Power and Machines (ENSC3016) notes I made.
Power types in motor
Type |
Description |
Equivalent terms |
Input power |
Power into machine. V_T=V_{3\phi} , I_L=I_{3\phi} |
P_\text{in} , \sqrt{3}V_TI_L\cos(\theta) |
Output power |
Mechanical output power of the machine, excludes losses |
P_\text{out} , P_\text{load} |
Converted power |
Total electrical power converted to mechanical power, includes useful power and mechanical losses inside machine |
P_\text{conv} , P_\text{converted} , P_\text{mech} , P_\text{developed} , \tau_\text{mech}\times\omega_m |
Airgap power |
Power transmitted over airgap. |
P_\text{AG} , \tau_\text{mech}\times\omega_s |
Mechanical loss |
Power lost to friction and windage |
P_\text{mechanical loss} , P_\text{F\\\&W} , P_\text{friction and windage} |
Core loss |
Power lost in machine magnetic material due to hysteresis loss and eddy currents |
P_\text{core} |
Rotor copper loss |
Due to resistance of rotor windings |
P_r , P_\text{RCL} |
Stator copper loss |
Due to resistance of stator windings |
P_s , P_\text{SCL} |
Miscellaneous loss |
Add 1% to losses to account for other unmeasured losses |
P_\text{misc} , P_\text{stray} |
\begin{align}
P_\text{in}&=P_\text{SCL}+P_\text{RCL}+P_\text{core}+P_\text{F\\\&W}+P_\text{misc}+P_\text{out}\\
P_\text{AG}&=P_\text{RCL}+P_\text{F\\\&W}+P_\text{misc}+P_\text{out}\\
P_\text{mech}&=P_\text{F\\\&W}+P_\text{misc}+P_\text{out}
\end{align}
No-load test
Assumption |
Eqn |
Reason |
rotor current is insignificant |
I_r \approx 0 |
high rotor resistance |
no output mechanical power |
P_\text{out}=0 |
no load |
high rotor resistance |
R_r/s\to \infty |
s\to 0 , high slip at no load |
Using assumptions, remove rotor part of circuit and only consider stator and magnetizing path.
Blocked rotor test
Assumption |
Eqn |
Reason |
ignore magnetizing path |
I_r\ggg I_m |
magnetizing current is low compared to rotor current as rotor resistance is low |
low rotor resistance |
R_r/s\approx R_r |
s\approx 1 , slip is 1 when blocked |
|
X_r\approx f_0/f_{BL}\times X_r' |
X_r'\approx X_{BL}/2 |
|
X_r'\approx X_{BL}/2 |
X_s\approx X_r' |
|
X_s\approx X_r' |
|
Equivalent model
Assumption |
Eqn |
Reason |
|
x_m\approx X_m |
R_c\ggg X_m\Rightarrow r_c\lll x_m |
|
r_c\approx {X_m}^2/R_c |
R_c\ggg X_m\Rightarrow r_c\lll x_m |
