THEORY The different ranges of speeds are required for different applications. A single motor can be used for various work in different speeds. Smooth speed control is possible in DC shunt motor. The speed of a DC motor can be expressed by the equation, N = K(V-IaRas ) / Neglecting the small voltage drops IaRa, the speed is directly proportional to the voltage across armature and inversely proportional to the flux or field current. Hence, the speed of the DC motor is controlled by either voltage or field current.

Filed current (or) flux control method In field current method, the speed of the DC motor is inversely proportional to the flux per pole. When armature voltage is kept constant, the change of field current can change the flux per pole of a DC motor. The field current can be changed with the help of shunt field rheostat. As the DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING Page 24

field resistance is increased, the current flowing through the field is decreased. So, the speed is increased. In this method, the speed can be varied above the rated speed. Armature (or) voltage control method This method is used when the speed required is below the rated the rated speed. The voltage across the armature is varied by inserting a variable resistance in series with the armature circuit. As the armature resistance is increased, the voltage across the armature is decreased. So the armature speed is decreased.

PRECAUTIONS 1. The motor field rheostat should be kept at minimum resistance position at the time of starting. 2. The motor armature rheostat be kept at minimum resistance position at the time of starting. 3. The motor should be in no load condition throughout the experiment 4. The motor should run in anticlockwise direction.

The armature rheostat is adjusted to run the motor at rated speed. 5. Keep the armature voltage constant at rated value. 6. Increase the speed in steps of 50rpm above the rated speed and note down the corresponding field current value in table.

THEORY Transformer is a static device, which is used to convert AC electricity from one voltage to another without any change in frequency. Transformer works only with AC and this is one of the reasons why mains electricity is AC. Step-up transformers increase voltage, Step-down transformers decrease voltage. Most power supplies use a step-down transformer to reduce the dangerously high mains voltage (230V) to a safer low voltage.

PROCEDURE 1. Note down the name plate detail of the machine 2. Connection are made as per the circuit diagram 3. Supply is given by closing the DPST switch on the primary side and the secondary is kept open 4. Adjust the auto transformer to energise the transformer with rated primary voltage 5. At no load condition, the input voltage, current and power are noted and enter the values in the table 6. Close the secondary winding and increase the load in steps of 1 amps and note down the corresponding ammeter, voltmeter and wattmeter readings in both the primary and secondary sides and enter the values in the table 7. Then the load is gradually decreased and the auto transformer is brought to the minimum voltage position and the supply is switched off 8. The output power, efficiency and regulation are calculated by using the formulae and enter the values in the table.

THEORY Stator voltage control is cheapest and easiest method but rarely used, because a large voltage is required for a relatively small change in speed. This large change in voltage will result in a large change in the flux density thereby seriously disturbing the magnetic conditions of the applied voltage. PROCEDURE 1. Close the TPST Switch 2.

THEORY A single phase induction motor is similar to a three phase squirrel cage induction motor in physical appearance. The rotor of single phase squirrel cage induction motor is essentially the same as that employed in three phase induction motors and needs no further description. There is uniform air-gap between stator and rotor but no electrical Connection between them. Except for shaded pole types, the stator core is also very similar. A single phase motor can be wound for any even number of poles two, four and six being most common. A single phase induction motor is similar to a three phase squirrel cage induction motor.

EX.NO.11 STUDY OF AC STARTERS AND DC STARTERS AIM To study about the ac starters and dc starters. Necessity of Starter The necessity of starter is not only to start the motor but also for the following functions y y Reduction of the heavy starting current Over load and no voltage protection

THREE POINT STARTERS The component used and the internal wiring for a three point starter are shown. Three terminals L, Z, and A are available in the starter circuit for connecting to the motor. The starting resistance Rs provided with tapping and each tapping is connected to a brass stud. The handle of the starter, H is fixed in such a way to move over the brass studs. Two protective devices namely over load release and no voltage coil provided to protect the motor during over and during failure of supply. To start the motor, the starter handle, full resistance is connected in series with the armature and the armature circuit of the motor is closed through the starting resistance and over load release coil. Field circuit of motor is also closed through the no voltage coil. Then the handle is moved over the studs against the spring force offered by a spring S p mounted on the handle. As handle movers, the staring resistance is gradually cut out from the motor circuit. A soft iron pieces is attached to the handle. The no voltage coil, NVC consists of an electro magnet energized by the field current. When the handle reaches the ON position, the NVC attracts the soft iron piece and holds the handle firmly. Whenever there is a failure of supply, the NVC de-energies and releases the handle. The handle position returns to off position due to the spring tension. If this arrangement is provided, then when the power supply is restored, the armature alone will be connected to the supply and the current through the armature will be high and it will damage the armature winding. Thus the armature is protected against failure of supply by NVC.

