 The equivalent circuit of an induction motor is similar to that of the
transformer.

 The stator model of an induction motor consists of a stator phase

winding resistance R1, a stator phase winding leakage reactance X1.
 The no-load current I0 is simulated by a pure inductive reactor
X0 taking the magnetizing component Iµ and a non-inductive resistor
R0 carrying the core-loss current Iω.

 Power flow in Induction Motor
There are two types of losses in induction motor
 Constant or fixed losses,
 Variable losses.
Constant or Fixed Losses
 The fixed losses can be obtained by performing no-load test on the
three phase induction motor.
 These losses are further classified as
1. Iron or core losses
2. Mechanical losses
3. Friction losses

13
 Power flow in Induction Motor
Iron or Core Losses: Iron or core losses are further divided into
hysteresis and eddy current losses.
 Eddy current losses are minimized by using lamination on core.
 Hysteresis losses are minimized by using high grade silicon
steel.

Mechanical and Brush Friction Losses:

 Mechanical losses occur at the bearing and brush friction loss

occurs in wound rotor induction motor.

14
 Power flow in Induction Motor
Variable Losses

15
 Power flow in Induction Motor
Variable Losses:

 These losses are also called copper losses.

 These losses occur due to current flowing in stator and
rotor windings.
 As the load changes, the current flowing in rotor and
stator winding also changes and hence these losses also
changes.
 Therefore these losses are called variable losses.
 The copper losses are obtained by performing blocked
rotor test on three phase induction motor.

 Multiple Choice Questions
1. The term „cogging‟ is associated with
(a) Three-phase transformer (b)Compound Generator
(c) Induction motor (d) D.C series motor
Ans: (c)
Explanation:

 During the starting of squirrel cage induction motor if the number of

stator slots is equal to the number of rotor slots or an integral
multiple of rotor slot then it causes magnetic locking between stator
and rotor slot.
 The upper and lower attracting force between the stator and rotor
slot becomes more prominent than the tangential force, as a result,
the rotation of the motor is stopped.
21
 2. The crawling in the induction motor is caused by
(a) High Loads
(b) Low Voltage supply
(c) Harmonic developed in the motor
(d) Improper design of machine
Ans: (c)
Explanation:

 The crawling word it self-suggest crawl means moving with

low speed.
 This characteristic is the result of improper functioning of the
motor that means either motor is running at very slow speed
or it is not taking the load.
 The resultant speed is nearly 1/7th of its synchronous speed.
22
 3. No load test of 3-phase induction motor used to determine
(a) Variable loss (b) Constant loss
(c) Eddy current loss only (d) Hysteresis loss only

Ans: (b)

Explanation:

 This test is similar to the open circuit test of a transformer.

 The motor is uncoupled from its load and the rated voltage and
frequency is applied to the stator.
 Since the motor runs at no load, the total input power is equal to
constant iron-loss, friction loss, and windage losses of the motor.

23
4. Blocked rotor test in an induction motor is used to determine
(a) Leakage impedance (b) Copper loss
(c) Both 1 & 2 (d) None of the above
Ans: (c)
Explanation:

 In blocked rotor test, the induction motor is locked, so it can‟t be

moved therefore rotor will draw more current from supply
because of the load demand on it.

 Copper losses occur due to the current flowing in the rotor and
stator windings.

 Therefore blocked rotor test is used to determine copper losses and

leakage impedance.
24
5. Which of the following losses are negligible in blocked rotor
test?
(a) Mechanical losses (b) Iron losses
(c) Both 1 & 2 (d) None of the above
Ans: (c)
Explanation:

 Since the rotor is locked in blocked rotor test, therefore, the

mechanical loss is negligible.
 The voltage applied on the stator to perform blocked rotor test is
low since the high voltage can damage the stator winding, therefore,
it has negligible iron losses.

25
6. The rotor power output of a 3-phase induction motor is
30 KW and corresponding slip is 4%. The rotor copper loss
will be
(a) 625 Watt (b) 250 Watt
(c) 1000 Watt (d) 1250 Watt

Ans: (d)
Explanation:

 Rotor copper losses = rotor input- rotor output

and rotor output power = (1-s) rotor input power
 ∴ rotor Input power = output/(1 – s)= 30000 /(1 – 0.04) = 31250
Rotor copper losses = 31250 -30000 = 1250 watt

26
7. what is the ratio of rotor input power to rotor copper loss in an
induction motor?
(a) 1/(1 – S) (b) 1 – S (c) 1/S (d) S

Ans: (c)

Explanation:

 Rotor copper loss = S × Rotor input power

 ∴ Rotor input / Rotor copper loss = 1/S.

27
8. What happens if fifth harmonics is given to induction motor?
(a) Short-circuit the motor
(b) Motor will rotate in reverse direction
(c) Motor will rotate in the same direction
(d) None of the above

Ans: (b)

Explanation:

 The fifth harmonic is negative harmonic having the phase

displacement of 120 degrees having negative phase
sequence with the reference to the motor phase sequence.
 Hence induction motor will rotate in the reverse direction.

