Performance Improvement of a Slotted Solid Rotor Induction Motor with High Temperature Superconder Coating

This paper analyzes an induction motor with high temperature superconducter (HTS) coated slotted solid rotor. By slotting the solid rotor, the electromagnetic torque near synchronous speed will increase but the starting torque will decrease. To improve starting torque, rotor slots are coated with HTS materials. Using HTS material vary the rotor resistance to great extends in starting step and t...

Design for Manufacturability of a High-performance Induction Motor Rotor

A study is conducted on the state-of-the-art manufacturing practices of conventional industrial and research-and-development (R&D) firms manufacturing electric induction motors. It is found that current industrial processes cannot produce high-performance motors, and that current R&D processes are too costly. A new manufacturing process for fabricating the rotors of squirrel cage induction moto...

Effect of Harmonics on a Solid-rotor Induction Motor

The paper records a study of an investigating the performance of a solid-rotor induction motor with a rectilinear inverter excitation to identify the effects of the associated time harmonics. The performance is determined experimentally by using a stator of a three-phase laboratory induction motor that is fitted with a solid-steel rotor and compared with the theoretical model developed which us...

Speed Observer Design for Linear Induction Motor Drives

In this paper, a neural network model reference adaptive system speed observer is designed, which can be used in speed control of linear induction motors (LIMs). Dynamical equations of LIM have been considered accurate. In other words, the end effect and the electrical losses of the motor have been included in the motor equivalent circuit. Then equations of the reference model and adaptive mode...
