Chapter 43, Problem 1RQ
What are the disadvantages of low-speed, directly coupled induction motors?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The disadvantages of low-speed, directly coupled induction motor.
Explanation of Solution
The directly coupled induction motors are rarely used in the applications where the required speed is below 500rpm. The induction motor take very less current from the supply main.
The vector sum of load current and magnetizing current lags voltage by around 75-80 degrees and hence, the power factor is low. Due to high magnetizing current, the copper losses of the motor increase. This in turn leads to decrease in the efficiency of the motor.
Thus Disadvantage of low-speed, directly coupled induction motors are low power factor and low efficiency.

Forced Induction – For combustion engines, two main types of forced induction (or pressure
charging) are used: Supercharging and Turbocharging. Both methods compress the inlet charge
substantially above atmospheric pressure before the point of ignition. The compressed charge
will become more dense which will create an increase in power and torque from a similar sized
naturally aspirated engine.
It is worth noting that on high speed vehicles (Formula One) a ram-air effect forced induction can
be achieved using intake tube(s) directed into the on-coming air. This can be seen on race cars
where the intake is above the drivers head for unrestricted flow or on racing motorbikes where
the intake is positioned in the front fairing.
Draw a schematic diagram of a supercharged engine and a turbocharged engine layout:
