Classification of three-phase asynchronous motors The Y2 series of motors represents the latest design of basic three-phase asynchronous motor products in China during the mid-1990s. They are fully enclosed, self-cooled cage-type motors, and consist of two product lines: the basic design series (Y2 series) and the efficiency-improved design series (Y2E series). The technical performance parameters of these motors match those of similar foreign products from the 1990s; they serve as upgraded versions to replace the Y series. Since the late 1990s, China has begun the transition from the Y series to the Y2 series.   The Y2 series motors feature an F-class insulation rating, but their temperature rise is still evaluated according to the B-class insulation standard (except for those with frames of specifications 315 and 355); therefore, these motors have a large margin for temperature rise. The protection rating has been increased to IP54; the frame is equipped with cooling fins arranged in a parallel and vertical pattern, and the junction box is placed above the motor frame to facilitate wiring. The Y2 series motors feature improved electromagnetic and structural designs based on the Y series motors, which reduces noise and vibration, saves materials, and results in a more rational motor structure with a novel and attractive appearance. The correspondence between power ratings and installation dimensions for Y2 series motors (except for a few models with extended frames and specifications) is exactly the same as that for Y series motors, which facilitates the gradual replacement of Y series motors by Y2 series motors. The Y2E series of motors is a range of products designed to improve motor efficiency; their full-load efficiency is 1.79% higher than that of the Y2 series. They are mainly suitable for various mechanical devices that operate for long periods of time under high load conditions.   YR series wound-rotor three-phase asynchronous motors: The YR series (IP44), (IP23) motors are derived from the basic Y series (IP44), (IP23). The YR series motors feature wound-rotor windings, which are usually double-layer short-pitch stacked windings. They are connected in a Y configuration and are linked to external starting (speed-regulating) resistors through slip rings and brush assemblies. By adjusting the value of these external resistors, it is possible to achieve high starting torque and low starting current, while also enabling the regulation of the motor’s speed within a certain range.   The power ratings and installation dimensions of the YR series motors are the same as those of the Y basic series motors. However, the relationship between the power ratings and the frame size for the YR series differs from that of the Y basic series; generally, it is 1–2 levels lower than in the Y basic series. The YR series motors are mainly used in conveying machinery, winching machinery, compressors, sugar presses, printing machines, etc.   YR series medium-high voltage three-phase asynchronous motors. These motors were designed and manufactured in the 1980s to replace the JS and JR series. The rated voltages for the medium-high voltage motors in the Y and YR series are 3 KV and another value. The Y series features a squirrel-cage rotor, while the YR series has a wound-rotor design; the stators of both series are interchangeable, and their basic protection rating is IP23. The performance of motors in this series meets IEC standards, and they feature advantages such as high efficiency, energy savings, low noise, minimal vibration, and light weight.   YD series variable-pole multi-speed three-phase asynchronous motors: The YD series of motors is derived from the Y basic series (IP). Apart from differences in the design and wiring of the stator windings, the main components of these motors are identical to those of the Y series (IP44). They are designed to replace the JDO2 series of products. It is 15% smaller in size and 12% lighter than similar JDO2 products. The YD series motors are available in two-speed, three-speed, and four-speed versions, with pole ratios (speed ratios) including 4/2, 6/4, 8/6, 12/6, 6/4/2, 8/4/2, and 12/8/6/4. The two-speed motor uses a single winding with 6 leads ; Three-speed and four-speed motors use dual windings, with 9 and 12 leads respectively.   The installation dimensions, insulation class, protection class, cooling method, etc. of the YD series motors are the same as those of the Y series (IP44).   For various transmission mechanisms that require step-by-step speed changes or those that need a simplified speed control system, the YD series motors are a preferred choice.   YZR and YZ series of three-phase asynchronous motors for metallurgical lifting purposes. The YZR and YZ series of motors are upgraded versions of the JZR2 and JZ2 series of motors. Among them, YZR refers to a wound-rotor type, while YZ refers to a cage-type rotor. For use in general environments (with an ambient temperature not exceeding 40°C), it has a protection rating of IP44, an insulation class of F, and a temperature rise of 95°C. It is designed for use in high-temperature environments (with an ambient temperature not exceeding 60°C); its protection rating is IP54, the insulation class is H, and the temperature rise limit is 100°C.   