CONSTRUCTIONAL DETAILS
Motor has three windings: Two in Rotor and One in Stator.
(i) Primary wdg: Placed on the lower part of the slots of the Rotor.
3 Ø supply at line frequency is fed through slip rings and brushes.
Generates working flux in the machine.
DEE_JRN 1
ii) Regulating Wdg: Placed on the upper part of the slots of the Rotor.
Connected to commutator segments in a manner similar
to that of d.c. machine.
Also known as tertiary wdg / auxiliary wdg / commutator wdg.
DEE_JRN 5
Suppose that the rotor speed is Nr rpm.

Fig. (b) – Brushes parted in one direction - produces sub-synchronous speed.
Injected voltage Ej , is obtained from the section of the regulating wdg between them.
If the center line of this group of conductors is coincident with the centre line of the
corresponding secondary phase, then E2 and Ej are in phase opposition.
Applications
Can be applied to any individual drive requiring
Variable speed. Especially in
(i) Hoisery knitting & Ring spinning m/cs.
(ii) Cranes & Hoists
(iii) Fans & Centrifugal Pumps
(iv) Printing Machinery
(v) Conveyors, Packing machinery & Paper Mills

ADVANTAGES
(i)Good Speed Regulation.
(ii) High p.f. for high speed setting.
(iii) High efficiency at all speeds except NS.
DRAWBACKS
(i)Operating voltage has to be limited to 700V because
the power is to be supplied through slip rings.
(ii)Low p.f. at low speed settings.
(iii) Poor commutation.
(iv) High Cost.
