Understanding Rotor RMF in Squirrel Cage & Slip Ring Induction Motors

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the presence of rotor rotating magnetic field (R-RMF) in squirrel cage induction motors (SCIM) compared to slip ring induction motors (SRIM). In SRIM, the three-phase supply to the stator generates an RMF that induces current in the rotor winding, creating its own RMF that is stationary relative to the stator. In contrast, SCIM relies on short-circuited rotor bars and end rings, which do not have a three-phase winding, raising questions about how R-RMF is generated in this design. While both motor types operate on similar principles, the mechanisms of RMF generation differ significantly. Understanding these differences is crucial for grasping the operational characteristics of each motor type.

is the rotor rotating magnetic field(R-RMF) present in squirrel cage induction motor (SCIM).

Is it same as in 3 phase ROTOR winding of slip ring induction motor (SRIM), generating rotor RMF.

* THE 3 phase, supply given to stator 3 phase winding of SRIM, generates (RMF), which cuts the rotor 3 phase winding of SRIM, now this flux cutting action results in emf induction and thus current flow in 3 phase rotor winding of SRIM, due to current, the rotor winding generates its own RMF, this RMF is stationery with respect to stator RMF, thus torque production.

so now, is the above described pattern same in SCIM too, if yes, then how is ROTOR RMF generated, with just rotor bars short circuited with end rings (ie in absence of 3 phase rotor winding).

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
