Key Concepts
  • Stator iron loss (eddy+hysteresis losses) depends on the supply frequency and the flux density in the iron core, is practically constant

  • The rotor iron loss is negligible because frequency of rotor current under normal condition is always small

  • Total rotor Cu loss = \(3I_2^2R_2\)

  • \[\begin{aligned} T_{g} & =\dfrac{P_{2}}{\omega_{s}}=\dfrac{P_{2}}{2\pi N_{s}}\cdots\cdots\mbox{in terms of the rotor input}\\ & =\dfrac{P_{m}}{\omega}=\dfrac{P_{m}}{2\pi N}\cdots\cdots\mbox{in terms of rotor output} \end{aligned}\]
    Gross Torque developed by the motor
  • \[T_{sh}=\dfrac{P_{out}}{\omega}=\dfrac{P_{out}}{2\pi N}\]

Key Concepts
  • \[\begin{aligned} T_{g} & =\dfrac{P_{2}}{2\pi N_{s}/60}=\dfrac{60}{2\pi}\cdot\dfrac{P_{2}}{N_{s}}=9.55\dfrac{P_{2}}{N_{s}}\\ & =\dfrac{P_{m}}{2\pi N/60}=\dfrac{60}{2\pi}\cdot\dfrac{P_{m}}{N}=9.55\dfrac{P_{m}}{N}\\ T_{sh} & =\dfrac{P_{out}}{2\pi N/60}=\dfrac{60}{2\pi}\cdot\dfrac{P_{out}}{N}=9.55\dfrac{P_{out}}{N} \end{aligned}\]
    \(N_s\)\(N\)
  • \[\begin{aligned} \mbox{Stator input}~P_{1} & =\mbox{stator output+stator losses}\\ \mbox{Rotor input}~P_{2} & =\mbox{stator output}\\ \mbox{Rotor gross output}~P_{m} & =\mbox{rotor input}~P_{2}-\mbox{rotor Cu losses} \end{aligned}\]

Key Concepts
  • \[\begin{aligned} T_{g}\times2\pi N & =P_{m}\\ \Rightarrow T_{g} & =\dfrac{P_{m}}{2\pi N} \end{aligned}\]
    is in N-m, then for rotor gross output in r.p.s be the actual speed of the rotor and if If
  • \[T_g=\dfrac{P_2}{2\pi N_s}\]
    If there is no Cu losses in the rotor, then rotor output will equal rotor input and rotor will run at synchronous speed
Key Concepts
  • \[\begin{aligned} \mbox{Rotor gross output }~P_{m} & =T_{g}\omega=T_{g}\times2\pi N\\ \mbox{Rotor input }~P_{2} & =T_{g}\omega_{s}=T_{g}\times2\pi N_{s}\\ \therefore\mbox{Rotor Cu loss} & =P_{2}-P_{m}=T_{g}\times2\pi\left(N_{s}-N\right)\\ \Rightarrow\dfrac{\mbox{Rotor Cu loss}}{\mbox{Rotor input}} & =\dfrac{N_{s}-N}{N_{s}}=s \end{aligned}\]
    Relations:
Key Concepts
  • \[\begin{aligned} \mbox{Rotor Gross Output}~P_{m} & =\mbox{Input}-\mbox{Rotor Cu loss}\\ P_{m} & =P_{2}-sP_{2}\\ P_{m} & =\left(1-s\right)P_{2}\\ \Rightarrow\dfrac{\mbox{Rotor Gross Output}~P_{m}}{\mbox{Rotor Input}~P_{2}}&=\left(1-s\right)=\dfrac{N}{N_{s}}\\ \Rightarrow\mbox{Rotor Efficiency}&=\dfrac{N}{N_{s}}\\ \Rightarrow\dfrac{\mbox{Rotor Cu loss}}{\mbox{Rotor Gross Output}}&=\dfrac{s}{1-s} \end{aligned}\]

    Synchronous watt is that torque which, at the synchronous speed of the machine under consideration, would develop a power of 1 watt
