O Rural areas is powering huge loads from rural single
phase electric distribution system.
O Introduced by the Precise Power Corporation of
Bradenton, Florida, in the 1990¶s.
O The motor dramatically reduced starting current &
are able to drive heavier loads without disrupting
power quality.

O There are three modes of operation:-
1.Start Mode
2.Transition Mode
3.Run Mode

O Induction torque is produced in the machine by the
rotating magnetic field of the stator.
O Hysterisis torque is developed when stator current
slightly magnetize the ferrite material.
O The Hysterisis and Induction torque produced
accelerates the motor to rated speed.

O The excitation coil is turned on when the motor reaches
80% - 90% of rated speed.
O The powerful excitation coil starts writing poles to the
ferrite layer as the rotor rotates.
O Magnetic layer magnetized into any desired
configuration using exciter winding.
Figure 1 shows motor is in normal mode of operation.
As the excitation had not been turned on the motor is
running as an induction motor.
Figure 2 & 3 shows the poles are being written into
the magnetic layer in the anticlockwise direction as
the rotor rotates in the clockwise direction.
^


O The no: poles produced depends upon the frequency of

signal given to the exciter coil and also speed of the
motor.
O If the exciter has constant frequency o/p then :-
1.Lower speed of rotor results in larger no of poles
with shorter spans.
2.higher speed of rotor results in smaller no of poles
with longer spans.

O Magnetic interlocking of rotor poles and stator poles
takes place.
O The motor starts run at synchronous speed.
O It excessive torque is applied to the output shaft, causing
the motor to pull out of synchronization, it re-enters the
transition mode and attempts to re- accelerate the load
back to synchronous speed.

O Low starting current requirements.
O Energy efficient operation.
O Unity power factor operation.
O Low temperature rise.
O High inertia starting.
O Instantaneous restart capability.
O Ride through characteristics.

X The home appliance requires for a motor to be small,
X exciter with a very large magneto-motive force in the
small volume, which is driven by a general voltage
source.
X Its divided into:
a) MMF design
b) Pole shape design

X MMF = Current * coil turns
X Voltage equation is given by,
X If |

is the slot area occupied by  turns, then area of
a coil
X If 0

is the effective length of a coil side, then
resistance of exciter

X The exciter pole shape is designed with maximising the
magnetic intensity in magnet.
X Since the magnetic flux in pole should be concentrated
to increase the magnetic intensity, the width of pole
edge D is selected as variable.
X Magneto static analysis is carried out with  and
the field intensity according to variation in D
X The edge width corresponding to maximum intensity is
selected.

O WPM shows good value when applied to proper niches
O Technology shows promise where the characteristics
can be benefited for rural and industrial applications.
O For a low Hp WPM, the winding and pole shape of
exciter have to be optimally designed and analyzed.
