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.

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...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
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...
