MOTORS Shaded-pole Wound-rotor • Just a basic induction motor • Shaded-pole refers to the method of starting • Weak starting torque • Unique ability to gradually bring up to speed large loads easily and smoothly. • Can develop high starting torque at standstill
MOTORS SHADED POLE
Reliable and Cheap • There are probably more single-phase A/C induction motors in use today than the total of all the other types put together. • It is logical that the least expensive, lowest maintenance type of ac motor should be used most often. The single-phase A/C induction motor fits that description. • Shaded-pole AC drives are usually found in fans, whether in your computer, ceiling, window, or air-conditioning system
Basic Induction Motor Voltage is induced in the rotor as a result of magnetic induction, and a magnetic field is produced around the rotor. This field will always be in opposition to the stator field (Lenz's law applies). The interaction between the rotor and stator fields will not produce rotation, JUST PUSH OR PULL (Along the center yellow arrows) Stator changes polarity with A/C polarity changes
Because the two fields continuously alternate, they will never actually line up, and the rotor will continue to turn once started • Shaded pole motors are used where low torque is acceptable (such as fans) and are usually less than 1/4 HP. Due to their very low efficiency, shaded pole motors should only be used in applications where the motor is either very small or operates for very short periods of time (e.g. shower fan motor).
Basic Induction Motor Add rotation by any outside force, the push-pull along the center line is disturbed. At this instant the south pole on the rotor is being attracted by the left-hand pole. The north rotor pole is being attracted to the right-hand pole. The pull that now exists between the 2 fields becomes rotary force TURNING THE MOTOR
Shaded-pole version The shaded-pole motor's start winding consists of a copper band across one tip of each stator pole . This copper band delays the magnetic field through that portion of the pole. When ac power is applied, the main pole reaches its polarity before the shaded portion of the pole. This action causes the shaded poles to be out of phase with the main poles and a weak rotating magnetic field is produced. This is the “outside force” that starts the shaded-pole motor!

MOTORS Wound rotor
Variable Resistance offers unique applications • You can control the speed, torque, and resulting heating • Incorporates brushes and slip rings • Typical applications include conveyer belts, hoists and elevators.
A wound-rotor motor is a type of induction motor where the rotor windings are connected through slip rings to external resistances The wound-rotor induction motor is an A/C electrical motor that is powered by three-phase AC voltages.
Instead of a series of rotor bars, a set of insulated rotor coils is used to accept external impedances. The rotor windings are similar to those found on a DC armature, with the coils connected together to a set of rings that make contact with brushes. The circuit is completed by connecting the brushes to a set of impedances such as a resistor bank or liquid rheostat.
By modifying the resistance, the speed-torque characteristics can be altered. This allows for the torque to remain high, the inrush low, and the speed varied.
