3-Phase-Induction-Motor

By Ashik





The AC induction motor is a rotating electric machine designed to operate from a three-phase source of alternating voltage. The stator is a classic three-phase stator with the winding displaced by 120°.
  • Medium construction complexity, multiple fields on stator, cage on rotor
  • High reliability (no brush wear), even at very high achievable speeds
  • Medium efficiency at low speed, high efficiency at high speed
  • Driven by multi-phase Inverter controllers
  • Motor EMI good but... terrible EMI from inverter
  • Sensorless speed control possible
  • Low cost per horsepower, though higher than for 1-phase AC induction motor
  • Higher start torque than for 1-phase, easy to reverse motor
  • Inverter shoot-through' possible, requires dead-time' circuits and compensation










The three-phase AC induction motor has a squirrel cage rotor in which aluminum conductors or bars are shorted together at both ends of the rotor by cast aluminum end rings. When three currents flow through the three symmetrically placed windings, a sinusoidally distributed air gap flux generating the rotor current is produced. The interaction of the sinusoidally distributed air gap flux and induced rotor currents produces a torque on the rotor. The mechanical angular velocity of the rotor is lower then the angular velocity of the flux wave by so called slip velocity.

In adjustable speed applications, AC motors are powered by inverters. The inverter converts DC power to AC power at the required frequency and amplitude. The inverter consists of three half-bridge units where the upper and lower switches are controlled complimentarily. As the power device's turn-off time is longer than its turn-on time, some dead-time must be inserted between the turn-off of one transistor of the half-bridge and turn-on of its complementary device. The output voltage is mostly created by a pulse width modulation (PWM) technique.The three-phase voltage waves are shifted 120° to one another and thus a three-phase motor can be supplied.


The stator windings of an AC induction motor are distributed around the stator to produce a roughly sinusoidal distribution. When three-phase AC voltages are applied to the stator windings, a rotating magnetic field is produced.

The rotor of an induction motor also consists of windings or more often a copper squirrel cage embedded within iron laminates. Only the iron laminates are shown. An electric current is induced in the rotor bars which also produce a magnetic field.

The rotating magnetic field of the stator drags the rotor around. The rotor does not quite keep up with the rotating magnetic field of the stator. It falls behind or slips as the field rotates.

In this animation, for every time the magnetic field rotates, the rotor only makes three-fourths of a turn. If you follow one of the bright green or red rotor teeth with the mouse, you will notice it change color as it falls behind the rotating field. The slip has been greatly exaggerated to enable visualization of this concept. A real induction motor only slips a few percent.

Armature Winding ,Pole Pitch, Coil Span, Commutator Pitch

By Ashik
Now we are going to discuss about armature winding in details. Before going through this section, we should understand some basic terms related to armature winding of dc generator . Pole Pitch Definition of Pole Pitch The pole pitch is defined as peripheral distance between center of two adjacent poles in dc machine. This distance is measured in term of armature slots or armature conductor come between two adjacent pole centers. This is naturally equal to the total number of armature slots divided by number of poles in the machine. If there are 96 slots on the armature periphery and 4 numbers of poles in the machine, the numbers of armature slots come between two adjacent poles centers would be 96/4 = 24. Hence, the pole pitch of that dc machine would be 24. As it is seen that, pole pitch is equal to total numbers of armature slots divided by total numbers of poles, this can alternatively referred as armature slots per pole . Coil Span or Coil Pitch Coil of ...

8255 Programmable Peripheral

By Ashik
8255 Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI) Intel 8255A is a general purpose parallel I/O interface. The peripheral devices are slower than the microprocessor. PPI makes an inter-relation between microprocessor and peripheral devices. It provides three I/O port (Port A, Port B and Port C) and can be programmed as a) Simple Parallel I/O (No handshaking) b) Simple Strobe I/O (Use STB handshake) c) Single Handshake I/O (Use STB-ACK handshake) d) Double handshake I/O (Uses STB-ACK and STB-ACK) Handshaking and Handshaking Signal The making of inter relation between slower peripheral device and microprocessor is called handshaking. Before making the inter-relation between peripheral device and microprocessor the PPI send some signals to microprocessor and peripheral device to perform the process, these signals are called handshaking signal. 8255-based devices that perform handshaking support four handshaking signals: • Strobe Input (STB) • Input Buffer Full (IBF) • ...
