Experiment (3) Shaded Pole Induction Motor

Introduction

The shaded-pole induction motor can take several forms, but is most commonly a salient-pole induction
motor as in fig 2.1. A sample single-phase induction motor produces no starting torque. In order to
produce a starting torque, what is required is some element of rotation in the AC field produced by the
stator. This implies an additional field which is displaced both in space and in phase with respect to the
main field. In some forms of single-phase motor this is the function of the starting winding, or a
capacitor-fed winding.

In the shaded-pole motor the function is performed by the split in the pole, and the shading coil.
Induced current in the shaded coil cause the flux in the shaded part of the pole to lag the flux in the
other part. This provides the effect of rotation of flux from the unshaded to the shaded part of the pole,
generating a small starting torque.

1. Assembly

Construct the connections given in Fig 2.2 and Fig 2.3

2. Operation

Set power supply 2 for AC output at 70V. Switch on power supply 2 and observe the behavior of the
motor as it runs up to a speed which should be about 2850 rev/min. Correct the supply voltage, if
necessary, to 70V. The current will then be about 3A.

Slowly apply load. It will be found that the speed decrease quite rapidly with load, and that only 0.1 to
0.2 Nm of torque can be sustained before the motor stalls. This is much less than that available from a
normal induction motor of comparable size and distributed winding.
* Record the line current in each steps.
