Hysteresis Motor

Construction
Continuously revolving magnetic field is required
Stator

Split phase hysteresis motor
 Shaded pole hysteresis motor
Rotor
 No winding

Smooth cylinder of hard magnetic materials with very
large hysteresis loop (chrome ,cobalt steel)
-high resistivity to reduce eddy current loss
Construction..
 Operation
B lags inducing magnetizing force H.
δ – hysteresis angle

Depends on the nature of material and hysteresis loop
- not on rotor speed

constant from standstill to Ns.
Th α stator mmf * rotor mmf * sin δ
Rotor to accelerate Th>TL
At Slip s,

Ph = sPh0 ;Ph=Hyst. loss

 Th= (Ph/s)*(1/ωs) =Ph0/ ωs

 Th- independent of slip and speed
 Advantages

Constant torque
 it can synchronize any load inertia coupled to
its shaft which it can accelerate

Smooth rotor

quite operation
 No magnetic and mechanical vibration
 Limitations

the output is about one-quarter that of an

induction motor of the same dimension
Low Efficiency
Low Power factor
low torque and available in very small
sizes
 Applications
Constant speed applications
 Electric clock (gear train used)
Air conditioner
Sound recording and sound producing
instruments

Tape recorders
 Record players
