Introduction This workbook is part of the learning system for automation and technology from Festo Didactic GmbH & Co. KG. The system provides a solid basis for practice-oriented basic and further training. Training package TP 1410, “Servo brake and drive system”, deals with the following topics: • Basic principles of DC machines • Basic principles of AC machines • Basic principles of 3-phase machines The workbook entitled “Basic principles of alternating current machines” provides an introduction to the topic of electric machines with AC connection. We come into contact with AC drives every day, as these motors are commonly used in household appliances, and above all in handheld electrical tools. Knowledge regarding layout, connection and applications ranges is imparted. In doing so, the machines are exposed to a wide range of simulated load situations in order to ascertain their capabilities. Technical prerequisites for setting up the circuits include: • A laboratory workbench equipped with an A4 frame • Servo brake and drive system equipment set TP 1410 • 230 V AC mains outlet • Universal motor • Capacitor motor • Components for controlling the electric machines • Laboratory safety cables The circuits for all 6 exercises are set up using the TP 1410 equipment set and the AC drives. Data sheets for the individual components are also available (universal motor, capacitor motor etc.).

Exercise 1 Basic principles of the single-phase AC motor with squirrel-cage rotor (capacitor motor) Learning objectives After completing this exercise: • You will be familiar with the basic function of the capacitor motor. • You will be familiar with the connection plate on the motor with all of its designations • You will be familiar with the motor’s circuitry including main and auxiliary windings, as well as the starter and operating capacitors. • You will be familiar with terminal board wiring for clockwise and anti-clockwise motor operation. • You will be familiar with the measuring circuit for checking the specifications in the rating plate. • You will be familiar with checking the specifications in the rating plate by performing measurements while the motor is idling, and while running at nominal load.
Problem description 230 V single-phase alternating voltage (L1 and N) is the only option available for operating an air compressor. Due to the fact that high-inertia starting conditions can be expected with the compressor, a capacitor motor with starter and operating capacitors will be used as a drive. The motor needs to be tested for suitability in the training workshop. The examination results will need to be documented in a report.

1. Basic function of the capacitor motor a) Describe the layout of a capacitor motor. U1

M 1

Z1
Capacitor motor – basic arrangement of the two windings
Two windings are arranged at a 90° angle to each other within the stator’s laminated core. This is the main winding with the designations U1 and U2. It occupies two thirds of the stator slots. The auxiliary winding with the designations Z1 and Z2 is accommodated in the remaining slots. Depending on starting conditions, the single-phase motor is also equipped with starter and operating capacitors.
b) Describe the function of the capacitor motor. In order to achieve phase displacement between the two windings, resulting in a rotating field, a capacitor must be connected in series to the auxiliary winding. In the case of a single-phase motor with an operating capacitor, the auxiliary winding is continuously energised along with the series connected main winding. In the event of high-inertia starting conditions, a starter capacitor is connected in parallel to the operating capacitor. The starter capacitor is switched off by a centrifugal switch after the motor has been started up.
c)
Which function does the operating capacitor fulfil? Operating capacitor CB assures a smooth running motor and a better power factor. The capacitance of the operating capacitor should be dimensioned such that the auxiliary winding does not become impermissibly hot. The capacitance of the operating capacitor accommodates close to 1 kvar of reactive power per kilowatt of motor power.

Exercise 1 – Basic principles of the single-phase AC motor with squirrel-cage rotor (capacitor motor)
d) Which function does the starter capacitor fulfil? In order to increase the motor’s starting torque, the capacitor’s capacitance value must also be increased. The increase in capacitance is achieved by connecting starter capacitor CA in parallel. The starter capacitor is switched off by a centrifugal switch after the motor has been started up, assuring that the auxiliary winding does not become impermissibly hot.

Exercise 1 Basic principles of the single-phase AC motor with squirrel-cage rotor (capacitor motor) Learning objectives After completing this exercise: • You will be familiar with the basic function of the capacitor motor. • You will be familiar with the connection plate on the motor with all of its designations • You will be familiar with the motor’s circuitry including main and auxiliary windings, as well as the starter and operating capacitors. • You will be familiar with terminal board wiring for clockwise and anti-clockwise motor operation. • You will be familiar with the measuring circuit for checking the specifications in the rating plate. • You will be familiar with checking the specifications in the rating plate by performing measurements while the motor is idling, and while running at nominal load.
Problem description 230 V single-phase alternating voltage (L1 and N) is the only option available for operating an air compressor. Due to the fact that high-inertia starting conditions can be expected with the compressor, a capacitor motor with starter and operating capacitors will be used as a drive. The motor needs to be tested for suitability in the training workshop. The examination results will need to be documented in a report.

b) Set up the circuit. –
Use the 230 V capacitor motor (order no. 571872).
6. Checking the specifications in the rating plate by means of measurement and calculation a) The motor is connected to the motor test bench in order to perform measurement. The motor test bench is switched on but it is not connected to the PC. The motor is switched on.
b) Measurement is performed first of all during no-load operation. Enter the measured values to the “Noload” column in the table.
c)
For measurement at nominal load, the motor is loaded by the test bench up to nominal current (see rating plate), and the measurements are documented. Enter the measured values to the “Nominal load” column the table. No-load
