Advanced AC Motor Principles

Train in the relationship between phased current and rotor spin and induction and its effect on a rotor. Slip and how to calculate slip using its formula are also covered.

Prerequisites

Review of the lesson, Introduction to AC Components and Motors, or knowledge of AC motor components and magnetic principles is recommended.

Description

The second lesson in the iKNOW® AC/DC Motor Theory Library, this lesson explains synchronous speed and how to calculate it. The lesson demonstrates the relationship between phased current and rotor spin and induction and its effect on a rotor. Slip and how to calculate slip using its formula are also covered.

Objectives

Explain and be able to calculate synchronous speed. Explain induction and its effect on a rotor. Explain the relationship between phased current and rotor spin. Explain slip and know its formula.
