DISCUSSION:

This motor functions similarly to a conventional motor. Except for some


additional features, this motor has a distinct advantage. When the stator of a
three-phase motor receives a three-phase power source. An RMF is created,
which rotates within the stator's air gap. When a current-carrying conductor is
impacted by a magnetic field, an emf is induced, and this RMF cuts the rotor
windings. Similarly, the concept of electromagnetic induction will induce an
emf when this RMF cuts the current-carrying rotor windings. This induced
EMF will produce a force stated by Lorentz. This EMF will generate torque,
which should be sufficient to revolve the rotor. To rotate the rotor, the
produced torque is not unidirectional. The phase difference created is high
since the motor is inductive. The motor connection diagram's operation is
depicted in the diagram below.
The phase difference between the current and voltage is not sufficient to
develop high starting torque. The motor is equipped with some rings through
which high resistance is linked in series with the circuit to increase the phase
difference. The inductive reactance is reduced as a result of the high
resistance, and the phase difference between current and voltage is likewise
reduced. As a result of the reduced phase difference, the motor can provide
strong beginning torque.

The speed control system is responsible for the complete mechanism of


a slip ring or wound rotor motor. There are two ways for controlling speed:
rotor rheostat control and cascade control. The rheostat, which is initially used
to create resistance in the system and set up the starting phase for the motor
slip ring, can achieve the goal of speed control. One of the things that must
be taken care of is recording and rating the initial rheostat rating for continuous
operation. The same rheostat that was initially installed can be used to control
the speed.

Rotary electrical connections, electric rotary joints, swivels, and collector


rings are all names for slip rings. The slip ring may need extra bandwidth to
transport data depending on the application. A slip ring motor, also known as
a phase wound motor, is an induction motor that may be started with full line
voltage placed across its stator terminals. A wound rotor motor's rotor winding
terminals are linked to three slip rings that are installed on but isolated from
the shaft. The leads from the three brushes pushing on these slip rings are
routed to external resistances. The beginning current is regulated at startup
by introducing external resistance to the rotor circuit. As the rotor accelerates,
the external resistance decreases in steps, causing the motor torque to remain
maximum during the accelerating period. Finally, during normal operation, the
external resistance is completely removed and the slip-rings are short-
circuited, allowing the motor to produce full load torque at low slip-ring values.
The "slip required to create maximum torque is directly related to the rotor
resistance," which means that the slip rises as the external resistance
increases.

The rheostat, which is initially used to create resistance in the system and
set up the starting phase for the motor slip ring, can achieve the goal of speed
control. One of the things that must be taken care of is recording and rating
the initial rheostat rating for continuous operation. The same rheostat that was
initially installed can be used to control the speed. As we all know, external
resistance is applied through an external source during the first startup phase
of a wound rotor motor. As the rotor accelerates, the amount of inflow is
reduced to the point where the external resistance is completely eliminated
when the rotor acceleration reaches its maximum.

The purpose of these is to increase the motor's starting torque. The


external high resistance circuit is linked to the slip rings. These rings, together
with the external high resistance, improve resistance while lowering inductive
reactance. The following diagram depicts the operation of a three-phase slip
ring induction motor.

CONCLUSION:

During startup, a slip ring induction motor is connected to an external


resistance for speed control, and if the rotor resistance is high, the starting
torque is high and the rotor current is low. Rotor resistance also influences the
amount of slip required to obtain maximum torque. A wound rotor motor's rotor
winding connections are coupled to three slip-rings positioned on but insulated
from the shaft. The three brushes pressed on the slip-rings provide the leads to
external resistances. The speed of these slip ring motors can also be adjusted
using an external rheostat. The starting rheostat, on the other hand, must be
rated for continuous operation.

A slip ring or wound rotor motor's entire mechanism is controlled by the


speed control system. Rotor rheostat control and cascade control are the two
methods for controlling speed. The speed is controlled by a rheostat. The
rheostat can achieve the purpose of speed control, as it is originally employed
to establish resistance in the system and set up the starting phase for the motor
slip ring. Recording and rating the initial rheostat rating for continuous operation
is one of the tasks that must be completed. The speed can be controlled with
the same rheostat that was originally installed. Because we know that external
resistance is applied through an external source during the initial phase of a
wound rotor motor, the procedure is rather simple. The amount of inflow
decreases as the rotor accelerates, until the external resistance is completely
erased when the rotor accelerates to its maximum. When resistance levels rise,
operational performance levels diminish in other situations. The motor's
efficiency is always referred to when operational efficiency declines. Slip ring
manufacturers only use this process for a short period of time due to the risk
involved.

Electronic input control is possible for brushless engine and driver bundles,
as well as the BHF Series of AC Motor Systems. A programmable regulator
may be easily connected to the engine. There is no need for occasional
assistance or transfer substitution because the engine requires no power
transfers. As a result, the machine is quite stable. Furthermore, the time
required to set up the engine is drastically reduced. Eliminating the transfers
eliminates the flash hubbub that occurs when the hand-off contact focuses open
and close.

As the rotor accelerates, the amount of inflow is reduced until the external
resistance is totally eliminated when the rotor acceleration reaches its
maximum.The level of external resistance flowing in the system is raised when
the resistance is changed to regulate speed. As a result, the rotor's acceleration
level decreases. The formula, T =S/R. T signifies the degree of torque, A
denotes the motor's slip, and R denotes the circuit's resistance.The relationship
elucidates certain key facts about rotor resistance, torque, and torque. The to
torque level decreases as the lack of resistance rises. Given the type of load
that these machines must handle, both the rotor and the motor must deliver a
constant amount of torque without variation. A drop in torque would make the
situation much more dangerous. As a result, in order to increase torque, the
scale at which external resistance must be applied must stay constant.The slip
of the system grows as the amount of resistance increases. As a side note, the
increase in slip is accompanied with a decrease in the motor's speed.

During low-speed operation of an induction motor using the rotor resistance


speed control approach, the slip power in the rotor circuit is squandered as I 2R
loss. As a result, this approach of speed regulation reduces the motor's
efficiency. The rotor circuit's slip power can be recovered and sent back into
the AC supply source. Also the speed of a slip ring induction motor can be
enhanced by lowering the external resistance in the rotor circuit or increasing
the duty cycle value.

Based on the result of the experiment, as we increase the resistance box


the ammeter reading is also increasing. Also, the wattmeter reading is also
increasing meaning they are directly proportional to one another. Furthermore,
as the current and power increasing the speed of induction motor is decreasing.
Concluding that the speed is inversely proportional.
