Wks 1-7 notes
Ref; Bose, Chapter 2, AC Machines for
Drive
Introduction
• The electric machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, and
vice versa, is the workhorse in a drive system.
• A machine is a complex structure electrically, mechanically, and thermally.
• When designing a high performance drive system, engineers must have intimate
knowledge about machine performance, the dynamic model, and parameter
variations.
• Drive systems are generally classified into constant-speed and variable-speed.
• Traditionally, AC machines with a constant frequency sinusoidal power supply have
been used in constant-speed application.
• Where as DC machines where preferred for variable-speed drives.
• Currently, DC machines are progressively being replaced by AC drives as variable-
speed drive.
• AC machines can generally be classified as follows:
– Induction machines;
I. cage or wound rotor (doubly –fed),
II. Rotating or linear
– Synchronous machines;
I. Rotating or linear,
II. Reluctance,
III. Wound field or permanent magnet,
IV. Radial or axial gap (disk),
V. Surface magnet or interior (buried) magnet,
VI. Sinusoidal or trapezoidal.
– Variable reluctance machines;
I. Switched reluctance
II. Stepper.
• This chapter will base on the study of basic static and dynamic performance
characteristics of induction and synchronous motors with particular relevance
to variable speed applications,
Induction Machines
• Induction machines, particularly the cage type, is mostly commonly used in
industry.
• These machines are very economical, rugged, and reliable, and are available in the
ranges of fractional horse power (FHP) to multi-megawatt capacity.
• In variable speed drive application, though low-power FHP machines are available
in single phase, poly-phase (three phase) machines are used more often.
• Three Phase Induction Motor.
• Each phase winding in the stator
and rotor is represented by a
concentrated coil.
• Three phase Induction machines
had their coils wound in either
wye or delta form.
• In a wound rotor the end rings
are shorted like squirrel cage
structure.
• It can be looked up as a three
phase transformer with a
rotating and short-circuited
secondary.
• Both stator and rotor core are
made with laminated
ferromagnetic steel sheets.
2.2.1 Rotating magnetic field
•
• Rotating
 and is onemagnetic field is created in the air gap between the rotor and the stator
of the fundamental principles of induction.
• Each phase winding independently produce a sinusoidal distributed mmf
(magneto-motive force)
• At spatial angle , the instantaneous mmf expressions can be given as;

 Where N = number of turns in a phase winding. Note that the mmf waves are
phase-shifted in by a angle. The mmf at angle is given as
 • Substituting equations 2.1 through 2.3 in 2.7 and simplify gives.

• Equation 2.9 indicates that a sinusoidally distributed mmf wave of


peak value is rotating in the air gap at synchronous speed .
• The rotational speed can be given as;
2.2.2 Torque Production
• The interaction of air gap flux and rotor mmf produces torque.
