SINGLE PHASE MOTORS ILM Flashcards
What is a split phase motor?
electromechanical device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Functions by splitting the applied power between two parallel windings.
the auxiliary winding is also referred to as?
start winding
main winding is also known as?
run winding
What is the RSIR motor?
separate start and run windings. These windings differ in resistance and inductance.
RSIR phase angle?
each winding has a different phase angle, the difference between these two cause the rotor inside the stator to turn
Once the RSIR motor reaches 75% of its rated speed?
the centrifugal switch interrupts the current to the start winding
what are the components of a RSIR motor?
stator,rotor,start switch,frame
what is the RSIR stator made of?
laminated iron plates that are stacked to form a cylinder, constructed with slots to receive the windings, both the start and run windings are mounted here. electrically out of phase by 90 in a two pole.
RSIR start winding is?
lighter gauge, greater resistance, fewer turns therefore it has less inductance, lower impedance, higher amp draw
RSIR run winding is?
heavier gauge wire, less resistance, greater number of turns, causing greater inductance, higher impedance, lower amp draw
What are the moving parts of the RSIR?
rotor and rotor shaft, turns and delivers the mechanical energy. Called torque.
What is the RSIR rotor made of?
laminated steel core that is pressed onto the rotor shaft. Mounted inside the motor housing.
End bells?
contain the motor bearings, support the rotor and centre the rotor inside the stator
RSIR start switch?
interrupts the power to the start winding once the motor has reached 75% of its full run revolutions per min.
Current relay?
motor current starting switch, has a coil connected in series with the run winding. NO contacts wired in series with the start winding.
What is a centrifugal switch?
motor starting device, mounted on the end of the rotor inside the motor frame. Switch is closed when the rotor is stationary. Switch opens when the motor rotation reaches its 75% of its full rate. Switch disconnects the start winding from the power supply.
What is the initial starting torque of the RSIR?
160-175% of the normal running torque
What are the two capacitor start motors?
capacitor start induction run motor and capacitor start capacitor run motor.
What is the biggest difference between a RSIR and a CSIR?
the CSIR has a start capacitor in series with the start winding of the stator.
What components does a CSIR have?
stator, rotor, start switch, frame and start capacitor
What is a start capacitor?
electrical storage device, consists of two conductor plates separated by an insulator or dielectric material. Enclosed in a cylindrical bakelite (plastic) container. Only in the circuit for a short time. 3 secs or less.
Why do you want a start capacitor in a CSIR motor?
causes the start winding current to lead voltage and the run winding by up to 90 degrees
