DIFFERENT TYPES OF ELECTRICAL MOTORS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS
DIFFERENT TYPES OF ELECTRICAL MOTORS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS
all modern industrial and commercial undertakings employ electric drive in preference to mechanical drive because it possesses the following advantages :
It is simple in construction and has less maintenance cost.
speed control is easy and smooth
It is neat, clean and free from any smoke or flue gases.
It can be installed at any desired convenient place thus affording more flexibility in the layout.
It can be remotely controlled.
Being compact, it requires less space.
It can be started immediately without any loss of time.
It has comparatively longer life.
1. DC Series Motor
Since it has high starting torque and variable speed, it is used for heavy duty applications such as electric locomotives, steel rolling mills, hoists, lifts and cranes.
2. DC Shunt Motor
It has medium starting torque and a nearly constant speed.
DC shunt motor is used for driving constant speed line shafts, lathes, vacuum cleaners, wood-working machines, laundry washing machines, elevators, conveyors, grinders and small printing presses etc.
3. Cumulative Compound Motor
Cumulative compound motor is a varying speed motor with high starting torque and is used for driving compressors, variable head centifugal pumps, rotary presses, circular saws, shearing machines, elevators and continuous conveyors etc.
4. Three-phase Synchronous Motor
Because its speed remains constant under varying loads, 3-phase synchronous motor is used for driving continuously operating equipment at constant speed such as ammonia and air compressors, motor generator sets, continuous rolling mills, paper and cement industries.
5. Squirrel Cage Induction Motor
This motor is quite simple but rugged and possesses high overload capacity. It has a nearly constant speed and poor starting torque.
Squirrel cage induction motor is used for low and medium power drives where speed control is not required as for water pumps, tube wells, lathes, drills, grinders, polishers, wood planers, fans, blowers, laundary washing machines and compressors etc.
6. Double Squirrel Cage Motor
It has high starting torque, large overload capacity and a nearly constant speed.
Double squirrel cage motor is used for driving loads which require high starting torque such as compressor pumps, reciprocating pumps, large refrigerators, crushers, boring mills, textile machinery, cranes, punches and lathes etc.
7. Slip Ring Induction Motor
It has high starting torque and large overload capacity. The speed of slip ring induction motor can be changed up to 50% of its normal speed.
Slip ring induction motor is used for those industrial drives which require high starting torque and speed control such as lifts, pumps, winding machines, printing presses, line shafts, elevators and compressors etc.
8. Single Phase Synchronous Motor
Because of its constant speed, single phase synchronous motor is used in teleprinters, clocks, all kinds of timing devices, recording instruments, sound recording and reproducing systems.
9. Single Phase Series Motor
It possesses high starting torque and its speed can be controlled over a wide range. Single phase series motor is generally used for driving small domestic appliances like refrigerators and vacuum cleaners etc.
10. Repulsion Motor
It has high starting torque and is capable of wide speed control.
Moreover, it has high speed at high loads. Repulsion motor is commonly used for drives which require large starting torque and adjustable but constant speed as in coil winding machines.
11. Capacitor Start Induction Motor
It has fairly constant speed and moderately high starting torque. Speed control is not possible. Capacitor-start induction-run motor is generally used for compressors, refrigerators and small portable hoists.
12. Capacitor Start And Capacitor Run Motor
Its operating characteristics are similar to the above motor except that it has better power factor and higher efficiency. Hence, capacitor-start-and-run motors are commonly used for drives requiring quiet operations.
13. Split Phase Induction Motor
This type of motors are cheap and are suitable for easily starting loads where the frequency of starting is limited. This type of motor is not used for drives which require more than 1 KW because of the low starting torque. The various applications are as follows:-
Used in the washing machine, and air conditioning fans.
The motors are used in mixer grinder, floor polishers,Blowers, Centrifugal pumps, Drilling and lathe machine.
14. Shaded Pole Induction Motor
They are suitable for small devices like relays and fans because of its low cost and easy starting.
Used in exhaust fans, hair dryers and also in table fans.
Used in air conditioning and refrigeration equipment and cooling fans.
Record players, tape recorders, projectors, photocopying machines.
Used for starting electronic clocks and single-phase synchronous timing motors
