Symmetrical and unsymmetrical 2-phase Induction Machine
The analysis of 2-phase induction machine is same as the 3-
phase induction machine except small changes in 3-phase machine. The symmetrical and unsymmetrical 2-phase induction machines are generally used in 1-phase applications such as refrigerators, washing machines, clothes dryers, furnace fans, garbage dispoals,and air conditioners. In case of symmetrical 2-phase machine a capacitor is connected in series with one of the stator winding to shift the phase of one stator current relative to other, thereby producing an average starting torque. In case of unsymmetrical 2-phase machine, a starting is produced by designing the starter windings to be electrically different, in some cases ,placing a capacitor in series with one of the winding. Analysis of symmetrical 2-phase induction Machine The analysis of 2-phase induction is similar to the 3-phase Induction Machine. The voltage and torque equations expressed in machine variables may be obtained by following the procedure used for the 3 phase machine. Voltage and torque equations in arbitrary reference frame variable: The stator 2-phase voltage is converted into the qd Transformation to arbitrary reference variable. The general transformation is : -----(1)
where: The transformation matrix and its inverse are equal; that is,
Transformation of the 2-phase variables of the rotor circuits to the
arbitrary reference frame is;
Where
The voltage equations for 2-phase induction machine similar to the
3-phase induction except some modification. In 2-phase only (qs,qr,ds,sr variables exist,0s,0r should be ignored).,in the case of 3-pahse machine, LM=3/2Lms (XM =3/2 Xms) ;for the 2-phase ,LM(XM) should be replaced by Lms(Xms). The torque equation becomes for 2-phase machine is
Balances Steady-State Operation:
The equivalent circuit for balanced steady-state operation of a3- phase symmetrical induction machine is may be used for a2- phase symmetrical machine if XM is replaced with Xms. The 2-phase symmetrical steady-state electromagnetic torque is given by