The operating modes of YZR and YZ series motors are divided into: short-time operation mode (S2) ; Intermittent periodic working system (S3) ; The intermittent periodic operation mode for starting and the intermittent periodic operation mode for electric braking (S3). The standard operation mode for the motor is (S3)-40%.   YZR and YZ series motors feature high starting torque and overload capacity, as well as good mechanical strength; therefore, they are particularly suitable for equipment that operates in short-term or intermittent cycles, experiences frequent starting and stopping, is subject to occasional overloads, and is exposed to significant vibrations and shocks.   YLJ series torque three-phase asynchronous motors: The operating principle of the YLJ series torque three-phase asynchronous motors is exactly the same as that of ordinary cage-type three-phase asynchronous motors, and their structures are also largely similar. The main difference lies in the fact that the rotor bars and end rings of these torque motors are made from materials with higher electrical resistivity (such as brass), which results in a much higher rotor resistance compared to that of ordinary cage-type asynchronous motors. As a result, the mechanical characteristic curve of these torque motors is more gentle, they have a higher stall (starting) torque, good linearity, and a wide speed regulation range.   Due to the soft mechanical characteristics of torque asynchronous motors, which exhibit the maximum output torque during stall or reverse rotation, and whose speed can decrease significantly as the load torque increases while they increase their output torque to maintain stable operation, torque asynchronous motors are primarily used in metal processing industries, as well as in sectors such as textiles, papermaking, printing and dyeing, rubber, plastics, and wire and cable manufacturing, to power equipment for unwinding, winding, stopping, and speed control. It can also be used in devices that require frequent forward and reverse rotation, as well as in various other applications involving compression, clamping, rolling, pulling, screw rotation, and other situations where speed and torque vary significantly.   When a torque motor is in a locked-rotor condition, the locked-rotor current is relatively low while the locked-rotor torque is high; therefore, it can meet the requirements of being in a locked-rotor state for either a short period or over an extended time. The torque motor’s rated value is determined by the torque it generates under locked-rotor conditions, and this value is used to indicate its capacity. Since torque motors experience high losses during stall conditions and at low speeds, causing significant heating, they generally have an open-type structure (although some small-capacity torque motors use a closed-type structure). The rotor is equipped with axial ventilation holes, and an external blower is used to provide forced air cooling.   When operating, torque motors require different torques and speeds depending on the load they drive (such as winding machinery), with variations in material specifications or composition. Therefore, it is necessary for torque motors to be able to adjust their output torque and speed over a wide range. Since the output torque of a torque motor is proportional to the square of the applied voltage, different output characteristics are achieved by adjusting the voltage applied to the motor. It can usually be controlled using a three-phase voltage regulator. Currently, thyristor speed negative feedback control circuits are also used for stepless speed regulation, and they can improve the stiffness of the mechanical properties of torque motors.   YCT series electromagnetic speed-regulated three-phase asynchronous motors: The YCT series electromagnetic speed-regulated three-phase asynchronous motors consist of Y series (IP44) three-phase asynchronous motors, electromagnetic slip clutches (eddy current clutches), tachogenerators, and speed control units. This speed control controller is an AC speed control device equipped with a speed negative feedback system, enabling stepless speed regulation over a relatively wide range.   The driving power is supplied by a three-phase asynchronous motor; after speed regulation via an electromagnetic slip clutch (and speed control controller), the power is delivered through the output shaft to drive the machinery that requires speed control.   