Exercise 1 Three-Phse Wound-Rotor Induction Mchine with Short- Circuited Rotor EXERCISE OBJECTIVE When you hve completed this exercise, you will know how three-phse woundrotor induction mchine cn operte s three-phse squirrel-cge induction mchine. DISCUSSION OUTLINE The Discussion of this exercise covers the following points: Three-phse wound-rotor induction mchine with short-circuited rotor windings DISCUSSION Three-phse wound-rotor induction mchine with short-circuited rotor windings As previously mentioned, three-phse wound-rotor induction mchines re generlly used insted of three-phse squirrel-cge induction mchines in pplictions requiring mchines with high power rting (bout 0.75 MW, or 1000 hp, nd more). This is due to the fct tht the construction design of the squirrel cge in lrge induction mchines renders them imprcticl to build. Threephse wound-rotor induction mchines re not subject to such limittion, s their rotor is primrily mde of wire wound over the lminted rotor core. Mking threephse wound-rotor induction mchine operte s three-phse squirrel-cge induction mchine is chieved simply by short-circuiting the rotor windings of the three-phse wound-rotor induction mchine. The primry difference between squirrel-cge rotors nd wound rotors is tht the min components of squirrel-cge rotors (i.e., the conducting brs) re permnently short-circuited while the min components of wound rotors (i.e., the windings) re not. This is why it is possible to ccess ech winding of wound rotors seprtely nd impossible to do so for squirrel-cge rotors. If the rotor windings of three-phse wound-rotor induction mchine re short-circuited, however, the primry difference between squirrel-cge rotors nd wound rotors is eliminted. Thus, when the rotor windings of three-phse wound-rotor induction mchine re short-circuited, the mchine opertes exctly s squirrel-cge induction mchine. This mens tht the rotting mgnetic field creted in the sttor induces three-phse voltges in the rotor windings. The induced voltges then cuse current to flow in the rotor windings (s in the conducting brs of squirrel-cge rotors). The currents flowing in the rotor windings crete strong mgnetic field. The interction between the rotting mgnetic field in the sttor nd the mgnetic field creted by the currents in the rotor cretes force between the sttor nd the rotor. This force cuses the rotor to be pulled long in the sme direction s the rotting mgnetic field in the sttor. The torque produced is proportionl to the strength of the sttor rotting mgnetic field nd the strength of the rotor mgnetic field. Festo Didctic 86367-00 5
Exercise 1 Three-Phse Wound-Rotor Induction Mchine with Short-Circuited Rotor Procedure Outline When the rotor windings of three-phse wound-rotor induction mchine re short-circuited, the mchine chrcteristics (e.g., the torque versus speed curve, the efficiency versus mechnicl power curve, the ctive power nd rective power versus mechnicl power curves) re very similr to the chrcteristics of squirrel-cge induction mchine, whether the mchine opertes s motor or s genertor.

The function lso llows recording of the motor prmeters in the Dt Tble t ech step of the speed sweep. Set the Strt Speed prmeter to 100 r/min bove the synchronous speed of the three-phse wound-rotor induction mchine.

When the mchine mechnicl power is of negtive polrity (i.e., when the mchine opertes s genertor), divide ech mchine ctive power vlue by the corresponding mchine mechnicl power vlue, then multiply the result by 100. Do not clculte the mchine efficiency when the mchine mechnicl power is lower thn bout 50 W (positive or negtive).
