Induction Machines
Introduction
 Most industrial motors are squirrel cage induction machines because
of their simple and robust construction, low cost, minimal
maintenance, and inherent overload protection.
 However, induction generators are much less widely used because
the drive speed, electrical frequency, voltage, load, and equivalent
terminal capacitance must be juggled to provide both the reactive
excitation power to the machine and the varying real power to the
load.
 This type of generator is not widely used outside the wind turbine
industry, and in small hydropower units
Construction
 An induction machine has two main parts
-
a stationary stator
•
•
consisting of a steel frame that supports a hollow, cylindrical core
core, constructed from stacked laminations, having a number of
evenly spaced slots, providing the space for the stator winding
Stator of IM
Construction
-
a revolving rotor
•
•
•
•
composed of punched laminations, stacked to create a series of rotor
slots, providing space for the rotor winding
one of two types of rotor windings
conventional 3-phase windings made of insulated wire (wound-rotor) »
similar to the winding on the stator
aluminum bus bars shorted together at the ends by two aluminum rings,
forming a squirrel-cage shaped circuit (squirrel-cage)
 Two basic design types depending on the rotor design
-
-
squirrel-cage: conducting bars laid into slots and shorted at both
ends by shorting rings.
wound-rotor: complete set of three-phase windings exactly as the
stator. Usually Y-connected, the ends of the three rotor wires are
connected to 3 slip rings on the rotor shaft. In this way, the rotor
circuit is accessible.

Principle of operation
 The stator is usually connected to the grid and, thus, the
stator is magnetized
 A rotating magnetic field with constant magnitude is
produced, rotating with a speed

rpm
Principle of operation contd..
 In order to generate power the rotor speed must be slightly
above the synchronous speed
 The harder the rotor is cranked, the more power will be fed
into the electrical grid

Where s is the slip. Slip is one of the most
important variables in the control and
operation of induction machines.

s=1

s is –ve : if the rotor runs at a speed

Alternative Rotor Constructions
 High efficiency at normal operating conditions requires a low rotor resistance.
 On the other hand, a high rotor resistance is required to produce a high starting torque
and to keep the magnitude of the starting current low and the power factor high.
 The wound rotor is one way of meeting the above mentioned need for varying the
rotor resistance at different operating conditions. Wound-rotor motors are, however,
more expensive than squirrel-cage motors.

Double Squirrel-Cage Rotor Construction
 Following double squirrel-cage arrangements can also be used to obtained a high
value of effective resistance at starting and a low value of the resistance at fullload operation.
 It consists of two layers of bars, both short-circuited by end rings.
 The upper bars are small in cross-section and have a high resistance.
 They are placed near the rotor surface so that the leakage flux sees a path of high
reluctance; consequently, they have a low leakage inductance.
 The lower bars have a large cross-section, a lower resistance and a high leakage
inductance.
Double squirrel-cage rotor bars
Double Squirrel-Cage Rotor Construction (cont’d)
 At starting, rotor frequency is high and very little current flows through the
lower bars; the effective resistance of the rotor is then the high resistance upper
bars.
 At normal low slip operation, leakage reactances are negligible, and the rotor
current flows largely through the low resistance lower bars; the effective rotor
resistance is equal to that of the two sets of bars in parallel.
Double squirrel-cage rotor bars
Deep-Bar Rotor Construction
 The use of deep, narrow rotor bars produces torque-slip characteristics similar to
those of a double-cage rotor.
 Leakage inductance of the top cross-section of the rotor bar is relatively low; the
lower sections have progressively higher leakage inductance.
 At starting, due to the high rotor frequency, the current is concentrated towards
the top layers of the rotor bar.
 At full-load operation, the current distribution becomes uniform and the
effective resistance is low.

For system studies, the rotor should be
represented by a single rotor circuit whose

Modeling Induction Machines
In developing the model of induction machines, following aspects will
differ from those of synchronous machines:
 The d- and q-axis equivalent circuits are identical as the rotor has
symmetrical structure.
 The rotor speed is not fixed but varies with load. This has an impact
on the selection of the d-q reference frame.
 There is no excitation source to the rotor windings. Consequently, the
dynamics of the rotor circuits are determined by slip.
 The current induced in the shorted rotor windings produce a field with
the same number of poles as that produced by the stator windings.
Rotor windings may therefore be modeled by an equivalent threephase winding.

Torque-speed characteristics
Typical torque-speed characteristics of induction motor
Maximum torque

transferred to R2/s is maximum.

 The slip at maximum torque is directly proportional
to the rotor resistance R2
 The maximum torque is independent of R2
Maximum torque
 Rotor resistance can be increased by inserting
external resistance in the rotor of a wound-rotor
induction motor.
 The value of the maximum torque remains
unaffected but the speed at which it occurs can be
controlled.
