Motor Characteristics
The Slip Ring motor has two distinctly separate parts, the stator and the rotor. The stator circuit is rated as with a
standard squirrel cage motor and the rotor is rated in frame voltage and short circuit current.
The frame voltage is the open circuit voltage when the rotor is not rotating and gives a measure of the turns ratio
between the rotor and the stator. The short circuit current is the current flowing when the motor is operating at full
speed with the slip rings (rotor) shorted and full load is applied to the motor shaft.
--
To select the values of the resistors, you need to know the frame voltage and the short circuit current. The maximum
torque occurs approximately at the point where the rotor reactance equals the termination resistance.
The final stage of the resistance should always be designed for a maximum torque close to full speed to prevent a
very large step in current when shorting the final stage of resistance. If a single stage was used and the maximum
torque occured at 50% speed, then motor may accelerate to 60% speed, depending on the load.
If the rotor was shorted at this speed, the motor would draw a very high current (typically around 1400% FLC) and
produce very little torque, and would most probably stall!
