Description

3 Phase Induction Motor ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Learn Advance 3D animation - https://www.lifeada.com/courses/Beginners-to-Advance-3D-Animation-664c82fc4422350ae0f7cc6d ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHUByLzh_XbWd5-R9ZFJNCQ/join ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Video:- a 3 phase induction motor can rotate at high speed even though its rotor does not receive any direct electrical supply. in this video, the complete working principle of a three phase induction motor is explained through simple concepts and detailed 3d animation. the video explains how three phase ac supply creates a rotating magnetic field inside the stator. it also shows how this magnetic field cuts the squirrel cage rotor bars and induces emf and current in them. according to lenz’s law, the induced magnetic field opposes the reason that created it, producing electromagnetic torque and making the rotor rotate. you will also understand stator winding arrangement, coil span, motor poles, synchronous speed, rotor speed and slip. the video explains why an induction motor rotor can never reach synchronous speed during normal motor operation. the causes of high starting current, rotor locking and humming noise are also covered. finally, the video explains wound rotor starting and the star-delta starting method, including star and delta winding connections, motor terminals and the reason a motor initially starts in star connection before changing to delta connection. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- topic covered in this video:- construction and working of a 3 phase induction motor generation of rotating magnetic field squirrel cage rotor working electromagnetic induction in rotor bars electromagnetic torque generation faraday’s law and lenz’s law synchronous speed and rotor slip stator winding, slots, coil span and motor poles rotor locking and high starting current wound rotor and star-delta starting methods ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reference video:- Submersible pump - https://youtu.be/OSou7RZsu4s ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact me:- X(Twitter) - https://x.com/hr_harish2 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LifeAda2.0 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/life_ada2.0/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Me -: Name - Harish Qualification : Electrical & Computer Engineer ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your learning tells your quality, improve your learning with LifeAda your quality will definitely improve.
