Chapter 13 AC Motors
AC motors:
1. the armature of rotor is a magnet (different to DC motors). 2. the stator is formed by electromagnets (like in DC motors).

Practical AC Motor
By adding another pair of electromagnets the limitation mentioned before is removed. Two electromagnets = Vertical & Horizontal Two phases with phase difference = 90 deg.

Synchronous Speed
AC motors always rotate with the speed of their revolving magnetic field. The speed of the revolving poles is the maximum possible speed of rotation of the motor. It is called Synchronous Speed.

Slip
Slip is associated with synchronous speed. If the motor turned at the same RPM as the magnetic field, there would be no relative motion between the rotor and the field. Therefore, no current would be induced into the rotor, and no magnetic field would exist.
Rotor speed < synchronous speed Slip = synchronous speed rotor speed % slip = ( Ns Nr / Ns ) 100
