SN CT aM ete = Re a Sp Tea eter INTRODUCTION There is an increasing demand for small é6lectric motors. Like large motor practice, there should be mectors with characteristics, suited tc the worx they area to do. The Shunt and Series Motors in D. C. will do about all that is required, but D. C. is net very extersively used on lighting circuits where the small motor is naturally connected. Small A. C. motors are zenerally of the single nhase induction type with squirrel cere motors anda split phase start- ing windins which is thrown out of service when full sneed is reached, oy a centrifugal device. These motors run at only one speed and have a very small starting torque. Plain A. C. series motors are also used especially on vacuum cleaners. Such motors have a very bad power factor and emall capacity for the iron used. The writer made a number of tests on a small series motor and tried a compensatins windinz, out still the power fac- tor was low andi sparking bad. Series characteristic is hardly whet is wanted in a small motor, the shunt being greatly preferred. The writer's attention was next turned to the shunt induction motor for sirgis yanrss. Thess have a zood starting torque ania wide speed variation, with a nower factor near unity. Tne overload capac- ity ia also hisher than the plain induction rotor. It is true that the efficisancy is lew, but this is not such an important iter in a small notor for inter:.ittant use. Therefore since the writer could find nothing concerning small rotore of this tyme, it was thought worth while to experinent along this line. THEORY The theory of the gingle phase shunt commutator motor and the sommon single phase squirrel cage induction mo- tor is exactly the same. The shunt motcr consists essentially of a status with a distributed single phase winding similar to the common induction motor and an armature and commutator simklar to a D. C. machine. On the soumutator are four brushes (sreaking of a two pole machine for simplicity) one set narallel to the primary winding and the others at right angles. (See Fig. 1). At steni still the motor is essentially a trans- fer under short circuit, stator winding primary and rotor wind ing secondarv, shorted across y y. Thus the stator current must suprly flux enough to generate a counter E.M.F. equal to the impressed E.M.F. less the local stator impedance and balance the M.M.F. of the rotor current in the transformer axis. The stator circuit is hiczhly inductive thus the current I; the Magnitizing current will lag almost 90° behind the impressed E.M.f., E,. I, causes the flux & which is nearly in phase with it. & generates an E.M.F. E,in both the stator and rotor, lacing 90°. The magnitude of these E.M.F!s varies accord ing to the ratio of transformation. Recauses a current I, to flow across axis y y, de- termined both in magnitude and phase by the local impedance of v the rotor. The primary current I,will then be the resultant of I,the magnetizing current, and I, reversed, or the vectorial difference, (assuming 1 to 1 ratio of transformation). The impressed E. M. F. &,will be the resulitart of a corronert equal and oprosite to E,and of a component i, z,to over core the lo- cal stator impedance and i,r,. Now if the motor is brot up to speed, there will be in E.N.F. EB, (Fig. 3) of line frequency along axis x x, due to the conductors cutting J. Eis proportional to G and the speed aniis either in time phase withor in time-phase oprosi- tion to fluz G@ spending on the direction of rotation. Asswning it to be in time-phase with _ The rotor current I,along the transformer axis sets ur a loaxage fieldgin phase with itself. @ also zensrates an E.M.F. eo, in the speed axis, it is in phase with I,. Thus B,is the vectorial sum of B,and e. The conditions €long the snesd axis are tnose of a transformer on oren circuit since the Counter @.M.F. allows only exciting current to flow. Thus E,causes a current I, laging heavily, this produces a flux @, nearly in quadrature with Ky. GD nas line frequency aniis along x x or risht angles to g mechanically. g by it alterna- tions induces an E.M.F., Esalong x x, 90° behind @ in phase which brings it nearly in orposition to Ey: The vectorial difference between E,and E,is the E.M.F. required to drive I,thru the lo- cal impedance andj resistance. The rotion of the rotor conduc- tors thru the spsed field Q senerates an E.M.F. E,in the trans- former axis, which is in time-phase oprosition to @, and propor- tional to g,an4 the snsed. Thus Eyis nearly in opposition tof E,. E,is the counter &.M.F. of ths motor. @,also produces a WITH. leakage flux g coazial with @.ana in phase,I,. This with the speed generates e,in the transformer axis in phase oprosition to Is. The vector sum of E,, F,and e,give EL, which drives I, thru the local rotor imredance. The limiting speed will be when the counter E.M.F. Fy asd oy e,2nd K,vectorily balance. E,is constant while F de- pends upon the speed. Now if an external E.M.F. in parse with E,or ovrosition such as from line ov taps from stator, is intro- duced across y y, E,will be either increased or decreased and \ tne esrsolwili neve to increase or decrease to keer ur the bal- C ance. This method is used for synsed variation and is used over wide ranges. See Fi 4. fe Again if the speed field can be increased or weak- ' * ened, E,will be changed and the speed will nave to change to again sive equalitrhun. This can ve done by inserting a induic- tance or canacity along x x. A carecity increases I,, thus d, f and &, and reduces speed; an inductance decreases I,thus raises If I,be nade to pass thru stator coils along axis x x which will either boost or buck g, ) E,can be changed, thus the speed. (Fic. 4). # Power factor Compensation. The power factor may ve imnroved by introducing an E.M.F. from the line or stator in the sneed axis. This E.M.F. E is in phase with Isand @ aprroximately and at right angles with Esand Fy. Thus we have three E.M.F's in speed axis. (Fag. &) E, causes I,and @, nearly at right angles to it. @,-arerates Fe # The Inauction Motor--Payley. aging 90° which is a counter F.N.F. to the F intrcedyced. Thus along axis x x, we have two fluxes D, and G,90° out of phase with eech other, therefore they cannot react together to give torque and change the speed. The conductors cutting , generates another speed E.M.F. BE. along the transformer axis in phase with the flux. E, being at right angles to the main speed E.M.F. E.in the y y axis, they corbine to form a new resultant E.M.F. Taking the acticn of this E.M.F. Ri causes Io in y y axis to flow lazing heavily, thus causes flux Bon this exis 90 behind E,. This flux generates E. in both the rotor and the stator, which lags 90 hehind@ or 90° behind the counter E.M.F. in the stator equal and crrosite to E,. Thus E,and E¢ combined to give the stator resultant E.M.F. &, which can be made to either lead or lag behind the primary current I,. All of the theory connected with Fig. 3 holds for a squirrel cage rotor, the end rings at all times keep the rotor bars shorted across the respective axis, thus equavalent to commutator and shorted brushes. i ale (2) ae A (nt Fig 8 —w—— ee eee ee ee ee eS ee SPECIFICATIONS Out rut about 1 4H.

