Construction contd.
Rotor
• Made with magnetic material of
high hysteresis losses. i.e.
whose hysteresis loop area is
very large as shown in Fig.
• Rotor does not carry any
winding or teeth
Construction contd.
• Rotor invented by H. E. Warren shown in Fig.
used in Warren Telechron electric clock
• Rotor consists outer rings and crossbars made
of heat-treated hard steel that has a very large
hysteresis loop
• When a rotating filed moves past rotor,
hysteresis effect causes a torque to be
developed and motor starts to run
• As synchronous speed is approached, crossbars
presents a low reluctance path to flux thereby
setting up permanent pole in rotor and causing
motor to continue to rotate at synchronous
speed
• Telechron motor has a shaded-pole stator as
shown in Fig.

(c) Hysteresis loop of rotor
material
• When rotor is rotating in synchronous speed, stator revolving field flux produces
poles on rotor
• Due to hysteresis effect, rotor pole axis lags behind axis of rotating magnetic field
• Due to this, rotor poles get attracted towards moving stator poles
• Thus rotor gets subjected to torque called hysteresis torque this torque is
constant at all speeds

If the rotor is released, it will accelerate
to synchronous speed
Mathematical Analysis
• Initially, torque developed by the motor by virtue of eddy-
current loss and hysteresis loss
• Eddy-current loss can be given by:
Ke a constant, f2 frequency of eddy-current, B flux density
• Rotor frequency f2 related to stator supply frequency f in
terms of slip s
• Thus,
• Torque due to eddy current:
Mathematical Analysis contd.
• Corresponding torque: Th
Advantages
• As rotor has no teeth, no winding, there are no mechanical
vibrations
• Due to absence of vibrations, operation is quiet and
noiseless
• Suitability to accelerate inertia loads
• Possibility of multispeed operation by employing gear train
Advantages & disadvantages contd.
Disadvantages
• Output is about one-quarter that of an induction motor of
the same dimension
• Low efficiency
• Low power factor
• Low torque
• Available in very small sizes
