Single Phase Transformer
Principle of operation
The transformer works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. In
this case, the conductors are stationary and the magnetic flux is varying
with respect to time. Thus, the induced emf comes under the
classification of statically induced emf.
The transformer is a static piece of apparatus used to transfer electrical
energy
from one circuit to another. The two circuits are magnetically coupled.
One of the circuits is energized by connecting it to a supply at specific
voltage magnitude, frequency and waveform. Then, we have a mutually
induced voltage available across the second circuit at the same
frequency and waveform but with a change in voltage magnitude if
desired. These aspects are indicated in Fig.

Construction
The following are the essential requirements of a transformer:
(a) A good magnetic core
(b) Two windings
(c) A time varying magnetic flux
The transformer core is generally laminated and is made out of a good
magnetic material such as transformer steel or silicon steel. Such a material
has high relative permeability and low hysteresis loss. In order to reduce the
eddy current loss, the core is made up of laminations of iron. ie, the core is
made up of thin sheets of steel, each lamination being insulated from others

How Does A Brushless DC Motor Work?
BLDC Motor operation is based on the attraction or repulsion between magnetic
poles. Using the three-phase motor as shown in figure below, the process starts when
current flows through one of the three stator windings and generates a magnetic pole
that attracts the closest permanent magnet of opposite pole.
The rotor will move if the current shifts to an adjacent winding. Sequentially
charging each winding will cause the rotor to follow in a rotating field. The torque in this
example depends on the current amplitude and the number of turns on the stator
windings, the strength and the size of the permanent magnets, the air gap between the
rotor and the windings, and the length of the rotating arm.

Stepper Motor

Why Stepper Motor?
• Motor that moves one step at a time
A digital version of an electric motor
Each step is defined by a Step Angle
• Relatively inexpensive
• Ideal for open loop positioning control − Can be implemented
without feedback − Minimizes sensing devices − Just count the
steps
• Torque − Holds its position firmly when not turning − Eliminates
mechanical brakes − Produces better torque than DC motors at
lower speeds
• Positioning applications

Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor
• It consists of a wound stator and a soft iron multi-tooth rotor.
• The stator has a stack of silicon steel laminations on which stator windings
are wound.
• Usually, it is wound for three phases which are distributed between the pole
pairs.
• The rotor carries no windings and is of salient pole type made entirely of
slotted steel laminations.
• The rotor pole’s projected teeth have the same width as that of stator teeth.
• The number of poles on stator differs to that of rotor poles, which provides
the ability to self start and bidirectional rotation of the motor.

4. Micro stepping operation mode

Working of Variable Reluctance Stepper Motor
• The stepper motor works on the principle that the rotor aligns in a
particular position with the teeth of the excitation pole in a
magnetic circuit wherein minimum reluctance path exist.
• Whenever power is applied to the motor and by exciting a
particular winding, it produces its magnetic field and develops its
own magnetic poles.
• Due to the residual magnetism in the rotor magnet poles, it will
cause the rotor to move in such a position so as to achieve
minimum reluctance position and hence one set of poles of rotor
aligns with the energized set of poles of the stator.
• At this position, the axis of the stator magnetic field matches with
the axis passing through any two magnetic poles of the rotor.

• When the rotor aligns with stator poles, it has enough magnetic force to
hold the shaft from moving to the next position, either in clockwise or
counter clockwise direction.

Servo Motor
❑ Servo is an electromagnetic device uses a negative feedback mechanism
to converts an electric signal into controlled motion. Basically, servos
behave like as actuators which provide precise control over velocity,
acceleration, and linear or angular position.
❑ It consists of four things: DC motor, position sensor, gear train, and a
control circuit. The gear mechanism connected with the motor provides
the feedback to the position sensor.
❑ If the motor of the servo is operated by DC then it is called a DC servo
motor and if it is operated by AC then it is called as AC servo motor. The
gear of the servo motor is generally made up of plastic but in high power
servos, it is made up of metal.
34
Types of Servo Motors on the Basis of Rotation
Positional Rotation Servos: Positional servos can rotate the shaft in about
half of the circle. Also, it has the feature to protect the rotational sensor
from over-rotating. Positional servos are mainly used in limbs, robotic arms,
and in many other places.
Continuous Rotation Servos: Continuous servos are similar in construction
to the positional servo. But, it can move in both clockwise and anticlockwise
directions. These types of servos are used in radar systems and robots.
Linear Servos: Again linear servos are also like a positional servo, but with
additional gears to the adjust the output from circular to back-and-forth.
These type of servos are used in high model airplanes and are rare to find on
the stores.
35
On the Basis of Operating Signal
(i) Analog Servomotors: Analog servos are operated over PWM (Pulse Width
Modulation) signals.
(ii) Digital Servomotors: Digital Servo receives signal and acts at high-frequency
voltage pulses. Digital servo gives a smooth response and consistent torque, due to
faster pulse. Digital servos consume more power than an analog servo.

Closed loop system - Servo Motor:
38
Stator Winding: This type of winding wound on the stationary part of the
motor. It is also known as field winding of the motor.
Rotor Winding: This type of winding wound on the rotating part of the motor.
It is also known as an armature winding of the motor.
Bearing: These are of two types, i.e, font bearing and back bearing which are
used for the movement of the shaft.
Shaft: The armature winding is coupled on the iron rod is known as the shaft
of the motor.
Encoder: It has the approximate sensor which determines the rotational
speed of motor and revolution per minute of the motor.
39
Working of Servo Motors
❑ The servo has a position sensor, a DC motor, a gear system, a control circuit.
The DC motor run at high speed and low torque when getting power from a
battery. The position of shaft senses by position sensor from its definite
position and supply information to the control circuit.
❑The reduction gearbox is connected to a shaft which decreases the RPM of the
motor. The output shaft of the reduction gearbox is the same as of motor
which is connected with encoder or potentiometer.
❑The output of the encoder is then connected to the control circuit. The wires of
the servomotor are also connected to the control circuit.
❑The motor control through microcontroller by sending signals in the form of
PWM which decodes the control circuit to rotate the motor in required angle
the control circuit moves the motor in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction,
with this the shaft also rotates in the desired direction.
40
Applications of Servo Motors
❑ They are used to control the positioning and movement of elevators in
radio controlled airplanes.
❑ They play an important role in robotics information of robot because of
their smooth switching on or off and accurate positioning.
❑ They are used in hydraulic systems to maintain hydraulic fluid in the
aerospace industry.
❑In radio controlled toys these are also used.
❑They are used to extend or replay the disc trays in electronic devices such as
DVDs or Blue-ray Disc players.
❑They are used to maintain the speed of vehicles in the automobile
industries.
