Three Phase Motor

An Three Phase Motor induction motor or 3 phase induction motor can be an AC electric motor in which the electric energy in the rotor had a need to produce torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding

An induction electric motor which connects with a 3-phase supply called 3-phase induction motor. Example fans,blowers, cranes,traction .It is a ac electric motor. The primary drawback of DC motors may be the presence of commutator and brushes, which require regular maintenance and we can not use DC motor in explosive and dirty environment. But induction motors are cheaper,rugged,lighter,smaller,require much less maintenance and may use in filthy and explosive environment. Slide s is the imp aspect in this kind of motor.

There are 2 types of IM.

Squirrel cage IM

Slip ring IM

There are numerous starting and braking condition.

Important starting methods are

Star-delta starter

Auto transformer starter

Ac voltage controller starter

Rotor resistance starter

Important braking methods are

Regenerative braking

Plugging or invert voltage braking

Dynamic braking

But one thing speed control technique of induction motor is important

Pole changing

Stator voltage control

V/f control

Slip power recovery

Rotor resistance control
