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.
Are any capacitor in three phase induction motor?
There doesn't have to be but capacitors are sometimes used to correct the power factor.
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.
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.
How do you start three phase induction motor?
Three Phase Induction Motor is self starting motor so you can start it by conneting to power lines directly if the power line capacity is sufficient.
Why the no load power factor is quite small in case of 3-phase induction motor?
Induction motors are designed for a certain power. If the power demand is lower than that, you still have to setup the magnetic fields as if you were going to supply that maximum power. As a result, the no-load power factor of an induction motor is quite small, i.e. poor.
How can phase advancers improve the power factor?
PHASE ADVANCER:phase advancers are used to improve the power factor of induction motors.The low power factor of an induction motor is due to the fact that its stator winding draws exciting current which lags behind the supply voltage by 90 degree.If the exciting ampere turns can be provided from some other A.C. source,then the stator winding will be relieved of exciting current and the power factor of the motor can be improved.This job is accomplished by the phase advancer which is simply an A.C exciter.The phase advancer is mounted on the shaft as the main motor and is connected in the rotor circuit of the motor. It provides exciting ampere turns to the rotor circuit at slip frequency.By providing more ampere turns than required,the induction motor can be made to operate on leading power factor like an over-excited synchronous motor.
How does identify the capacitor capacity for 1.5 kw single phase motor?
If the power factor is 0.7 the reactive power equals the real power, so the capacitor should be 1.5 kVAr. That is a reasonable estimate for a small induction motor.
Application of induction motor in industry?
Induction motor used in industries for variable speed machines . Induction motor has always lagging power factor. Less cost compared to syn. Motor.
Why you use only single phase induction motor not other?
You would use a single-phase induction motor if the available electric power supply is a single-phase one. That applies to the average house or small business.
What are the advantages of single phase induction motor?
the torque requirement of single phase induction motor is less,and it is use for low power applications upto 1 to 10 kw.like in fans,mixiers
Which type of the motor is used in fan?
Low-power (a few watts) might use a synchronous motor, most fans use an induction motor. Above a couple of horse-power it might be a 3-phase induction motor.
