THE 3 PHASE INDUCTION MACHINE • 60% of world's generated energy rotating machines • >90% of this induction machines • The induction machine consumes more of world’s generated electricity than any other piece of electrical equipment Power Range • 100-500W small fans • 1-50kW fans, pumps, conveyors, escalators • 500kW water pumping, coal cutting, • 1MW high speed train motor (eg. x4) • 10MW warship/cruise ship motor (X2)
A A A B’ C’ C B A’ A’ A’ Rotor (side view) Iron End rings Al bars Introduction – construction of cage IM VA • Stator has 3 windings AA’, BB’, CC’ wound 120apart in space • Stator windings connected to 3-phase mains at e = (2) 50Hz mains • Fed by 3-phase currents 120 apart in time to create rotating magnetic field • Rotor has NO windings • It has a cage of Aluminium bars; currents will be induced in it
N S N S S N Speed of rotating fields • Rotating field set up by stator currents rotates at synch speed s • If each phase spans 60° in space, then get 4-pole distribution • 1 rpm = 2 radians/minute = 2/60 radian/second (rads-1) Therefore 1 rads-1 = 60/2 10 rpm • Stator windings of an IM can only be wound in one way. P is fixed for an individual machine. An IM can either be a 2-pole machine, or a 4-pole machine or ….etc.
Slope = Irat Rated Operation (Stator current increases with slip) Concept of torque increasing with rotor slip • Rotor bars see magnetic field rotating past them (conductors in moving field) • Currents induced in rotor bars to establish torque; rotor travels at in attempt to catch up with rotating field • Have ; • Bigger slip, bigger torque T LowRr HighRr r s = 1 s = 0 s = 0.5
RS lR lS IR IS Power losses Mechanical power LM VS Im • L0magnetising inductance • lr lsrotor leakage inductance, stator leakage inductance • Lr rotor self inductance, • Ls stator self inductance, • Rs stator resistance, Rr rotor resistance • Stator an rotor leakage coefficients Per phase equivalent circuit • Vs,ISrms stator volts, current per PHASE (not line-line) • IRrms rotor current referred to the primary (also component of Is flowing to cancel magnetic field of rotor currents) • Imrmscomponent of stator current which magnetises machine (sets up rotating field
Typical fan-pump load shown • When motor switched to mains: - motor goes to P1 - motor too large or too small? T 3Irat 2Irat 4Irat 5Irat P1 • Smaller fan-pump load shown • When motor switched to mains: - motor goes to P2 Tacc Irat Tstart P2 • Lift, hoist load shown in green - constant due to gravitational force - slight increase due to friction etc s=1 s=0.5 s=0 r Per phase equivalent circuit – full speed range • Leakage effects reduce torque for a given slip, also causing maximum torque and shape of torque curve at large slips • Torque-slip curve now given by: • Real T-speed curve • Final speed determined by load
put Vs = ke since : this keeps Im (and field) constant when applied frequency changes T Tacc Only dependent on sl 1 0.25 0.5 0.75 Variable frequency (and voltage) operation Motor torque for given motor voltage Vs and frequency e: Torque expression becomes:
T = constant Te= constant Te2 = constant Field weakening esp. at higher speed • InVs = ke, k is such that Vrated (eg 415V) occurs at e-rated(eg 50Hz) • If Vrated is the maximum voltage of the converter, then Im and the field must reduce if we wish e > e-rated • Seen that as field of flux 1/e ; hence T 1/e for a given current (Ir) • Eventually, leakage effects impose • Field weakening region often called “Constant Power” • Frequencies to 2e normal • Employed if load also has constant power characteristic (so that good motor-load matching can be got)
Is = Is rated Generating region Is = 0 Is = -Is rated e E 580V IDC The PWM converter IDC • Variable Vs and esynthesized by “modulating” the transistor switching pattern • Motor speed r may be +ve or –ve depending on phase sequence of VS • Regeneration occurs when r > e • Under region, current reverses into DC link,, charging C • Voltage increases!
IDC • Called “dynamic braking” • If E rises to Enom+E, then transistor turned on. If E falls to Enom-E, then turned off • Cheap but energy wasteful, especially if load has many braking instances E IDC IDC • Called PWM rectifier or “active font-end” • Can draw near sinusoidal currents form supply • Can inject reactive power into supply • Line inductors required to “decouple” supply voltage from PWM output The PWM converter - regeneration

Aim is to adjust Vsto keep Im constant - Rs Rr/s Is • When e is not small - Im Vs Vm Lm Vm • When e is small - 1pu • The voltage boost Vb (normally 20-40V) is required to overcome the voltage drop due to Rs when e is small k Field weakening Vb fe Open- loop V-f control Low speed voltage boost
Summary for PWM V-F drives • About 25-30% of IM drives are driven by PWM converters • Open-Loop V-f drive most common – 60% of total - many drives esp. pumps and fans are just switched on and left running for long periods under constant speed • V-f drive operation based on steady state sinusoidal operation – only controlling rms values • V-f drive has poor torque control and poor low speed performance - but OK for just starting loads requiring low torque at low speed • Need to control instantaneous values of current to get fast control of torque and flux (and hence speed) • This is done by “vector control” of IMs
