Induction motor

VFD-Working Principle and Block Diagram

VFD is a short form of a variable frequency drive also called Frequency converters, which has undergone extremely rapid changes, largely as a result of the development of microprocessor and semiconductor devices and their reduction in prices. However, the basic working principles of frequency converters remain the same. Other names of VFD are variable speed […]

Why single-phase induction motor is not self-starting-reason,make self starting?

Why single-phase induction motor is not self-starting? Single-phase induction motor Starting winding to make self starting A single phase induction motor is very similar to a three phase squirrel cage induction motor except for single-phase motor, not self-starting.It has (i)  a squirrel-cage rotor as to a 3-phase motor and (ii) a single-phase winding on the stator Unlike a 3-phase induction motor, a […]

The three-phase induction motor is one of the most widely used motors in various industrial applications. Its robust construction, simplicity, and versatile nature make it a preferred choice for powering machinery and equipment. In this article, we will delve into the working principle, construction, advantages, disadvantages, and applications of the three-phase induction motor. Introduction to […]

How to measure insulation resistance of motor winding.

Winding insulation resistance checking of three-phase /  single phase Motor The motor is mostly used machine to drive loads in the industry, for pumping, elevators, and conveyor belts. so its reliability must be maintained, for the long life of the motor its periodic inspection must be carried out without fail. one of the most important […]

Induction Motor Braking-Plugging, dynamic, regenerative

Induction motor is mostly used motor in the industry as well as in domestic application because it’s a simple design, reliable operation, rugged construction, and simple control gear for starting, speed control, and three phase induction motor braking like plugging, dynamic and regenerative braking. The most simple method to stop the motor is to disconnect the […]

How to read the Induction Motor Nameplate data

Reading Induction Motor Nameplate sometimes very difficult and challenging because the nameplates Often get dirty, painted, and rusted as they get old. So reading motor information becomes frustrating. You will need motor information for installation of VFD, starter design, power factor correction, connecting to load In this article, we will discuss each parameter mentioned on […]
