One of the disadvantages of the 3 phase induction motor is that it requires a three wire supply. The other disadvantage is that the 3 phase induction motors have poor starting torque and high have in the rush currents.

Difference between transformer and induction motor?

1. Induction Motor has an air-gap but transformer has no air gap rather it is mutually link. 2. Induction Motor has high no-load current than transformer. 3. Induction Motor is a dynamic device. 4. Induction Motor has high power factor.


What is a 3 phase motor that can run with a slip of zero called?

Synchronous motor


How do you differentiat dc motior and ac motor physicaly?

if you power an ac motor with dc or a dc motor with ac you will likely start smelling smoke and the motor will be damaged. If the motor is marked "3-phase", "shaded pole", or "induction" it is an ac motor! BTW, there are ac/dc motors that will run on both, they are wound very much like dc motors but a bit differently.


What is phase fail protection?

In a 3 phase power system, say for a 3 phase motor - it is necessary to have all three phases intact to be able to run the motor efficiently, safely. If any one phase fails , the motor still continues to run but the temperature raises rapidly, due to high current. The motor winding can burn out, can trip off due to overload. Hence a device called phase failure relay is connected. It constantly reads all the 3 phases and cuts off the main supply in case any one phase fails.


Why ground the neutral of a 3 phase ac motor?

In a three phase motor each leg (3 phases) in the down cycle alternating at 1/60 per second servers as a neutral, you are only required to ground (green) the frame of the motor for safety. This is similar In a single phase motor wired for 240v (2 phases) the same thing happens and you are only required to ground (green) the frame of the motor for safety. From: Ken F

Load test on 3 phase induction motor?

When you do a load test on a 3-phase induction motor you are checking the power factor, viz slip, and efficiency of the motor. You can test various loads with this test.


Is a 3 phase motor a Synchronous motor?

A synchronous motor can be a type of 3-Phase AC motor, or not.A synchronous motor is defined by the period of the rotor being synchronized with the frequency of the stator windings' current. The stator windings might be 3-Phase or not (2-Phase would work).Also synchronous motors are not the only type of 3-Phase AC motors. An induction motor could also be 3-Phase AC and has a few advantages and disadvantages over a synchronous motor.


How single-phase induction motor classified?

The single phase induction motors are made self starting by providing an additional flux by some additional means. Now depending upon these additional means the single phase induction motors are classified as: 1.Split phase induction motor. 2.Capacitor start inductor motor. 3.Capacitor start capacitor run induction motor. 4. Shaded pole induction motor.

How does the 3-phase induction motor acts like 2-phase induction motor if a phase is disconnected from supply?

yes the motor will run but will draw more current and the torque will be not constant means not smooth due to unbalanced current
