AC Motor - Formulas

This document discusses AC motors, generators, and transformers. It defines slip as the difference between rotor and magnetic field speed in an AC motor. It provides equations to calculate synchronous speed, torque, and transformer current and turns ratio. It describes induction motors as the most common AC motor and single-phase AC induction motors. Synchronous motors are also discussed along with field excitation, AC generator frequency and losses. Techniques for memorizing include being familiar with key terms, making a study sequence, understanding diagrams, practicing equation solving, and repeated problem solving.

AC motors

Slip – The percentage difference between the speed of the rotor and the speed of the rotating
magnetic field is called SLIP.

Equation (1).

The speed of the rotating magnetic field or synchronous speed of a motor can be found by using
Equation (2).

Torque

The torque of an AC induction motor dependent upon the strength of the interacting rotor and stator
fields and the phase relationship between them. Torque can be calculated by using Equation (3).
TYPES OF AC MOTOR
Induction Motor – the most commonly used AC motor in industrial applications because of its
simplicity, rugged construction, and relatively low manufacturing costs.
Single-Phase AC Induction Motor – If two stator windings of unequal impedance are spaced 90
electrical degrees apart and connected in parallel to a single-phase source, the field produced will
appear to rotate.
Synchronous Motor – are like induction motors in that they both have stator windings that produce a
rotating magnetic field. Unlike an induction motor, the synchronous motor is excited by an external DC
source and, therefore, requires slip rings and brushes to provide current to the rotor.

Field Excitation – For a constant load, the power factor of a synchronous motor can be varied from a
leading value to a lagging value by adjusting the DC field excitation.
AC Generator
The frequency of the generated voltage is dependent on the number of field poles and the speed at
which the generator is operated, as indicated in Equation.

The 120 in Equation is derived by multiplying the following conversion factors.

Losses in an AC Generator

Efficiency
Single Phase Transformer

Formula
Single Phase Transformer Full-Load Current (Amps) = kVA × 1000/V

Where:

kVA = transformer rating (kilovolt-amperes),

V = voltage (volts).

Turns Ratio = N1 / N2 = V1 / V2 = I2 / I1

Where:

N1 = number of turns on the primary,

N2 = number of turns on the secondary,

V1 = primary voltage,

V2 = secondary voltage,
I1 = primary current,

I2 = secondary current.

3. Technique on how to memorize and apply them.

- AC Motor and Generator/ single phase transformer

– First, be familiar with the words related to the AC motor and generator topics
and it is important to remember their respective functions first especially the
variables contained in the equation.

- Second, make an own pattern or sequence on topics to make it fully effective to


memorize.

- third, Understand the presented diagrams because they have a lot to do with
the equation shown.

- fourth, practice the solving skills and understand how the equations are formed
and how to obtain the values in the examples given.

- last, memorized them by solving sample problems repeatedly.
