged.

STEP 3- Carefully reassemble the motor watching that no wires are where they will be hit by
moving machine parts or cut by the end bells as you assemble the motor.

have two capacitors hooked together. A few motors have thecapacitors located inside an end bell

A starter motOr (also starting motor, or starter) is an electric

HISTORY
Typical starter installed underneath and toward the rear of an automobile engine both OUo cycle
and Diesel cycle internal-combustion engines require the pistons ,to be moving before the

,.
\
ignition phase of the cycle, This means that the engine must be set in motion by an external force
before it can power itself.
Originally, a hand crank was used to start engines, but it was inconvenient.
difficult, and
dangerous to crank-start an engine, EVen though cranks had an overrun mechanism, when the
engine started, the crank could begin to spin along with. the crankshaft and potentially strike the
person cranking the engine. Additionally, care had to be taken to retard the spark in, order to
prevent backfiring; with an advanced spark setting, the engine could ,kick back (run in reverse),
pulling the crank with it, because the overrun safety mechanism works in.one
direction only,

could delive> enough power to crank the engine for starting. At 'the voltage and current levels
required, such a motor would bum out in a few minutes of continuous operation, but notduring
the few seconds needed to start the engine. The starters -were first. installed by Cadillac on
production models in 1912. These starters also worked as 'generators once the engine was
running," a concept that is now being revived in hybrid vehicles. The Model T relied on hand
cranks until 1919; by 1920 most manufacturers included self-starters, thus ensuring that anyone,
regardless of strength or physical handicap, could easily start a car with an internal combustion

starting battery is applied to the solenoid, usually through a key-operated switch, the solenoid
engages a lever that pushes out the drive pinion on the starter driveshaft and meshes the pinion
with the starter ring gear on the flywheel of the engine.
The solenoid also closes, high-current contacts for the starter .rnotor, which begins to turn. Once
the engine starts, the key-operated switch is opened, a spring in the solenoid assembly pulls the
pinion gear away from the ring gear, and the starter motor stops. The starter's pinion is clutched
to its driveshaft through an overrunning sprag dutch which permits the pinion totransmit drive
in only one direction. In this manner.drive.is transmitted through the pinion to the flywheel ring
gear, but if the pinion remains engaged (as for example because the operator fails to release the
key as soon as the engine starts, or if there is a short and the solenoid remains engaged), the
pinion will spin independently of its driveshaft. This prevents the engine driving the starter, for.
such backdrive would cause the starter to spin so fast as ~o f1¥ apart. However, this .spragclutch
arrangement would .preclude ,.the.use of the starter as a generator if employed in .hybrid scheme
mentioned above, unless modifications .are made. Also, a standard starter lTIotoris only desi gned
, for intermittent use' which would preclude its use as, it generator; the electrical component~ are
designed only to operate for typically, under ~O seconds before overheating (by too-slow
dissipation of heat from ohmic losses), to save weight and cost. ThIS is the same reason why
most automobile owner's manuals instruct the operator to pause for at least ten seconds after each
. ten or fifteen seconds of cranking the engine, when trying to start an engine that does not stan
immediately. ,.
'
This overrunning-clutch pinion arrangement was phased into use beginning in the early 1960s;
before that time, a Bendix drive was used. The Bendix system places the starter drive pinion on a
helically-cut driveshaft. When the starter motor begins turning, the inertia of the drive pinion
assembly causes it to ride forward on the helix and thus engage with the ring gear. When the
engine starts, backdrivefrom the ring gear causes the drive pinion to exceed the rotative speed of
the starter, at which point the drive pinion is forced back down the helical shaft and thus out of
mesh with the ring gear.
An intermediate development between the Bendix drive developed in the 19305 and 'the
overrunning-clutch designs introduced in the 1960s was the Bendix Folo-Thru drive. The
standard Bendix drive would disengage from the ring gear as soon as the engine fired, even if it
did not continue to run. The Folo-Thru drive contains a latching mechanism and a set of
flyweights in the body' of the drive unit. When the starter motor begins turning and the drive unit
is forced forward on the helical shaft by inertia, it is-latched into the engaged position. Only once
the drive unit is spun at a speed higher than that.attained by the starter motor itself (i.e., it is
backdriven by the running engine) will the flyweights pull radially outward, releasing the latch.
and permitting the overdriven drive unit to be spun out of engagement. In this manner, unwanted
starter disengagement is avoided before a successful engine stall,

