Three-Phase Motors Rotating Magnetic Field The principle of operation for all three-phase motors is the rotating magnetic field. The magnetic field rotation is caused by: – voltages are 120° out of phase. – voltages periodically change polarity. – the arrangement of the stator windings.

Three-Phase Motors Three-phase stator and three voltage sine waves.

Three-Phase Motors The magnetic field is concentrated between poles 1 A and 1 B.

Three-Phase Motors Synchronous Speed Synchronous speed is the rotational speed of the magnetic field. Synchronous speed is determined by: – the number of stator poles per phase. – the frequency of the applied voltage.

Three-Phase Motors Synchronous Speed S = (120 x F) / P S = synchronous speed in RPM F = frequency in Hz P = number of stator poles

Three Phase Motors Torque Three factors determine the amount of motor torque: – the strength of the stator magnetic fields. – the strength of the rotor magnetic fields. – the phase angle difference between the rotor and stator fields.

Three-Phase Motors Phase Rotation The direction of rotation is either clockwise or counterclockwise. Reversing any two of the stator leads will reverse the direction of rotation. A phase rotation meter can determine the direction of rotation. Motor stator leads are often called T leads.

Three Phase motors Slip An induction motor never reaches synchronous speed. Slip is the difference between synchronous speed and rotor speed. Percent slip is the ratio of slip to synchronous speed times 100.

Three-Phase Motors 12 -Lead Dual-Voltage Motors Some motors will have 12 T leads brought to the terminal box instead of the usual 9 leads. These motors are intended for wye-delta starting. Wye-delta starting helps limit inrush starting current.
