Induction Motor : Stator, Rotor and Its Principle

0. Induction Motor
  The induction motor is invented by the scientist Nikola Tesla and it is the most common motor type even today (Around 90%). About 50% of global electric power consumption is due to induction motors. The induction motor has basically two main parts: Stator and Rotor.

1) Stator: Stationary Part

The stator is the stationary part of an induction motor like Fig 1-2. It is made up of various stampings with slots to carry 3 phase windings. The windings are geometrically divided 120 degrees separated. It
does not require DC current to run the machine.

2) Rotor: Rotating Part

2. :Various Rotors
  The rotor is the rotating part of the induction motor. The rotor is simply a collection of conducting bars short-circuited by end rings. Its rotation is because of the interaction between the windings and magnetic fields producing a torque around the rotor's axis. There are many kinds of rotors: Squirrel-cage rotor, Wound rotor, Salient pole rotor, Cylindrical rotor and etc... In an induction rotor, we normally use a Squirrel-cage rotor and Wound rotor.

3) Its Principle

Fig. 3-1 is the picture that explains how induction motor works. The winding passes through the slots of the stator. The AC power(3-phase current) is supplied to the motor's stator creates a rotating magnetic field. This RMF is what causes the rotor to turn. Fig

3-2. Induced current in the loop 

3-2 explains how 3 phase current through the winding of stator can make RMF. Assuming that a closed conductor is put inside it, according to the Lorentz Force law, an electromagnetic force is produced on the loop like Fig 3-2. In an induction motor, the rotor always lags behind the RMF. The same thing happens in the rotor part.
3-3. Rotor
 Fig 3-3 explains how RMF can affect Rotor. According to the Lorentz Force law, the rotor got forced to the direction of the purple arrows and it makes the rotor turn.

 Let's think about why induction motors rule both the industrial and domestic worlds! Induction motors don't need a permanent magnet. They do not have brushes, commutator rings, or position sensors. They are more simple than other electrical machines. The most advantage of induction motors is that their speed can be controlled easily by the input power frequency.

NPC Inverter and Psim Simulation

1. 3-Level NPC Type Inverter Fig 1. 3-Level NPC Type Inverter Fig 2, Switching  Fig 1 is 3-Level NPC Type Inverter and Fig 2 indicates how it works.  Fig 2 indicates how each switch is activated. There are 3 switching states which are called P, O, N. In each state, the output voltage becomes +V_dc/2, 0, -V_dc/2. Fig 3. Switching Mode  Left in Fig 3 indicates circuits when positive voltage and the right one is for negative voltage. Let's check how it works! Considering P switching state in positive voltage, S1 and S2 are on, and S3 and S4 are off. So we can ignore the circuit below. As a result, the output voltage is +V_dc/2. In the same way, you can see how the rest works. 2. Control Fig 4, SPWM  In Fig 4, we can see how SPWM works. The offset voltage is applied to control the circuit. The common value for offset voltage is 0. It makes the reference polarity voltage and the reference phase voltage same. 3. Circuit Fig 5. Circuit for Psim Simulation 1

Voltage Source Inverter

Voltage Source Inverter  Voltage source Inverter is a device that converts power from a DC constant voltage source into AC form by switching behavior. The output voltage has a switching waveform and the output current has AC form. It is classified into two inverters: square wave inverter and PWM inverter. Fig 2. Voltage Source Inverter 2 Fig 1. Voltage Source Inverter 1 It consists of 3 pairs of 2 switching components. Depending on the switching condition, input and output voltage are determined. In order to prevent short circuit accident, switching component works in a commensurate way. 1. 3 Phase 2-Level Inverter Fig 3. General Circuit of 3 phase 2-level inverter Fig 3 is a common circuit of an 3 phase 2-level inverter. Line voltage has 3 level form which is +Vdc, 0, and -Vdc, The detail about this inverter is explained in one of my past posts titled as "Inverter: Single Phase Inverter and 3 Phase Inverter"  2. 3 Phase 3-Level Invert