Chrysler Corporation contributed materially to the modern development of the starter motor. In
1962, Chrysler introduced a 'starter incorporating a geartrain 'between the motor and the driveshaft. Rolls Royce had introduced a conceptually similar starter in 1946, but Chrysler's was'
tlie first volume-production unit. The motor shaft has integrally-cut gear teeth forming a ,drive
gear which mesh with .a larger adjacent driven gear to provide a gear reduction ratio of 3;75: I..
This permits the use of a higher-speed, lower-current: lighter and mote compact motor assembly
while increasing cranking toique.[2] Variants of this starter design were used on most vehicles
produced bfChry,sler Corporation from 1962 through 1987. The Ch:yster st~er.made a unique,
readily identifiable seund when cranking the engine.
"
This starter f6nned the design basis for the offset gear reduction starters now employed by about
half the vehicles on the road, and the conceptual basis for virtually all of them. Many Japanese
automakers phased in gear reduction starters in the 1970s and 19.80s. Light aircraft engines also
made-extensive use of this kind of starter, because its light weight offered an advantage.
Those starters not employing offset geartrains like the Chrysler unit generally employ planetary
epicyclic geartrains instead. Direct-drive starters are almost entirely obsolete owing to their
larger size, heavier weight and higher current requirements. Ford also issued a nonstandard
starter, a, direct-drive "movable pole shoe" design that provided cost reduction rather than
electrical or mechanical benefits. This type or"starter eliminated the solenoid, replacing it with a
movable pole shoe and a separate starter relay. The Ford,starter operated as follows:

This starter was used on Ford vehicles from 1973 through 1990, when a gear-reduction unit
conceptually similar to the Chrysler unit replaced it: Light motor vehicles have now adopted 9.6

current starter will give increased torque, but will tend to overheat and burn out with prolonged

On larger diesel generators found in lar&eshore installations and especially on ships, a pneumatic
'Starting gear is used. The air motor is normally powered by compressed air at pressures of 10-JO
bar. The air motor is made up of a center drum about the size ofa soup can with four or more
slots cut into jt to allow for the vanes to be placed radially 0.1 the drum to form chambers around
the drum. The drum is offset inside a round casing so that tne inlet air for starting is admitted at
the area where the drum and vanes form a small chamber compared to the. others. The
coin pressed air can only expand by rotating the drum which allows the small chamber to become
larger and puts another one of the cainbers in the air inlet. The air motor spins much 100 fast to
be used directly on the flywheel of the engine, instead a large .gearing reduction such as a
planetary gear is used to lower the output speed. A Bendix gear is used to engage theflywheel.

PNEUMATIC STARTER
Some gas turbine engines arid 'Diesel engines, particularly on trucks, use a pneumatic self-starter.
The system consists of a geared turbine, an air compressor and a pressure tank. Compressed air
released from the tank is used to spin the turbine, and through a set of reduction gears, engages
the ring gear on the flywheel, much like an electric starter. The engine, once running, powers the
compressor to recharge the tank.

On large diesel generators and almost all diesel engines used as the prime mover of ships will use
compressed air acting directly on the cylinder head. This is not ideal for smaller 'diesels as it .
provides too much cooling on starting. Also the cylinder head needs to have enough space to
support an extra valve for the air start system. The air start system operates very similar to a
distributor in a car, There is an air distributor that is geared to the camshaft of the diesel engine,
on the top of the air distributor is a single lobe similar to what is found on a camshaft. Arranged
radially around this lobe are roller tip followers for every cylinder. When the lobe of the air,
distributor hits one of the followers. it will send an air signal that acts upon the back of the air
start valve located. in the cylinder head causing it to open. The actual compressed airis provided
from a large reservoir that feeds into a header located along the engine. As soon as the air start
valve is opened the compressed air is admitted and the engine will begin turning. It"can be used
on 2-cycle and 4-cyde engines and on reversing engines. On large 2-stroke engines less than one
revolution of the crankshaft i~;needed for starting.
Since large trucks typically use air brakes, the system does double duty. supplying compressed
air to the brake system. Pneumatic starters have the advantages of delivering high torque,

Electric starter
•
•
The modem starter motor is ejther a permanent-magnet or a series-parallel wound direct
current electric motor with a starter solenoid (similar to a relay) mounted on it. '
When current from the starting batteryis applied to the solenoid, usually through' a keyoperated switch, the solenoid' engages a lever that pushes out the drive pinion on the
starter driveshaft and meshes the pinion with the starter ring gear on the flywheel of the
engine .:
•
The solenoid also doses high-current contacts for the starter motor, which begins to tum.
Once the engine starts, the key-operated' switch is opened, a spring in 'the solenoid
assembly pulls the pinion gear away from the ring gear, and the starter motor stops.
•
The starter's pinion is clutched to its 'driveshaft through an overrunning sprag clutch
which permits the pinion to transmit drive in only one direction.
