6. Figure 16.2 Power flows left to right from a three-phase electrical source into an induction motor and then to a mechanical load. Some of the power is lost along the way due to various causes.

7. Figure 16.3 The torque–speed characteristics of an induction motor and a load consisting of a pump. In steady state, the system operates at the point for which the torque produced by the motor equals the torque required by the load.

8. Figure 16.4 This system will not start from a standstill because the motor cannot supply the starting torque demanded by the load.

12. Characteristics of Series (Universal) Motors+ power/weight ratio (hand tools)+ good starting torque+ power approx. constant over range of operation (slows down under load)+ good for loads with wide range of torque+ can operate at high speed- Brushes and commutators wear out- Poor speed control- If unloaded, may reach dangerously high speeds

18. How to Select an Induction Motor1. It’s got to do the job you need.2. Efficiency should be high.3. Starting torque should be high.4. Pull-out torque should be high.5. Power factor should be high.6. Starting current should be low.7. Maintenance should be low.8. Price should be low (but this is the LEAST important factor).

20. How to Start a Three-phase Synchronous MotorSynchronous motors have zero starting torque, so they need some way to get them moving. Here are three methods:1. Use a cycloconverter. This is a device that drives the motor at very low frequency (sub 1 Hz). Gradually increase the frequency to 60 Hz.2. Use another motor to drive it up to speed.3. Start the motor like an induction motor. When it gets up to speed, switch the rotor to DC for synchronous operation, and then connect the load.
