Cleat wiring
In this type of wiring, insulated conductors (usually VIR, Vulcanized Indian Rubber)
are supported on porcelain or wooden cleats. The cleats have two halves one base
and the other cap. The cables are placed in the grooves provided in the base and
then the cap is placed. Both are fixed securely on the walls by 40mm long screws.
The cleats are easy to erect and are fixed 4.5 – 15 cms apart. This wiring is suitable
for temporary installations where cost is the main criteria but not the appearance.
Advantages:
Easy installation
Materials can be retrieved for reuse
Flexibility provided for inspection, modifications and expansion.
Relatively economical
Skilled manpower not required.
Disadvantages:
Appearance is not good
Open system of wiring requiring regular cleaning
Higher risk of mechanical injury.

Advantages:
Easy installation and is durable
Lower risk of short circuit.
Cheaper than casing and capping system of wiring
Gives a good appearance if properly erected.
Disadvantages:
Danger of mechanical injury.
Danger of fire hazard.
Should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
Skilled workmen are required.

Contd…
Advantages:
Cheaper than lead sheathed and conduit wiring.
Provides good isolation as the conductors are placed apart reducing the risk
of short circuit.
Easily accessible for inspection and repairs.
Since the wires are not exposed to atmosphere, insulation is less affected by
dust, dirt and climatic variations.
Disadvantages:
Highly inflammable.
Usage of unseasoned wood gets damaged by termites.
Skilled workmanship required.
Advantages:
No risk of fire and good protection against mechanical injury.
The lead and return wires can be carried in the same tube.
Earthing and continuity is assured.
Water proof and trouble shooting is easy.
Shock- proof with proper earthing and bonding
Durable and maintenance free
Aesthetic in appearance
Disadvantages:
Very expensive system of wiring.
Requires good skilled workmanship.
Erection is quiet complicated and is time consuming.
Risk of short circuit under wet conditions (due to condensation of water in tubes).

a revolving rotor
composed of punched laminations, stacked to create a series of
rotor slots, providing space for the rotor winding
one of two types of rotor windings
conventional 3-phase windings made of insulated wire (wound-rotor)
» similar to the winding on the stator
aluminum bus bars shorted together at the ends by two aluminum
rings, forming a squirrel-cage shaped circuit (squirrel-cage)
Two basic design types depending on the rotor design
squirrel-cage: conducting bars laid into slots and shorted at
both ends by shorting rings.
wound-rotor: complete set of three-phase windings exactly as
the stator. Usually Y-connected, the ends of the three rotor wires
are connected to 3 slip rings on the rotor shaft. In this way, the
rotor circuit is accessible.

Principle of operation
This rotating magnetic field cuts the rotor windings and
produces an induced voltage in the rotor windings
Due to the fact that the rotor windings are short
circuited, for both squirrel cage and wound-rotor, and
induced current flows in the rotor windings
The rotor current produces another magnetic field
A torque is produced as a result of the interaction of
those two magnetic fields
ind kBR Bs
where ind is the induced torque and BR and BS are the
magnetic flux densities of the rotor and the stator
respectively

Induction motor speed
At what speed will the IM run?
Can the IM run at the synchronous speed, why?
If rotor runs at the synchronous speed, which is the
same speed of the rotating magnetic field, then the
rotor will appear stationary to the rotating magnetic
field and the rotating magnetic field will not cut the
rotor. So, no induced current will flow in the rotor
and no rotor magnetic flux will be produced so no
torque is generated and the rotor speed will fall
below the synchronous speed
When the speed falls, the rotating magnetic field
will cut the rotor windings and a torque is produced

Induction motor speed
So, the IM will always run at a speed lower
than the synchronous speed
The difference between the motor speed
and the synchronous speed is called the

Horse power
Another unit used to measure
mechanical power is the horse power
It is used to refer to the mechanical
output power of the motor
Since we, as electrical engineers, deal
with watts as a unit to measure electrical
power, there is a relation between horse
power and watts
hp 746 watts
