Synchronous Speed

• Synchronous speed is the rotational speed of the magnetic field.

• Synchronous speed is determined by:

– the number of stator poles per phase.

– the frequency of the applied voltage.

Unit 33 Three-Phase MotorsPhase Rotation

• The direction of rotation is either clockwise or counterclockwise.

• Reversing any two of the stator leads will reverse the direction of rotation.

Dual-Voltage Motors

• Many motors are designed to operate on two different voltages, such as 240 V and 480 V.

• This type of motor has two windings for each phase.

• Most dual-voltage motors bring out 9 leads to the terminal box.

Unit 33 Three-Phase Motors

Dual-Voltage Motors

• The other 3 leads are connected internally.• Review: There are two connection leads per

winding; there are two windings per phase; there are three phases. This makes 12 connection leads. Of these 12 leads 9 are usually brought out to the terminal box, 3 are connected internally.

Unit 33 Three-Phase Motors

Dual-Voltage Motors

• When motors are connected to their higher-rated voltage on the name plate, a high-voltage connection pattern is required.

• When motors are connected to their lower-rated voltage on the name plate, a low-voltage connection pattern is required.

Unit 33 Three-Phase Motors

– the strength of the stator magnetic fields.– the strength of the rotor magnetic fields.– the phase angle difference between the

rotor and stator fields.

Unit 33 Three-Phase Motors

Slip

• An induction motor never reaches synchronous speed.

• Slip is the difference between synchronous speed and rotor speed.

• Percent slip is the ratio of slip to synchronous speed times 100.

Unit 33 Three-Phase Motors

Wound-Rotor Induction Motor

• This motor is very popular in industry because of its high starting torque and low starting current.

• A squirrel-cage motor and a wound-rotor motor have similar stator windings.
