    AC Motors: AC Motors Convert AC Electrical Energy To Mechanical Energy

    Uploaded by

    Islam Fouad
    AC motors convert alternating current into mechanical energy by using a stator with electromagnets and a rotor that is either a wound coil or has a squirrel cage structure. As the alternating current changes direction in the stator electromagnets, it causes the magnetic poles in the rotor to revolve, resulting in rotation of the rotor. Different motor enclosures like open drip proof, totally enclosed non-ventilated, and totally enclosed fan cooled protect the motor from environmental factors like moisture or allow ventilation for cooling. The data plate provides key electrical and mechanical specifications for the motor.

    AC Motors

    AC motors convert AC electrical energy to Mechanical energy.

    AC motors:
    1. the armature of rotor is a magnet (different to DC motors). 2. the stator is formed by electromagnets (like in DC motors).

    Effects of AC Supply on Magnetic Poles


    Consider the rotor to be a permanent magnet. Current flowing through conductors energize the magnets and develop N and S poles. The strength of electromagnets depends on current. First half cycle current flows in one direction. Second half cycle it flows in opposite direction.

    As AC voltage changes, the poles alternate.

    AC Motor Rotation

    Limitation of the Elementary Motor


    The initial position of the rotor determines the direction of the motor rotation.

    Indicate the rotation in the figures below:

    Operation of the Practical AC Motor

    Magnetic Poles Revolve in AC Motors


    From the previous slide we can see that the poles rotate around the circumference of the motor. The rotor, no matter how it is positioned at rest, will be locked-in with the magnetic field and will turn in one direction only. (Same rotation as the poles).

    Reactor Start AC Motor (One phase + Inductor)


    Two parallel branches connected to the power supply. First branch: Start winding through a centrifugal switch. Second branch: Run winding (through an inductor). The current in the second branch lags the current in the first branch (Remember ELI). This phase difference makes motor work.

    Motor Construction The Stator


    The stator forms a hollow cylinder with coils of insulated wire inserted into slots of the stator core. The coils, plus the steel core form the electromagnets.

    Motor Construction The Rotor


    There are two types of motor rotors: The wound rotor The squirrel cage The wound rotor has coils of wire wound in the slots of the rotor. The Squirrel cage consists of bars of copper or aluminum electrically connected at each end with conducting rings.
    As the rotor rotates inside a magnetic field, it receives electromagnetic induction, then current flows and form the rotor electromagnet.