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

Page 70

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY


The over load release also has an electromagnet and the line current energizes it. When the motor is overloaded, the iron strip P is attracted to the contacts (c and c ) due to the

electromagnetic force produced by the overload release coil and the contacts c and c are bridged. Thus in this case NVC is de-energized and the handle comes to off position thus the motor is protected against overloading. We can see that under normal running of the motor the starting resistance when the handle touches the first stud it also touches the brass arc through which full voltage is supplied to the field coil.

Three point starter

Disadvantage This three point starter is not suitable when we have to control the speed of the motor by connecting a variable resistance in series with the field winding. When the speed, the no voltage coil will be de-energized and handle will return the off position. Due to this disadvantage, four point starters is widely used for starting shunt and compound motors.

FOUR POINT STARTER The basic difference between three point and four starters is the connection of NVC. In three point, NVC is in series with the field winding while in four point starter NVC is connected independently across the supply through the fourth terminal called N in addition to the L , F and A . Hence any change in the field current does not affect the performance of the NVC. Thus it is ensured that NVC always produce a force which is enough to hold the handle in Run position, against forces of the spring, under all the operating conditions. Such a current is adjusted through NVC with the help of fixed resistance R connected in series with the NVc using fourth point N as

shown

FOUR POINT STARTER Disadvantages:

The only limitation of the four point starter is , it does not provide high speed protection to the motor. If under running condition, field gets opened, the field current reduces to zero. But there is some residual flux present and N E

1 the motor tries to run with dangerously high speed. J

This is called high speeding action of the motion. in three point starter as NVC is in series with the field, under such field failure, NVC releases handle to the OFF position. But in four point starter NVC is connected directly across the supply and its current is maintained irrespective of the DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING Page 73

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY


current through the field winding, hence it always maintains handle in the RUN position, as long as supply is there. And thus it does not protect the motor from field failure condition which result into the high speeding of the motor.

TWO POINT STARTER:Three point and four point starters are used for d.c. shunt motors. In case of series motors, field and armature are inserted and hence starting resistance is inserted in series with the field and armature. Such a starter used to limit the star4ting current in case of dc series motor is called two point starters. The basic construction of two point starter is similar to that of three point starter the fact that is has only two terminal namely line (L) and field F. The terminal is one end of the series combination of field and the armature winding. The action of the starter is similar to that of three point starter. The handle of the starter is in OFF position. When it is moved to on, motor gets the supply and the entire starting resistance is in series with the armature and field. It limits the starting current. The current through no volt coil energizes it and when handle reaches to RUN position, the no volt coil holds the handle by attracting the soft iron piece on the handle. Hence the no volt coil is also called hold on coil. The main problem in case of dc series motor is it over speeding action when the load is less. This can be prevented using two point starters. The no volt coil is designed in such a way that it holds the handle in RUN positions only when it carries sufficient current, for which motor can run safely. If there is loss of load then current drawn by the motor decreases, due to which no volt coil losses its required magnetism and releases the handle. Under spring force, handle comes back to OFF position, protecting the motor from over speeding. Similarly if there is any supply problem such that voltage decreases suddenly conditions.

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

Page 74

Two point starter The overload condition can be prevented using overload magnet increases. This energizes the magnet up to such an extent that it attracts the lever below it. When lever is lifted upwards, the triangular piece attached to it touches the two pints, which are the two ends of no volt coil. Thus no volt coil gets shorted, losing its magnetism and releasing the handle back to OFF position. This protects the motor from overloading conditions.

NECESSITY FOR STARTER At starting when full voltage is connected across the stator terminals of an induction motor, large current is drawn by the windings. This is because, at starting (i.e before the rotor starts rotating) the induction motor behaves as a short circuited transformer. This induced emf of the rotor will circulate a very large current through its windings, due to short. The primary will draw very large current nearly 7 times of the rated current from the supply main to balance the rotor ampere turns. This current will however be gradually decreasing as the motor will pick up speed. Hence if induction motors are started direct-online heavy current is drawn by the motor, such as heavy starting current of short duration may not cause harm to the motor since the construction of induction motors are rugged. Moreover, it takes time for intolerable temperature rise to endanger the insulation of the motor windings. But this heavy in high of current will cause a large voltage drop in the lines leading to the motor. Other motors and equipment connected to the supply lines will receive reduced voltage. In industrial installation, however, it a number of large motors are started direct on-line, the voltage drop will be very high and may be really objectionable for the other types of loads connected to the system. The amount of voltage dro0p will no only dependent on the size of the motor but also on factors like the capacity of the power supply system, the size and length of the line leading to the motors, etc. Types of starters available for induction motors are:

1.

