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...

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...

Estimation of the Number of Rotor Slots and Rotor Speed in Induction Motors Using Current, Flux, or Vibration Signature Analysis

Effective condition monitoring of induction motors requires knowledge of the number of rotor slots and the rotor speed. These were primarily obtained in the literature by multiple measurements and using design knowledge of the motor under test. Furthermore, the earlier studies have mainly concentrated on stator current analysis. This paper investigates the use of the stator current, axial flux,...
