CONCLUSION As a conclusion, the three-phase squirrel-cage motor is the simplest and most reliable electric motor made. It has a powerful starting torque, and good efficiency, and would probably replace all other types were it not for some reasons which are essentially a constant speed motor, it draws a lagging current, and it is not built single-phase. The stationary windings are connected either in Delta or Y, as may suit the individual design, and are so arranged as to produce a rotating field in the space occupied by the rotor. The rotor is a shaft upon which is built up a laminated steel core carrying embedded in its surface copper or aluminium bars which are parallel to the shaft. The inductive action of the field on this

"cage" sets up in the latter induced currents whose magnetic field reacts against the rotating field set up by the stator winding, producing a torque. If the rotor were turning in synchronism with the rotating field there would be no induction and no rotor currents. Therefore it is seen that the rotor cannot possibly operate it at full synchronous speed, even though idling. The difference in speeds is expressed by slip, i.e., difference in speeds divided by synchronous speed, and a certain amount of slip is necessary to secure inductive action. As mentioned before, this varies from 2-5% of synchronous speed. A squirrel-cage motor with rotor blocked acts like a transformer with short-circuited secondary, thus explaining the high starting torque.

At the end of this experiment, we have fully understood the concept of the threephase induction motor with squirrel cage rotor reactive power compensation. We managed to successfully determine the current and the power factor as functions of load I, cos = f (M) for non-compensated and compensated motor. We also have examined its performance characteristics. Therefore, the objectives of this experiment have successfully achieved.

CONCLUSION As a conclusion, in a series motor the electric power is supplied between one end of the series field windings and one end of the armature. When voltage is applied, current flows from power supply terminals through the series winding and armature winding. The large

conductors present in the armature and field windings provide the only resistance to the flow of this current. Since these conductors are so large, their resistance is very low. This causes the motor to draw a large amount of current from the power supply. When the large current begins to flow through the field and armature windings, the coils reach saturation that result in the production of strongest magnetic field possible. The strength of these magnetic fields provides the armature shafts with the greatest amount of torque possible. The large torque causes the armature to begin to spin with the maximum amount of power and the armature starts to rotate. Common uses of the series motor include crane hoists, where large heavy loads will be raised and lowered and bridge and trolley drives on large overhead cranes. The series motor provides the starting torque required for moving large loads. Traction motors used to drive trains are series motors that provide the required torque and horsepower to get massive amounts of weight moving At the end of this experiment, we have fully understood the concept of the DC series wound motor (speed control). We managed to successfully know how to control the speed of a direct-current series wound motor even better. Moreover, we know how to analyze the behavior of the speed, armature voltage and armature current when the load increasing. Therefore, the objectives of this experiment have successfully achieved.
