Power rating for electrical machines indicates the required supply voltage for smooth running of that machine, it also shows the permissible maximum amount of current which can easily flows through the machine. And there will be a chance of breakdown in the machine if those parameters goes beyond this limit. Electric Motor Power Rating Similarly when we discuss about…
Electrical motor in general is an electro-mechanical device that converts energy from electrical domain to mechanical domain. Based on the type of input we have classified it into single phase and 3 phase motors. Among 3 phase motors, induction motors and synchronous motors are more widely used. When a 3 phase electric conductors are placed in…
An electrical motor is such an electromechanical device which converts electrical energy into a mechanical energy. In case of three phase AC operation, most widely used motor is Three phase induction motor as this type of motor does not require any starting device or we can say they are self starting induction motor.For better understanding the principle of three phase…
What is DC Motor? Electrical motors are everywhere around us. Almost all the electro-mechanical movements we see around us are caused either by a AC or a DC motor. Here we will be exploring DC motors. This is a device that converts DC electrical energy to a mechanical energy. Principle of DC Motor This DC or direct…
Electrical Motor The motor or an electrical motor is a device that has brought about one of the biggest advancements in the fields of engineering and technology ever since the invention of electricity. A motor is nothing but an electromechanical device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. Its because of motors, life is what it is today in the…
The classification of electrical drives can be done depending upon the various components of the drive system. Now according to the design, the drives can be classified into three types such as single-motor drive, group motor drive and multi motor drive. The single motor types are the very basic type of drive which are mainly used in…
Whenever the term electric motor or electrical generator is used, we tend to think that the speed of rotation of these machines is totally controlled only by the applied voltage and frequency of the source current. But the speed of rotation of an electrical machine can be controlled precisely also by implementing the concept of drive. The…
What is Hysteresis Motor? Hysteresis motor is defined as a synchronous motor that is having cylindrical rotor and works on hysteresis losses induced in the rotor of hardened steel with high retentivity.It is a single phase motor and its rotor is made of ferromagnetic material with non magnetic support over the shaft. What is the Constructional Feature of Hysteresis Motor?…
