In this paper, a new approach for the calculation of high-frequency losses in induction motors is presented. The input to the motors is assumed to be supplied from a sinusoidal voltage source. The method is based on the two-dimensional (2-D)). field solutions of the magnetic circuit, obtained by using a nonlinear "harmonic" solution. Hence, the solution time is very short. From the "harmonic" solution, the air-gap field distribution as well as the fundamental frequency eddy current losses are determined. The high-frequency loss calculation is based on the assumption of a path for eddy currents within a lamination. A constant k is introduced that defines the width of the current flow path. The empirically found k value is verified by a theoretical calculation. The new method is applied to the calculation of losses of two smooth rotor induction motors. The prediction accuracy is found to be very good. The method is also applied to two open rotor slot motors to observe the change in the prediction accuracy. It is found that due to the small slot openings accurate predictions are still possible. The approach presented in this paper requires little time for loss calculation, and is very suitable for minimizing losses at the design stage.

Vector Magnetic Characteristic Analysis of Induction Motor considering Effect of Harmonic Component due to Secondary Slot Enokizono, Masato; Kunihiro, Naoki (2011-09-10) This paper presents load characteristics of a three-phase induction motor model core calculated with the finite element method considering two-dimensional vector magnetic properties. Influence of harmonic components due to the secondary slot of the rotor core on the total iron loss is investigated. In this paper we propose a new iron loss calculation method to consider higher harmonic components.
Torque Components Identification of Induction Machine by FEM Skalka, Miroslav; Ondrusek, Cestmir; Schreier, Ludek; Michailidis, Petr (2011-09-10) This paper contains torque components identification of 3-phase induction machine. Electromagnetic torque and pulsating torque is calculated via a circular path integral of the Maxwell stress tensor which provides a convenient way of computing forces acting on bodies by evaluating a surface integral. Torque calculations are done by finite element method in ANSYS and MATLAB. Also there are identified a high harmonic components of calculated torque with additional asynchronous torque calculation. The torque i...
State estimation techniques for speed sensorless field oriented control of induction motors Akın, Bilal; Ersak, Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003) This thesis presents different state estimation techniques for speed sensorlees field oriented control of induction motors. The theoretical basis of each algorithm is explained in detail and its performance is tested with simulations and experiments individually. First, a stochastical nonlinear state estimator, Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is presented. The motor model designed for EKF application involves rotor speed, dq-axis rotor fluxes and dq-axis stator currents. Thus, using this observer the rotor spe...
Line Current Analysis for Bearing fault Detection In Induction Motors Using Hilbert Transform Phase Oumaamar, M. E. K.; Razik, H.; Rezzoug, A.; Khezzar, A. (2011-09-10) The present paper focuses by means of an experimental study, on the effect of a bearing fault on the stator current signatures in induction motors. The variation in the amplitude of the characteristic components is not so significant. For that and in order to depict the presence of the fault harmonic signatures, the authors used the phase analysis of Hilbert transform applied on the spectrum modulus of the line current.
Speed Control by Sliding Mode of Synchronous Motor Bahi, T.; Lachtar, S.; Soufi, Y.; Lckhchine, S.; Merabet, H. (2011-09-10) This paper presents the results of a simulation for synchronous motor speed control using a Direct Torque Control (DTC). This technique was object of a deep study for synchronous motor drives instead of precise closed loop speed control. However, this technique presents some problems such as, high influence of the motor parameters. The sliding mode controller is a model-based approach used to improve the robustness of the control law despite this influence and to illustrate the good performance of this tech...
