How Many Turns are Required for an Induction Motor in Different Voltage Levels?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the stator design of induction motors and the number of turns required for different voltage levels. For a single-phase motor designed for 230V AC, approximately 500 turns are needed per pole, while for a lower voltage of 110V AC, about 346 turns are required. It is noted that lower voltage motors necessitate thicker wire due to the same power requirement, as thicker wire reduces resistance. The relationship between the number of turns and the induced flux is highlighted, indicating that the self-induction in the coil is proportional to the square of the number of turns. Understanding these parameters is crucial for effective motor design across varying voltage levels.

I want to known the stator design of an indiction motor. How may turns required for each pole. For exmple if a single phase motors is designed to run at 230v ac, how may turns required in each pole. If the same motor is designed to be run in lower voltage (say 110v ac or 12v ac) what will be the required turns in each pole? Definitely wire required in lower vltage required thicker than higher voltage as the power will be same. Is there any guide to know this?

It's the current that induces the flux. So constant current → constant flux.

The self induction in the coil is proportional to N2, N = number of turns. Reducing N, you can use wire with bigger cross sectional area, thus the resistance in the wire will be reduced by a factor N2 / N1.

So roughly: Say N230V = 500, N110V will be ≈114.

Edit: Sorry about that: . . . . N110V will be ≈346.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
