Double Field Revolving Theory

The double field revolving theory resolves any alternating quantity into two rotating components that rotate in opposite directions at half the maximum magnitude. These components are the forward and backward rotating stator flux components. At any instant, the resultant of these two components gives the instantaneous stator flux value. At start, the two components are opposite and cancel out, resulting in zero net torque and preventing self-starting.

Double Field Revolving Theory

According to this theory, any alternating quantity can be resolved


into two rotating components which rotate in opposite directions
and each having magnitude as half of the maximum magnitude of
the alternating quantity.

According to double revolving field theory, consider the two


components of the stator flux, each having magnitude half of
maximum magnitude of stator flux i.e. (Φ1m/2). Both these
components are rotating in opposite directions at the synchronous
speed Ns which is dependent on frequency and stator poles.

Let Φf  is forward component rotating in anticlockwise direction


while Φb  is the backward component rotating in clockwise
direction. The resultant of these two components at any instant
gives the instantaneous value of the stator flux at the instant.
The Fig. 1 shows the stator flux and its two
components Φf  and Φb. At start both the
components are shown opposite to each other in
the Fig.1(a). Thus the resultant ΦR = 0. This is nothing
but the instantaneous value of the stator flux at
start. After 90o , as shown in the Fig. 1(b), the two
components are rotated in such a way that both are
pointing in the same direction. Hence the resultant
ΦR is the algebraic sum of the magnitudes of the two
components. So ΦR = (Φ1m/2) + (Φ1m/2) =Φ1m. This is
nothing but the instantaneous value of the stator
flux at θ = 90o as shown in the Fig 1(c).
• Both the components are rotating and hence get cut by the
motor conductors. Due to cutting of flux, e.m.f. gets induced
in rotor which circulates rotor current. The rotor current
produces rotor flux. This flux interacts with forward
component Φf  to produce a torque in one particular direction
say anticlockwise direction. While rotor flux interacts with
backward component Φb to produce a torque in the clockwise
direction. So if anticlockwise torque is positive then clockwise
torque is negative.

•  At start these two torque are equal in magnitude but


opposite in direction. Each torque tries to rotate the rotor in
its own direction. Thus net torque experienced by the rotor is
zero at start. And hence the single phase induction motors are
not self starting.
