    The document describes a laboratory experiment on speed control of a three-phase slip ring induction motor through rotor resistance control. The objective is to control motor speed below rated speed by increasing rotor resistance. Materials used include an induction motor, ammeter, voltmeter, rheostat and tachometer. By varying the external rotor resistance and measuring motor speed, a speed versus resistance curve can be drawn, showing that speed reduces as rotor resistance increases due to an increase in slip.

    Objective;
    • Speed control of three-phase slip ring induction motor by rotor resistance control.

    Materials:
    • Induction Motor, Ammeter, Voltmeter, Rheostat, Tachometer

    ,
    Theory:
    Slip ring induction motors are usually started by connecting starting resistance in the secondary
    circuit, which are shorted out as the motor speed up. If the ohmic values of these resistances are
    properly chosen and if the resistors are designed for continuous operation, they can serve dual
    purpose i.e. starting and speed control. This method of speed control has characteristics similar to
    those of dc motor speed control by means of resistance in series with armature.
    Torque developed by an induction motor is given by,

    When the speed is very near to synchronous speed Ns i.e. when slip is very low the value of the
    term s2 X 2 2 is very small and can be neglected as compared to R2 2 and torque developed become
    𝑠
    proportional to . So, it is obvious that for a given torque, slip s can be increased or speeds can
    𝑅2
    be reduced by increasing the rotor resistance. In this method speed can be control only below the
    rated speed. If step of external resistance is larger speed control is smoother. In this method
    efficiency is largely reduced at low speed. The curve of speed vs. resistance is shown in Fig below.

    Procedure:
    1) Connect the circuit as shown in below Fig 2.

    Fig. 2 circuit diagram for slip ring induction for rotor resistance control.
    2) Switch ON the power supply.
    3) With the help of external rotor resistance starts the induction motor.
    4) Vary the rotor resistance and note down the various speed.
    5) Switch OFF the power supply and disconnect the motor.
    6) Measure the external rotor resistance in each step by multimeter.
    7) Draw the speed vs. rotor resistance curve.
