ICT BASIC ELECTRICAL TECH 100 E 2 Motors and Motor Starting (Modified) #1 Fan Motors
Basic Electric Motor • Stator – Stationary electromagnet • Rotor – Rotating magnet • Movement of the rotor – Rotates by repulsion and attraction of stator 2
Exploded View of Motor STATOR (with windings) ROTOR (with shaft) ] 3
Two-pole stator motor Stator Rotor (Stationary) (Rotates) Polarity reverses (N to S) on stator N S +_ N S Stator repels & attracts rotor into motion When stator is energized the rotor will make a half turn with each half of current cycle 4
Second half of cycle + _ S N Stator continues motion by repelling and attracting S N Polarity reverses (N to S) on stator The alternating current now changes direction 5
Motor Starting All motors need a phase shift to start rotation 6

A Phase Shift is Needed Stator N A phase shift causes rotation S Rotor N This phase shift can be caused by: üA shaded pole üA start winding üA capacitor ü 3 separate phases A magnetic field is formed at a slightly different angle S Stator 8
Shaded-Pole Motors • Low starting torque • Low efficiency • Low cost 9
Examples of Shaded-Pole Motors 10
Starting a Shaded-Pole Motor • Each pole has a copper band attached – The shaded-pole provides the phase shift needed to start rotation • Usually impedance protected – A stalled blade will not cause burned windings 11

Changing Motor Rotation • Shaded-pole motors can be reversed: – First, turn stator around – Second, turn blade around 14
Interesting Motor Fact Motor efficiency: A 100 watt 50% efficient motor will put out 50 watts of work, and 50 watts of heat. 15

Multi-speed Shaded-Pole Motors • Speed depends on winding resistance – Low speed: most resistance – High speed: least resistance • Motor speed is based on where power is connected into the winding Common High Speed Medium Speed Low Speed 19

Split Phase Motors • Have two separate windings, a run and a start • The start winding provides the phase shift for starting • More efficient and have more torque than shaded pole motors 21

Fan Motor with Centrifugal Switch • A mechanical switch is used to de-energize the start winding • The switch is attached to the motor shaft • After the motor starts, centrifugal force opens the switch • The start winding circuit remains open as long as the motor is running 26

Permanent Split Capacitor Motors • A run capacitor is “permanently” wired into the start winding circuit • The capacitor provides partial voltage to the start winding, during start and run 30

Motor Speeds • The synchronous speed of a motor can be determined by the number of its poles. • The more poles, the lower the speed. 35
Calculating ‘Synchronous’ Motor Speeds • One cycle has two current flow reversals • 60 cycles has 120 flow reversals • Speed = (60 Hz x 120 reversals) ÷ Poles Example: 7200 ÷ 2 Motor poles = 3600 RPM 36
Two Pole Motor Windings Courtesy of Copeland 7200 2 = 3600 RPM 37
Four Pole Motor 1 1 2 2 4 7200 4 = 1800 RPM 4 3 3 Courtesy of Copeland 38
Actual ‘Rotor’ Motor Speed • Slippage is the loss of speed from motor load • The ‘rotor’ speed is less than the ‘synchronous’ speed. Common motor speeds: Synchronous: ROTOR: 2 Pole motor: 3600 3450 4 Pole motor: 1800 1750 6 Pole motor: 1200 1050 8 Pole motor: 900 850 39
Multi-Speed PSC Motors • Actually they are “Multi-horsepower” • The windings are tapped so the motor is weaker, running slower under load • Example of a 3 -speed 1/3 HP motor: – High speed is 1/3 HP – Medium speed is 1/4 HP – Low speed is 1/6 HP 40

Common Motor Types 53
Motor Enclosure Types • • Open Dripproof Totally enclosed fan cooled 54
Open Enclosure Types Open Dripproof Totally Open Note: Prevents direct entry of moisture Clean and Mostly Dry Locations Clean and Dry Locations 55

Rigid Mount Motor housing is welded to the base 59
Belly Band Mounting Motor slides into ring. Then band is tightened 60
Stud Mounts Studs are bolted to fan guard or housing. 61
