Speed Control of 3-Phase Induction Motor

The document outlines methods to control the speed of a 3-phase induction motor, including cascade connections, rotor resistance variation, and pole changing methods. It details the apparatus required and the procedure for each method, along with a table of observed results for different pole configurations. The results indicate that speed can be effectively controlled by adjusting the number of poles and current values.

SPEED CONTROL OF 3 PHASE

INDUCTION MOTOR

D.BHAGIRATH | 100524736066 |MECH 1ST YEAR


AIM:
To control the speed of a 3-phase induction motor on no- load by

1. Connecting the machines in cascade.

2. Varying the resistance included in the rotor circuit of a slip ring induction

motor.

3. Varying the number of poles on the stator of a 3-phase squirrel cage induction motor

APPARATUS:

External Rheostat 1500 Ω, 1.2 amps,
3 1114Ω, 1.3 amps 2
3 phase variac 44o V, 20 amps

PROCEDURE:
1. Cascade connections:

Make the connections as shown in the circuit diagram with suitable range of meter

for cumulative cascade connections. Note down the input current, voltage and

speed of the cascade set.

2. Rotor resistance control:

Make the connections as per the circuit diagram given. Start the machine using 3-

phase, variac and keeping the rotor resistance included in its maximum position.

PAGE 1
Note the voltage applied, current and speed in this case repeat the procedure by

gradually decreasing the resistance included in the rotor circuit.

3. Pole changing method:

Make the connections as per the given circuit diagram for different poles on the

stator. In each case start the machines using a 3-phase varaic. Adjust the voltage

applied to its rated value and note down the input current and speed of the motor.

Tabulate the result obtained for the above three methods of speed control.
