Why double squirrel cage motor used in barring gear? Why?

Answer»

To have high starting torque.

In AC motors torque is directly proportional to φ (flux), I2 and cosφ2.

i.e T ;φ (flux* I2 * cos φ2

∴ T = k * φ (flux)* I2 * cos φ2.

Rotor at standstill E2;φ (flux) 

∴ T = k * E2 * I2 * cos φ2.

In double squirrel cage motor inner cage is low resistive and high inductive. The outer cage is high resistive and low inductive. In case of inner cage Z (impedance) is less (XL = 2π f L). If the rotor is having high inductance at starting I2 will lag E2 by large and cos φ2 (Rotor PF = R2 / Z2) is very less. So torque is less.

At staring rotor torque is proportional to the rotor resistance. At starting inductance is high and the Z is
