VFD is a short form of a variable frequency drive also called Frequency converters, which has undergone extremely rapid changes, largely as a result of the development of microprocessor and semiconductor devices and their reduction in prices. However, the basic…
A three-phase AC induction motor is a constant-speed motor as a DC shunt motor. But the speed of the DC shunt motor can be changed smoothly simply using rheostats. This maintains the speed regulation and efficiency of the DC shunt…
Reading Induction Motor Nameplate sometimes very difficult and challenging because the nameplates Often get dirty, painted, and rusted as they get old. So reading motor information becomes frustrating. You will need motor information for installation of VFD, starter design, power…
Induction motor is mostly used motor in the industry as well as in domestic application because it’s a simple design, reliable operation, rugged construction, and simple control gear for starting, speed control, and three phase induction motor braking like plugging, dynamic…
Winding insulation resistance checking of three-phase / single phase Motor The motor is mostly used machine to drive loads in the industry, for pumping, elevators, and conveyor belts. so its reliability must be maintained, for the long life of the…
A Slip Ring Induction Motor is a type of asynchronous induction motor. Slip ring induction motors rotor is wound identically to the stator and is connected through rotating electrical contacts known as slip rings. These slip rings let the induction…
Single-phase salient pole synchronous motors are called reluctance motors. the stator of the reluctance motor has the main winding and the auxiliary winding the same as the single-phase induction motor. The motor starts as an induction motor. It is pulled…
Types of insulation classes used in electrical motor/ transformer There are three main categories of insulating materials, gases, liquids, and solids. The types of insulating materials are classified mainly based on thermal capability. types of insulation classes for electric motors…
Double Revolving Field Theory The double field revolving theory of single phase induction motor is proposed to explain this problem of no torque developed at starting and yet torque once rotated. Double revolving field theory is based on the fact…
While selecting an induction motor, Motor Duty Cycle must be considered to meet the induction motor application requirement. The duty types are indicated on motor nameplate data by S1, S2… In the absence of an indication of the rated duty…
