INGCO S-ID-R-ID6003 Rotor

The INGCO S-ID-R-ID6003 Rotor is a type of wound rotor induction motor, also known as a slip ring induction motor. Let’s delve into its features and how it differs from the more common squirrel cage induction motor:

1. Rotor Construction:
   • Wound Rotor Motor: The rotor of this motor is wound with three-phase insulated windings. These windings are connected to slip rings via brushes. The slip rings allow for external resistance to be added to the rotor circuit.
   • Squirrel Cage Motor: In contrast, the squirrel cage motor has a simple rotor design consisting of cylindrical laminated cores with parallel slots. Each slot contains a single conducting bar.
2. Starting Torque:
   • Wound Rotor Motor: It is specifically designed to provide high starting torque. By adjusting the external resistance in the rotor circuit during startup, the motor achieves this torque.
   • Squirrel Cage Motor: While squirrel cage motors are efficient and reliable, their starting torque is generally lower compared to wound rotor motors.
3. Speed Control:
   • Wound Rotor Motor: The speed of a wound rotor motor can be controlled by varying the resistance in the rotor circuit. This method is applicable only to slip ring induction motors.
   • Squirrel Cage Motor: Squirrel cage motors have fixed speed characteristics and do not offer direct speed control.
4. Asynchronous Operation:
   • Wound Rotor Motor: It operates at speeds different from the synchronous speed of the rotor, making it an asynchronous motor.
   • Squirrel Cage Motor: Squirrel cage motors also operate asynchronously.
5. Starting Procedure:
   • Wound Rotor Motor: During startup, the motor is connected to full line voltage across the stator terminals. The variable resistance in the rotor circuit (via the star-connected rheostat) gradually reduces as the motor gains speed.
   • Squirrel Cage Motor: Squirrel cage motors start directly with full line voltage applied to the stator.
6. Applications:
   • Wound Rotor Motor: Used where high starting torque is required, such as in coal handling power plants.
   • Squirrel Cage Motor: Widely used in various industrial applications due to their simplicity and reliability.

In summary, the S-ID-R-ID6003 Rotor, as a wound rotor induction motor, offers enhanced starting performance and flexibility in speed control compared to squirrel cage motors.
