 Induction Motors

• 67 – 87% of all installed AC drives

• Home and industry applications
• Low production and maintenance costs
• Wide power range
• Reliable operation

Motor loads: pumps,

fans, compressors,
mills, cranes…
 Methods of Starting an Induction Motor

• Direct starting - for small motors;

- large starting current Ip=(6-8)In
- small starting torque Mp  U1f2
- large voltage drop (<10%)

• Wye-delta starting
• Stator resistance starting
• Autotransformer starting
• Soft starting

 Starting Time Calculation
Simpson’s 3/8 rule for numeric integration :
-based upon a cubic interpolation
-twice as accurate as the standard parabolic method

a) Koncar motor: tp = 0.0387 s b) Sever motor: tp = 0.098 s

Longer starting time because of the greater starting torque

Končar motor: 92.89 oC Sever motor: 92.59 oC

• Duty cycle S1
• Totally enclosed and fan cooled motors
• Insulation class F -> allowed temperature 100 oC
 Conclusion

Criteria for choosing adequate induction motor:

1. Rotor energy losses during starting time
(energy efficiency is important)
2. Starting time value
3. Winding temperature (because of insulation
endurance)
