Motor Testing Methods. Another common load point is known as “Locked Rotor” or “Stalled Torque”. A full current is applied to a Hysteresis Brake, Dynamometer, or by simply clamping or “locking” the motor shaft and energizing the motor. More torque is produced by the Dynamometer/Brake than the motor can produce. In this state the shaft cannot turn, simulating the rotor being “locked” or “blocked”.

This test is very hard on a motor. There is a large amount of current that flows into the rotor, causing it to heat up rapidly. As a result, this test must be performed very quickly. Locked rotor torque testing is important. This criteria indicates whether or not a motor may be more likely to suffer from nuisance tripping during motor starts and determines whether the motor exceed the National Electrical Manufactures Associate (NEMA) locked-rotor current limit.

AC Motors The most common and simple industrial motor is the three phase AC induction motor, sometimes known as the "squirrel cage" motor. Advantages Simple Design The simple design of the AC motor -- simply a series of three windings in the exterior (stator) section with a simple rotating section (rotor). The speed of the AC motor depends only on three variables: The fixed number of winding sets (known as poles) built into the motor, which determines the motor's base speed.

Low Cost Reliable Operation Easily Found Replacements Variety of Mounting Styles DC Motors. Electric Drives - AC Motors - Description and Applications. The induction motor can be considered as an AC transformer with a rotating secondary winding. Transformer Action The stator carries the motor primary windings and is connected to the power source. There are normally no external connections to the rotor which carries the secondary windings. Instead the rotor windings are shorted. When a current flows in the stator windings a current is induced in the shorted secondary windings by transformer action. Torque is produced by the reaction between the induced rotor currents and the air-gap flux created by the stator currents. Many rotor types are used. Since there are no connections to the rotating windings, the costly commutator can be eliminated and with it, a potential source of unreliability. History Torque Generation (Motor Action) When the motor is first switched on and the rotor is at rest, a current is induced in the rotor windings (conductors) by transformer action.

T = k1 BI Slip S = Ns- N Ns Speed Synchronous speed in RPM is given by: f Torque. Electric Motors: lg washer motor, ac power source, neutral conductor. Expert: Brendan - 9/9/2009 QuestionQUESTION: Hi Brendan , I was wondering if you could tell me how to hook up the WD-8074FHB motor from LG frontendloader washer to an AC power source. I need to know how many volts this motor can handle as i cant seem to find any specs on the actual motor itself.I have one and I am putting the power to it through a variac power controller so i can adjust the speed of it. The motor has the three prongs on the top in the small brown rectangle part and i dont know how to put the power to these without having it smoke up although this was dirct power from a 240V AC outlet . Which prongs are for + - and earth etc. And is 240V too much voltage. I don`t need it to run too fast as i can always gear it up but i just don`t want to blow it and also if i should put a fuse or something in the line to the motor so it doesnt overpower.

Im sure i will ask you more later i cant think of any other information you may need or that i may have at the moment . Thanking you. Powered by Google Docs. Powered by Google Docs.
