It has two parts rotor & stator. When 3-∅ supply is provided to a stator a rotating magnetic field
will produce & it will rotate at synchronous speed. This revolving flux cuts the conductive bar of
rotor an induces an emf. As the rotor winding is short circuited current will start to flow in a
direction opposite of the revolving magnetic field and leads to a twisting motion or torque in the
rotor.
Two 480V, 100hp IM are manufactured. One is designed for 50Hz operation and another one
is designed for 60Hz operation, but they are otherwise similar. Which of the machine is larger?
A lower frequency need larger core & coils for the motor, that’s why 60Hz motor will run faster
& lighter because of core that do not saturate as easily
So, 50Hz motor is larger than 60Hz motor
The direction of rotation of a 3-phase IM can be reversed by interchanging any two supply lines
of the IM.
Let the phase sequence of the three phase applied voltage at stator is RYB. Now if it sequence is
changed into RBY, then rotation of field is reversed. However the number of poles and the
speed at which magnetic field rotates will remain unchanged.
Starting current is reduced 3-4 times & hence it causes less losses.
During starting period reduces voltage at 3 times that is why current also reduces up to
3 times and hence less motor burning is caused.
In addition, starting torque is increased and it prevents the damage of motor winding.
Because of air gap, the reluctance of the magnetic circuit of a 3∅ IM is very high. Consequently
the current drawn by the motor on no load is largely magnetizing current. The no load current
lagging the applied voltage by a large angle. For this reason, the PF of a lightly loaded 3∅ IM s
very low.

Unlike three phase induction motors, single phase induction motors are not self-starting. The
reason behind this is very interesting.
Single phase induction motor has distributed stator winding and a squirrel-cage rotor. When fed
from a single-phase supply, its stator winding produces a flux (or field) which is only alternating
i.e. one which alternates along one space axis only. It is not a synchronously revolving (or
rotating) flux as in the case of a two or a three phase stator winding fed from a 2 of 3 phase
supply. Now, an alternating or pulsating flux acting on a stationary squirrel-cage rotor cannot
produce rotation (only a revolving flux can produce rotation). That is why a single phase motor is
not self-starting.
How would you reverse the direction of rotation of a capacitor start induction run motor?
By reversing either the running or starting winding leads where they are connected to the lines.
Both must not be reversed.
The universal motor is so named because it is a type of electric motor that can operate
on AC or DC power.
By reversing either the field leads or armature leads but not both.
Single phase IM are required where 3-phase supply is not available, efficiency is of lesser
importance, equipment is portable, and rating is less than one H.P.
