Three Phase Motor

An induction electric motor or 3 phase induction motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current in the rotor had a need to produce torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator Three Phase Motor winding

An induction electric motor which connects with a 3-phase supply called 3-phase induction motor. Example fans,blowers, cranes,traction .It really is a ac motor. The main drawback of DC motors is the existence of commutator and brushes, which require frequent maintenance and we can’t use DC motor in explosive and filthy environment. But induction motors are cheaper,rugged,lighter,smaller,require much less maintenance and will use in dirty and explosive environment. Slide s is the imp aspect in this type of motor.

There are 2 types of IM.

Squirrel cage IM

Slip ring IM

There are numerous starting and braking condition.

Important starting methods are

Star-delta starter

Auto transformer starter

Ac voltage controller starter

Rotor resistance starter

Important braking methods are

Regenerative braking

Plugging or reverse voltage braking

Dynamic braking

But one thing velocity control technique of induction motor is important

Pole changing

Stator voltage control

V/f control

Slip power recovery

Rotor resistance control
