Does stator rotate in induction motor?

Does stator rotate in induction motor?

Parts of an induction motor The Stator is the stationary part and the rotor is the rotating part. The stator is basically a 3 coil winding and three phase AC power input is given to it.

What is stator in synchronous motor?

The stator and rotor are the two main parts of the synchronous motor. The stator is the stationary part, and the rotor is the rotating part of the machine. The three-phase AC supply is given to the stator of the motor. The stator and rotor both are excited separately.

Can synchronous motor rotate at any speed other than the synchronous speed?

A synchronous motor with only a field winding carrying a direct current would not be self-starting. At any speed other than synchronous speed, its rotor would experience an oscillating torque of zero average value as the rotating magnetic field repeatedly passes the slower moving rotor.

What happens to synchronous motor if only field is excited?

In a Synchronous Motor, a rotating magnetic field is produced in stator by giving 3 phase AC supply. If AC excitation is given then alternate North and South Pole is created on rotor field the rotor move half cycle clockwise and half cycle anti clockwise and finally stops to rotate.

In what direction does magnetic field of the stator rotate?

The rotor has a constant magnetic field. The north pole of the rotor will move toward the south pole of the magnetic field of the stator, and vice versa.

How do you control speed of synchronous motor?

Speed of synchronous motors can be controlled using two methods called open loop and close loop control. Open loop contol is the simplest scalar control method where motor speed is controlled by independent frequency control of the converter.

Why does the stator rotate in a synchronous generator?

In a synchronous generator, the stator magnetic field rotates behind the rotor magnetic field with respect to torque angle. It is the relative motion between the rotor magnetic field and the stator windings that allows the magnetic field of the rotor to produce current in the stator.

Why does the rotor never catch up with the stator?

In the case of the induction motor the rotor never catches up with the rotating field of the stator because if it did the induced voltage would be zero as there is no relative movement between the rotor and the stator field. What changes in the synchronous generator that makes the stator field rotate as fast as the rotor field?

How is the speed of a synchronous motor achieved?

The constant speed characteristic is achieved by interaction between a constant and rotating magnetic field. Rotor of synchronous motor produces a constant magnetic field and Stator produces a Rotating magnetic field. The field coil of stator is excited by a 3 phase AC supply.

How does an induction motor differ from a synchronous generator?

In the induction motor, the rotor structure must turn at a slower speed than the magnetic fields while in a synchronous motor, the rotor structure must move synchronously. In a synchronous generator, the stator magnetic field rotates behind the rotor magnetic field with respect to torque angle.
