Experiment No. 11: Basic Electrical Lab (PEE-151/251) Graphic Era University, Dehradun

The document describes an experiment to reverse the direction of rotation of a 3-phase induction motor by changing the phase sequence of the motor. The experiment uses a 3-phase induction motor, DOL starter, and tachometer. It explains that reversing any two of the three supply phases will reverse the direction of rotation, as this changes the phase sequence of the stator current and thus the direction of torque. The procedure involves starting the motor, loading it, then interchanging two supply phases and observing the reversal of rotation direction while other parameters remain the same. Precautions for safety and tight connections are also outlined.

Theory:
Three phase Induction Motor:
A machine that converts 3-phase a.c. electrical power into mechanical power by using
an electromagnetic induction phenomenon is called as three phase induction motor. The
3-phase IM are usually built in small size. They are most commonly used a.c. motor used
in the industry because they have simple & rugged construction, low cost, high
efficiency, reasonably good power factor, self starting and low maintenance. Almost 90%
of mechanical power used in the industry is provided by 3-phase induction motor.
Working Principle:
At starting stationary rotor conductor cuts across the revolving magnetic field
produced by the stator, & an e.m.f. is induced in them by the electromagnetic induction
phenomenon. Current flows through the rotor conductors as they are short circuited &
produce rotor field. By the interaction of rotor & stator magnetic field torque develops &
rotor start rotating in the direction of applied field.
Reversal of direction of rotation of Induction Motor:
The direction of rotation of Induction Motor can be changed by changing the phase
sequence of the supply to the stator as by changing the phase sequence, IM torque is
reversed due to reversal of phase sequence of the stator current & hence the motor starts
rotating in opposite direction. The phase sequence can be changed by interchanging any
two supply wires i.e., R-Y-B is changed to R-B-Y.

Procedure:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram.
2. First we put the starter to the start position, when it gains approx 80% to 90% of
their rated speed throw it to the run position.
3. Load the machine by tightening the belt till this rated current start flowing.
4. Interchange the connection of any two phases and then repeat the above
procedure.

Direction of Rotation

Result:
It is found that when any two of the phases of three phase supply is interchanged,
then the direction of rotation is reversed but magnitude remains the same.

All the connections should be tight.


Never touch the live terminal during the experiment.
Before changing the connection, switch off the supply properly.
Increase the load carefully.