43. If an induction motor, if the air gap is increased
(a) speed will reduce
(b) Efficiency will improve GATE 1996
(c) Power factor will be lowered
(d) break down torque will reduce
Ans: (c)
Explanation:

 The magnetizing reactance Xm of the air gap is inversely related to air

gap length. As air gap increases, Xm decreases & so magnetizing
current drawn by the motor increases.

 Operating power factor is improved as the reactive component

decreases & stability also increases. The regulation of induction
generator will improve as the reactive part decreases & power factor
improves.

(a) If the number of stator slots are unequal to number of rotor slots
(b) If the number of stator slots are an integral multiple of rotor slots
(c) If the motor is running at fraction of its rated speed
(d) Due to 𝟓𝒕𝒉 harmonic

Ans: (b)

 Explanation:

 Cogging is a phenomenon in squirrel cage induction motors which

results from magnetic locking between stator core and rotor core
and prevents the motor from running.

 It happens if the stator number of slots are equal to rotor number

of slots or the ratio between the two is an integer.

motor running at 975 rpm is 40 kW. The stator losses are 1 kW
and friction and windage losses total 2 kW. What is the
efficiency of motor? IES/ESE 2009
(a) 92.5% (b) 92% (c) 90% (d) 88%
Ans: (c)
Explanation:
power i/p = 40 kw

said to be IES/ESE 2001
(a) Locking (b) plugging (c) Crawling (d) Cogging
Ans: (c)
Explanation:

 Induction motor runs nearer to synchronous speed but this is a

peculiar behaviour when the motor runs at a speed near to Ns/7
falling below the rated torque and unable to accelerate to its full
speed.
 This is called crawling. Crawling is due the presence of slot
harmonics mainly due to the dominant presence of 7th harmonic.

55. Crawling in an induction motor is due to
(a) time harmonics in supply IES/ESE 1999
(b) slip ring rotor
(c) space harmonics produced by winding currents
(d) insufficient starting torque

Ans: (c)
Explanation:

 There will be a maximum torque at a speed just below ( 1 / 7)Ns, and if

this is high enough, the net torque produced can be higher than the
torque due to the line frequency even though speed is ( 1 / 7)Ns.

 The slip all this while remaining high. This can cause the motor to crawl
at a speed just below (1 / 7) of synchronous speed. Thus crawling of IM is
due to space harmonics.

57. The phenomenon of crawling in a 3-phase cage induction
motor may be due to IES/ESE 1998
(a) unbalanced supply voltage
(b) 7th space harmonics of air-gap voltage
(c) 7th time harmonics of voltage wave
(d) 5th space harmonics

Ans: (b)
Explanation:
 squirrel cage induction motors exhibits a tendency to run at very
slow speeds (as low as one-seventh of their synchronous speed). This
phenomenon is called as crawling of an induction motor.

 This action is due to the fact that, flux wave produced by a stator
winding is not purely sine wave.

The corresponding slip is 4%. The rotor copper loss will be
(a) 600W (b) 625W (c) 650W (d) 700W

Ans: (b) IES/ESE 1997

Explanation:

 Rotor copper losses = rotor input- rotor output

and rotor output power = (1-s) rotor input power
 ∴ rotor Input power = output/(1 – s)= 15000 /(1 – 0.04) = 15625
Rotor copper losses = 15625-15000= 625 W

(a) number of stator teeth-number of rotor teeth =odd number
(b) number of stator teeth-number of rotor teeth =even number
(c) number of stator teeth-number of rotor teeth =0
(d) number of stator teeth-number of rotor teeth =negative number
Ans: (c) IES/ESE 1992
Explanation:

 Squirrel cage rotors are not designed for any number of poles on the rotor. As
the poles are automatically formed in equal number, due to low starting if the
rotor poles and stator poles are quite horizontal to each other or they are
even multiple to each other, a strong alignment force occurs. Due to this
locking tendency the rotor refuses to start which is called as cogging.

 Slip ring rotor design is quite complicated compared to squirrel cage with
respect to cogging effect. The number of poles on the rotor should not be
equal to stator poles. To achieve this rotor slots are always less than stator
slots. The rotor poles also should not be in integral multiples of stator slots.

1. An induction motor is, in general analogous to

(a) two winding transformer with secondary short circuited.
(b) two winding transformer with secondary open circuited.
(c) auto transformer.
(d) none of the above.
Ans: (a)
Explanation:

 The rotor consists of thick laminations, made up of silicon steel with

skewed slots which has less depth. Solid copper conductors are placed
which are short circuited at both ends using end rings made up of
copper.

 This gives a completely closed rotor circuit. Induction motor stator

winding is equivalent to primary of a transformer and its rotor winding
is equivalent to secondary of a transformer but it is short circuited with
a rotating mechanical equivalent of r2 / s.

2. The power factor of squirrel cage induction motor is
(a) low at light loads only (b) low at heavy loads only
(c) both A and B (d) low at rated load only
Ans: (a)

Explanation:

 The operating power factor on no load or light loads is very low, because
of magnetizing current.

 The losses on no load are only core losses which are negligible.

 Therefore magnetizing current is greater than core loss component

current and the no load power factor is very low around 0.2 lagging.

 As the load increases the core loss component current will increase and
the power factor will improve.