When a three-phase asynchronous motor rotates, the cylindrical armature sleeve coaxial with the motor rotates at the same speed. It is the input element for electromagnetic power. When direct current is applied to the pole windings of the electromagnetic clutch for excitation, a closed magnetic circuit is formed within the magnetic core, yoke, toothed poles, and armature. Due to the claw-shaped structure of the poles, an alternating magnetic field is generated in the working air gap. The rotating armature cuts through this magnetic field, generating an induced electromotive force and thus an induced current (eddy current). The torque produced by this current balances the driving torque of the three-phase asynchronous motor (which is the load torque), while the counter-torque acts on the poles, causing them to rotate in the same direction as the armature; these poles in turn drive the output shaft to rotate as well. Thus, the energy supplied to the three-phase asynchronous motor is transmitted to the driven machinery through the electromagnetic interaction between the armature and the poles; by smoothly adjusting the excitation current in the electromagnetic slip clutch, its output speed can be controlled.   The YCT series of electromagnetic speed-regulated three-phase asynchronous motors is the basic series of electromagnetic speed-regulated motors. Its power rating, installation dimensions, and other specifications comply with the International Electrotechnical Commission standards. Compared with the JZT series it replaces, the YCT series features higher output torque and a higher maximum operating speed; moreover, its overall efficiency is increased by 3% to 8%. It is an AC variable-speed motor with excellent constant-torque load characteristics, suitable for applications requiring constant-torque (or gradually decreasing torque) variable speed control in industries such as machinery, chemicals, petroleum, construction materials, light industry, and textiles. It is particularly appropriate for use in equipment such as fans and water pumps, offering good energy-saving effects.   JZS2 series three-phase commutator asynchronous motors. Three-phase commutator asynchronous motors, also known as three-phase rotor motors, are AC speed-regulated motors that provide constant torque output. They feature a wide speed regulation range (typically 3:1, though it can also be 20:1 or higher), good starting performance, a high power factor, and the ability to achieve smooth, continuous, stepless speed regulation. For these reasons, they are widely used in industries such as textiles, printing and dyeing, printing, papermaking, rubber, plastics, cement, and other applications where continuous speed regulation is required.   Two sets of windings are embedded in the rotor slots of a three-phase commutator asynchronous motor. It consists of a main winding that is placed at the bottom of the slot; this winding can be connected in star or delta configuration as needed, and it is connected to a three-phase AC power supply through slip rings. Another set consists of adjustment windings connected to the commutator segments, which are embedded above the main windings.   A set of auxiliary windings (stator windings) is embedded in the stator slots of the motor; these are multi-phase, double-layer, short-pitch windings. They are usually three-phase, but can also be multi-phase as well. The beginning and end points of each stator winding are connected to the two sets of brush leads on the commutator.   When three-phase alternating current is applied to the rotor’s main windings, a rotating magnetic field is generated. This rotating magnetic field cuts through the rotor’s control windings and the stator windings, thereby inducing induced electromotive forces EK and E2 respectively. Since the rotor adjustment winding and the stator winding are connected to each other through commutator segments and brushes, a current I2 is generated in the stator winding. This current interacts with the rotating magnetic field to produce an electromagnetic torque that causes the motor rotor to rotate.   With the help of the brush shifting mechanism, the relative position between the two sets of brushes connected to the beginning and end of each phase’s stator winding can be adjusted, in order to increase or decrease the value of the induced electromotive force EK in the stator winding. This allows for the regulation of the speed and power factor.   The main features of the JZS2 series of three-phase commutator asynchronous motors include a wide speed control range; the typical speed ratios are 3:1, 6:1, 10:1, etc., and they can also operate at speeds higher than the synchronous speed. It has a low starting current; within a speed regulation range of 3:1, the starting current is less than 3 times the rated current, while the starting torque is approximately 1.3 to 1.5 times the rated torque. Its main drawback is its relatively complex structure and difficulty in maintenance, which limits its widespread use.   