6.1 DESCRIPTION OF AC MOTOR OPERATION

Three phase AC motors are comprised of two major components, the stator and the rotor.

The stator is a set of three electrical windings held stationary in the motor housing. The

rotor is a metal cylinder, xed to the motor drive shaft, which rotates within the stator.

The arrangement of the stator coils and the presence of three phase AC voltage give

rise to a rotating magnetic eld which drives the rotor. The speed at which the magnetic

field rotates is known as the synchronous speed of the motor. Synchronous speed is a

function of the frequency at which the voltage is alternating and the number of poles in

the stator windings.

The following equation gives the relation between synchronous speed, frequency, and

the number of poles:

Ss = 120 f/p

Where: Ss = Synchronous speed (rpm)

f = frequency (Hz)

p = number of poles

In three phase induction motors the actual shaft speed diers from the synchronous speed

as load is applied. This difference is known as “slip”. Slip is commonly expressed as a

percentage of synchronous speed. A typical value is three percent at full load.

The strength of the magnetic eld in the gap between the rotor and stator is proportional

to the amplitude of the voltage at a given frequency. The output torque capability of the

motor is, therefore, a function of the applied voltage amplitude at a given frequency.

When operated below base (rated) speed, AC motors run in the range of “constant

torque”. Constant torque output is obtained by maintaining a constant ratio between

voltage amplitude (Volts) and frequency (Hertz). For 60 Hz motors rated at 230, 460,

and 575 Vac, common values for this V/Hz ratio are 3.83, 7.66, and 9.58 respectively.

Operating with these V/Hz ratios generally yields optimum torque capability. Operating at

lower ratio values results in lower torque and power capability. Operating at higher ratio

values will cause the motor to overheat. Most standard motors are capable of providing

full torque output from 3 to 60 Hz. However, at lower speeds, where motor cooling fans

become less effective, supplemental cooling may be needed to operate at full torque

output continuously.

If the frequency applied to the motor is increased while the voltage remains constant,

torque capability will decrease as speed increases. This will cause the horsepower

capability of the motor to remain approximately constant. Motors run in this mode when

operated above base speed, where drive output voltage is limited by the input line

voltage. This operating range is known as the “constant horsepower” range. The typical

maximum range for constant horsepower is about 2.3 to 1 (60 to 140 Hz). The diagram

below depicts the characteristics of a typical AC induction motor with a 60 Hz base speed.

WARNING!

Consult motor manufacturer before operating motor and/or driven

equipment above base speed.