Full voltage direct online starting a. DOL starter

2.

Reduced voltage starting a. Star-Delta starter b. Auto transformer starter

FULL VOLTAGE DIRECT ONLINE STARTING: D.O.L STARTER: It is recommended that large three phase squirrel-case induction motors be started with reduced voltage applied across the stator terminals at starting. But small motors up to 5HP ratings may however be started Direct ON-Line (DOL) Direct-on-line method of starting of induction motors applicable up to a rating of 5 HP is shown in fig1. In the circuit in addition to fuses, thermal motor windings against overload.

THE STARTERS FOR SQUIRREL CAGE INDUCTION MOTOR REDUCED VOLTAGE STARTING:  STATOR RESISTANCE (OR) PRIMARY RESISTANCE STARTER: Their purpose is to drop some voltage and hence reduce the voltage applied across the motor terminals. In this way, the initial current drawn by the motor is reduced. However, it should be noted that whereas current varies directly as the voltage, the torque varies as square of applied voltage. [Note: When applied voltage is reduced, the rotating flux J is reduced which in turn decreases rotor e.m.f and hence rotor current I2. Starting torque which depends both on J and I2 suffers on two counts when impressed voltage is reduced] DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING Page 78

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY


For example if voltage applied across motor terminals is reduced by 50%, starting current is reduced by 50%, but torque is reduced to 25% of the full-voltage value. Then,

It is obvious that the ratio of starting torque of full-load torque is x2 of that obtained with direct switching (or) across the line starting. This method is useful for the smooth starting of small machines only. (ii). PRIMARY REACTANCE STARTER: The working principle of the primary reactance starter is same as that of primary resistance starter except that voltage drop occurs across the reactor, so that i/p voltage applied to the stator of induction motor reduces.

AUTO TRANSFORMER STARTERS

An auto transformer consists of a n auto transformer and a switch as shown in fig.

When the switch S is put on start position, a reduced voltage is applied across the motor terminals. When the motor picks up speed, say to 80 percent of its normal speed, the switch is put to RUN position. Then the quato-transformer is cut out of the circuit and full rated voltage gets applied across the motor terminals. DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING Page 81

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY


The switch making these changes from start to run may be air break (for small motors) or may be oil-increased (for large motors) to reduce sparking. Derivation for autotransformer starter: When full voltage is applied without suing autotransformers say starter, then current taken by the motor is 5 times the full load current. voltage/phase across the motor is V / 3 . @ If V is pre line voltage then

Relation between starting and full-load torque: It is seen that voltage across the motor phase on direct switching is V / 3 and starting current is I st ! I sc . With autotransformer starter, voltage across the motor phase is kV / 3 and

The ratio of line currents drawn in star and delta connection is therefore,

STAR DELTA STARTER:

In this method, the stator phase windings are first corrected in star and full voltage is connected across its free terminals. As the motor pickup speed, the windings are disconnected through a switch and they are reconnected in delta across the supply terminals. The current drawn by the motor from the lines is reduced to 1/3 as compared to the current it would have drawn if connected in delta. PROOF: Thus, by connecting the motor windings, first in star and then in delta, the line current drawn by the motor at starting is reduced to one third as compared to starting with the windings delta connected.

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

Page 84

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY

Reduced Torque due to star connection: In induction motor, torque developed is proportional to the square of applied voltage. As the phase voltage is reduced to 1 / 3 times that in star-connection, the starting torque will be reduced to one third. To get full torque in the motor, it must be switched over to delta connection.

In making connections for star-delta starting, care should be taken such that sequency of supply connections to the winding terminals does not change wile changing form starconnection to delta-connection. Otherwise the motor will start rotating in opposite

direction, when connections are changed from star to delta.

Star-delta starters are available for manual operation using push-button control. An automatic star-delta starters uses time-delay relays (TDR) through which star to delta

THE STARTERS FOR SLIP RING INDUCTION MOTORS: ROTOR RESISTANCE STARTERS: The easiest method of starting wound rotor (slip-ring) induction motors is to connect some extra resistance in the rotor circuit as shown in fig. Connection of extra resistance in the rotor circuit decreases the starting current and at the same time increases the starting torque. As the motor starts rotating the extra resistance is gradually cut out. When the motor attains rated speed the resistance is fully cut out.

When the motor attains rated speed the resistance is fully cut out and the slip ring terminals are short circuited. The motor now operates on its own characteristics which give rise to maximum torque at a low slip.

RESULT Thus the DC starters and AC starters were studied.
