Starting Torque in Three Phase Induction Motor

STARTING TORQUE

 

Let

 R2 = Rotor resistance per phase

 X2 = Rotor reactance per phases

 Z2 = Rotor impedance per phases

Z2 = √[ R22 + x22 ]

E2 = Rotor emf per phase at standstill

Rotor current/phase, I2 = E2/Z2

Starting torque Tst = KE2I2 cos ϕ2


It supply voltage V is constant, Then the flux ϕ and hence E2 both are constant.


Where,

K2 is some other constant.

 

1. Starting Torque of a Squirrel‒Cage Motor

Squirrel cage motors have starting torque of 1.5 to 2 times the full‒load value with starting current of 5 to 7 times the full‒load current. Since the rotor bars are permanently short circuited, it is not possible to add any external resistance in the rotor circuit at starting period. Hence such motors are not useful where the motor has to start against heavy loads.

 

2. Starting Torque of a Slip ring motor

The resistance of the rotor circuit of such motors can be varied through the addition of external resistance. By adding the proper value of external resistance (R2 = X2) maximum starting torque can be obtained. As the motor accelerates, the external resistance is gradually cut out until the rotor circuit is short‒circuited on itself for running conditions.
