Lecture - 2 - Torque-Speed Characteristics of 3-Phase IM

This document discusses torque-slip characteristics and speed control of 3-phase induction motors. It defines the torque-slip characteristic as important and shows the per-phase equivalent circuit and Thevenin equivalent circuit. It then derives equations for torque developed, maximum torque, starting torque, and plots the torque-slip characteristic. Methods for speed and torque control are also summarized, including pole-changing, variable frequency, variable voltage, variable rotor resistance, and solid-state control.

Objectives/Targets
1. Limit starting current to safe value less than 5 to 6 times full-load current
2. High starting torques required for certain application

Methods
Rotor-resistance Starting when high starting torques are required. Applicable
for wound rotor IM
Direct online Starting suitable for small IM <10 hp
Reduced voltage starting by means of wye-delta starter : A machine designed
for delta operation is connected in wye during the starting period, and later
changed to delta when the motor gains sufficient speed.
Autotransformer starting: Reduced voltage is applied during starting and fullvoltage is applied when the motor gains sufficient speed.
Stator-impedance starting: Series impedance or resistance is inserted in the lines
to limit the starting current. These resistances are shorted out when the motor
gains speed.

Speed and Torque Control of Three-phase Induction Motor


Induction motor finds wide applications in industry
Induction motor is essentially a constant-speed machine
Techniques for easy and efficient variation of speed over a wide range of
operating conditions is highly desirable for many application
The speed of three-phase induction motor (IM) is given by

n (1 s )ns (1 s )

120 f
P

where,
s slip
f supply frequency, Hz
P Number of poles

This suggests that the speed of IM can be varied by varying either s, or f or P. Indeed
all methods of speed control involve some degree of sacrifice in performance, cost,
and simplicity.
The following are methods available for speed and torque control of induction motors.
Pole-changing method - Machine with two stator windings arranged for different
number of poles
Variable-frequency method
Variable-line-voltage method
Variable-rotor-resistance method
Rotor slip-frequency control
Rotor slip-energy recovery method
Control by auxiliary devices (Kramer control, Scherbius control, Schrage motor)
Solid-state control - variable-terminal-voltage control, variable-frequency control,
rotor resistance control for wound-rotor motors, injecting voltage into rotor circuit of
wound-rotor motors
