Best Answer

Voltage reduction usually results in an increase in load current which, ultimately, will cause the machine's overcurrent protection to operate and disconnect the motor. This overcurrent may also result in increased voltage drops along the supply lines that can exacerbate the situation as well as affecting other consumers that share the same supply.

Slip power in a induction motor?

slip power is a power which is develop by the induced voltage and current in an induction motor


Where ac voltage controllers are used?

What is the power factor of an induction motor?

Induction motor comprised inductor as the most part in it and an inductor has the characteristic to oppose the change of current, i.e., it has lagging power factor as current lags behind the voltage. Hence, an induction motor works on lagging power factor.


Disadvantages of a squirrel cage motor?

Squirrel Cage Induction Motor Disadvantages:Some of disadvantages or demerits of squirrel cage induction motors are listed below:Main disadvantage of squirrel cage induction motor is that they have poor starting torque and high starting currents. Starting torque will be in the order of 1.5 to 2 times the full load torque and starting current is as high as 5 to 9 times the full load current. In slip ring induction motors, higher starting torque can be attained by providing an external resistance in the rotor circuits during starting of the slip-ring induction motor. This arrangement in slip-ring induction motors also reduces the high inrush currents during starting of induction motor.Squirrel cage induction motors are more sensitive to the supply voltage fluctuations. When the supply voltage is reduced, induction motor draws more current. During voltage surges, increase in voltage saturates themagnetic components of the squirrel cage induction motor.Speed control is not possible in squirrel cage induction motor. This is one of the major diadvantages of squirrel cage induction motors.The total energy loss during starting of squirrel cage motor is more compared to slip ring motors. This point is significant if the application involves frequent starting


What is the effect of increasing number of poles on the speed of an induction motor?

As the number of poles (P) increases, the speed of an induction motor (N) decreases. As seen by the formula: N=(120*f)/P

What is the current to an induction motor at 90 percent voltage?

It depends on the impedance of the induction motor. By rearranging ohms law, I=V/R where V would be 90% of Vmax


Why voltage dips at the starting of induction motor?

When an induction motor starts up, it draws a large current, 6-8 times for direct on line starting and around 3 times for star delta or soft starting. This results in the voltage dipping. VSD controlled induction motors which start from zero speed do not result in voltage dips.

What is the effect of induction motor on power factor?

An induction motor has a lagging power factor. Motors of more than about 2 HP are designed to have a power factor of 0.85 or higher.


What is the solution for running three phase induction motor at voltage less than its rated voltage to drive full load?

The solution to this problem is to get the same size motor in HP at the correct voltage. This way the motor can correctly drive the connected full load without tripping the motor protection.


What is constant kva load?

A constant KVA load is an electrical load which has a constant apparent power consumption regardless of small changes in voltage. Constant KVA loads in industry are typically electric motor loads such as induction motors. The interesting thing about an induction motor and why it is called a constant KVA load is, for a constant level of torque output of the motor, if the terminal voltage decreases by say 5% the motor current will actually increase by about 5%. Note that this constant KVA effect will only occure withing an narrow range of voltage deviation. This is the opposite of a static (constant Z) load which if the voltage decreases the current decreases.