YTP series variable-frequency speed control three-phase asynchronous motors: As can be seen from the speed formula for asynchronous motors, n=60f1/p(1-s), the speed n of an asynchronous motor is proportional to the frequency f1 of the alternating current supply. Therefore, if the frequency of the alternating current supply can be changed continuously, the speed of the motor can be adjusted smoothly and continuously, which is the theoretical basis for variable-frequency speed control of asynchronous motors. However, before the 1980s, the application of frequency conversion technology was limited by factors such as the constraints associated with the manufacturing of high-power power electronic devices, as well as their cost and operational reliability. By the 1990s, thanks to the rapid development of high-power power electronics devices and frequency conversion technology, the use of frequency conversion for speed control of asynchronous motors became increasingly mature. This technology was quickly adopted on a wide scale in various fields, such as machinery processing, metallurgy, chemicals, papermaking, textiles, and light industry. In these applications, the frequency conversion speed control technique for asynchronous motors has achieved significant results in terms of increasing the quantity and quality of products produced and saving electrical energy. It has thus become an important means for upgrading traditional equipment and achieving mechatronics.   There are generally two common frequency conversion speed control methods for asynchronous motors, namely constant torque frequency conversion speed control and constant power frequency conversion speed control.   (1) Constant torque variable frequency speed control. Simply adjusting the frequency of the AC power supply can achieve the purpose of controlling the motor speed, but it will degrade the motor’s operating performance. This is because, according to the motor balance equation U1≈E1=4.44K1N1f1φm, if the supply voltage U1 remains constant, then as the frequency f1 decreases, the main flux φm increases. This leads to excessive saturation of the motor’s magnetic circuit, resulting in an increase in excitation current, greater core losses, and a decrease in the power factor ; Conversely, if the frequency f1 increases, φm will decrease, causing the motor’s output torque to drop and preventing the motor’s capacity from being fully utilized. In motor theory, we know that the output torque T2 of an asynchronous motor is proportional to U21/F21. Therefore, during variable-frequency speed control of asynchronous motors, if U1/f1 is kept constant – that is, if the supply voltage is adjusted in proportion to the frequency – the output torque of the motor can remain unchanged before and after speed adjustment. Constant-torque speed control is currently the most widely used method for variable-frequency speed control.   (2) Constant power variable frequency speed control. The output power P2 of the asynchronous motor is proportional to U21/F21. Therefore, during the speed regulation process, if U21/f1 can be kept constant, the output power of the asynchronous motor remains unchanged before and after speed regulation, which is known as constant-power speed regulation. Some transportation machinery, such as electric locomotives, urban rail transit vehicles, and trams, aims to achieve constant-power speed control – that is, at low motor speeds, a high torque is generated to produce sufficient traction for the locomotive or vehicle to accelerate; while at high motor speeds, the output torque can be lower (only enough to overcome the resistance during operation).   The frequency conversion speed control device for asynchronous motors consists of two main parts: the frequency conversion speed control mechanism and the asynchronous motor.   The TYP series of variable-frequency speed control three-phase asynchronous motors are specifically designed for variable-frequency speed control. All of its performance parameters meet the **standards; its power, center height are consistent with those of the Y-series (IP44) three-phase asynchronous motors, and its installation dimensions are the same as well, ensuring good interchangeability.   The technical specifications for the YTP series frequency converters used to control three-phase asynchronous motors are as follows: rated voltage of 380V, rated frequency of 50HZ. The motor protection rating is IP44 or IP23. For motors with a nominal power of 3KW or less, a Y connection is used; for other models, a Δ connection is employed. The starting torque is greater than 1.2 times the rated torque. The frequency regulation range is from 5 to 50HZ (constant torque speed control) and from greater than 50 to 100HZ (constant power speed control). What type of motor is the YB series, do you say?

The so-called “asynchronous motor” is naturally an induction motor, and the “squirrel-cage type” should be distinguished from the “wound-type”. “\"Brushed\" or \"brushless\" applies only to synchronous or DC motors; this concept does not exist for asynchronous motors. Support for floor 4 – clearly stated. Those on the first floor should know some basic concepts of motors.