Standard punchinzs can be purchased 2 5/16" diam.}2 round slots 3/8" dian. Standard practice of motors of this size calls for a 5/16" shaft. For mechanical detail, see drawinz. Allowance was made for winding by examining armatures of similar size. Stator The stator used is the same as that of any sin- gle nhase induction motor of two poles. The area of the air gan is the area of one-half the armature surface minus the slot area. As 4 (2x.5x13) = 6 sq. in. Air gap density 22,500 lines rer sq. in.

Allowing 1/16" for insulation of slot and extra roor for winding, makes diameter of slot 7/16". Round slots are used since they are easier to make and give greater air gan area thus greater capacity. The inside diameter of stator is determined so as to give 1/32" air gap (Standard Hand Bock). Outside diameter is determined by ond rocm for coils and castings. The vunching are clamped by a 3/16" bolt. ( Sée drawing for details.) Armature Winding Designing the armature winding according to the transformer E.M.F. Ny actual number of conductors on the armature, the actual nuber turns is N%,. Since they are dis- tributed around the armature, the BMP. in each cotl is equal to the Cos. of the angle of displacenent from the position of Max. E.M.F. Thus the E.M.F. is the resultant as vectorial sum of E.M.F. around a circle. = number turns in one-half the armature or from Ny brush to brush, thus the effective turns would be -« 2 Thus, B= @ fe Assuming 40 volts for the transformer E.M.F.

The Single Phase Motor will not start alone as there is no torque at standstill. For starting purposes a second ainding was put on at right anglea to the main winding, as ina two phase motor. This winding was of fine wire therefore of high resistance, thus the current was slightly in advance of the main current. This gives the polyphase effect. DESIGN.

It was found that the motor would not start with the full voltage on the main winding, s0 an inductance coil was put in series with it, to reduce the starting current anid the locking effect. This also caused the main ourrent to lac still nore, civeing a greater difference in phase. A 40% reduction in voltage was found to be satisfactory the motor would then run up to speed with only 3 acps starting current. 114 113 107 110 107.5 104 Efe. 30.8 41. 49.5 53.2 TEST El 154 158 161 170 183 203 D A v A e Wattea Power Factor 44 . 286 69 438 95 - 59 103 ~605 128 ~69 153 ~75 Torque.
