BASIC THEORY OF MOTORS Machines that convert electrical energy to rotary or linear motion via electro-magnetic induction Motors consist of two basic electrical assemblies: wound stator & rotor assembly Rotor: laminated cylindrical iron cores with evenly spaced bars of copper /aluminium. Stator: consisting of insulated windings -start and run windings 7

SINGLE PHASE AC MOTORS Up to 2.2kW Types: Resistance Start Induction Run Motor Permanent Split Capacitor Capacitor Start Induction Run Capacitor Run Capacitor Run 12
Single phase motors 13
Resistance Start Induction Run (RSIR) Motor Smaller wire size for start winding-higher resistance than run winding. Low starting torque Pros-no capacitors Cons-limited starting torque, limited kw ratings (up to 1.1kW) 14
Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) Motor Run type capacitor in circuit Pros-Simple, low cost, reliable Cons-low locked rotor torque and efficiency 15
Capacitor Start Induction Run (CSIR) Motor Start cap boosts torque during start up-then disconnected by switch Pros-Locked Rotor Torque Cons-Noisy, relay used to cut out start capacitor 16
Capacitor Start Capacitor Run (CSCR) Motor Start capacitor boosts starting torque; run capacitor ensures smooth operation and boosts efficiency. Pros-Good starting torque, high efficiency Cons-Price of control box 17
THREE PHASE PHASE AC MOTORS Induction (squirrel cage & slip ring or synchronous among others) Commonest are squirrel cage since they are robust & comparatively cheaper 18
Starting Methods of Three Phase Motors High starting current- 5 to 10 times the full load current. Results in huge voltage drop on Mains. Different starting methods used to comply to local laws and regulations Common methods: DOL, Star Delta, Auto Transformer, Soft Starter, VFD. 19
DOL STARTING STAR-DELTA STARTING 20
DOL, STAR-DELTA STARTING 21
Direct-on-line starting Simple and cost efficient Highest possible starting torque High locked rotor current Used for motors <7.5kW Star Delta starting Reduction of locked rotor current by factor of 3 Reduced locked rotor torque Not suitable if the load has low inertia for instance borehole pumps Used for motors 7.5kW or greater. 22
Connection of Three Phase Motor 23
Mainly caused by: Power supply Motor Failure Motor operating conditions Motor installation conditions The breakdowns can be further divided into: Thermal Mechanical Environmental 24
Overload Thermal Breakdown Causes Voltage fluctuations Single phasing Short cycle Surges Improper ventilation Dirt and dust accumulation 25
Vibration Mechanical Breakdown Causes Improper alignment Bearing failure resulting in insulation rubbing of rotor and stator Bearing failure due to: Improper lubrication Excessive belt tension Mis-alignment 26
Moisture/Water Environmental Breakdown Causes Corrosion/Chemicals Rodents/Insects Age 27

Effect of (under)loading on efficiency & power factor 31
Conclusion Motors will last along time if operated within design parameters (voltage, current and temperature) Rules of thumb: A 10 C temperature rise above rated temperature will half the life of a motor A 3.5% voltage unbalance will cause a 25% temperature rise 32
