HYSTERESIS

MOTOR

By: ARJAY B. LAMBOJON ECE5P

Hysteresis motor

It is a synchronous motor with a uniform air gap

and without DC excitation.
Utilizes the phenomenon of hysteresis to
produce mechanical torque.
May operate from 1 and 3 supply.
Rotor is made up of ferromagnetic material.
Starting behavior of a hysteresis motor is like a
single phase induction motor and running
behavior is same as a synchronous motor.
Construction of Hysteresis Motor

Hysteresis Motor consists of:

Stator
Rotor
Main windings
Auxiliary windings
Shaft
Construction of Hysteresis Motor
Stator: Stator carries two windings, (a) main winding
(b) auxiliary winding. In another type of design of
hysteresis motor the stator holds the poles of shaded
type.
Rotor: The rotor is smooth cylindrical type made up
of hard magnetic material like chrome steel for high
retentivity. This requires selecting a material with
high hysteresis loop area. The rotor does not carry
any winding or teeth. The rotor of hysteresis motor
has high resistance to reduce eddy current loss.
What is the Working Principle of Hysteresis
Motor?

When stator is energized with single

phase AC supply it produces a
rotating magnetic field.
This rotating magnetic field
magnetizes the metal of the rotor
and induces poles within it.
What is the Working Principle of Hysteresis
Motor?

*There are two sources of torques

when the motor is operating below its
synchronous speed.
Most of the torque is produced by
hysteresis.
When the magnetic field of the
stator sweeps around the surface of
the rotor, the rotor flux cannot follow
it exactly, because of large hysteresis
loss of the rotor material.
What is the Working Principle of Hysteresis
Motor?
*The greater the intrinsic hysteresis loss of the
rotor material, the greater the angle by which
the rotor magnetic field lags the stator magnetic
field.
Then a finite torque will be produce in the
motor since the rotor and stator magnetic
fields are at different angles.
In addition, the stator magnetic field will
produce eddy currents in the rotor, and these
eddy currents produce a magnetic field of
their own, further increasing the torque on the
rotor.
What is the Working Principle of Hysteresis
Motor?
*When the motor reaches synchronous speed:
The stator flux ceases to sweep across the rotor, and the
rotor acts like a permanent magnet.
The induced torque in the motor is then proportional to the
angle between the rotor and the stator magnetic field, up
to the maximum angle set by the hysteresis in the rotor.
Only hysteresis torque is present which keeps rotor running
at synchronous speed. The high retentivity ensures the
continuous magnetic locking between stator and rotor.
Torque-Speed Characteristics
Advantages

As no teeth and no winding in rotor, no

mechanical vibrations take place during its
operation.
Its operation is quiet and noiseless as there is no
vibration.
It is suitable to accelerate inertia loads.
Multi-speed operation can be achieved by
employing gear train.
Disadvantages

Hysteresis motor has poor output.

Low efficiency.
Low torque.
Low power factor
This type of motor is available in very small size
only.
