Induction Motors Thermal Monitoring by Means of Rotor Resistance Identification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rotor and stator temperature are of concern in both shortterm machine protection and in longer term condition monitoring for large induction machines. Especially, when operating with overload cycles, it is necessary to monitor rotor bars and stator winding temperatures to make sure that the temperature remains below prescribed limits. The purpose of this paper is to present a thermal monitoring technique, for induction motors steady-state operation, based on the rotor resistance identification. Experimental results, for a 4-kW four-pole squirrel cage induction motor, show the industrial viability of the proposed technique.

Exact Modeling and Simulation of Saturated Induction Motors with Broken Rotor Bars Fault using Winding Function Approach
Winding function method (WFM) provides a detailed and rather simple analytical modeling and simulation technique for analyzing performance of faulty squirrel-cage induction motors (SCIMs). Such analysis is mainly applicable for designing on-line fault diagnosis techniques. In this paper, WFM is extended to include variable degree of magnetic saturation by applying an appropriate air gap functio...
متن کاملImprovement of Electromagnetic Forces in a Single-Phase Induction Motor by Providing a New Winding Distribution
Single-phase induction motors have a wide range of domestic and industrial applications. These motors have a squirrel cage rotor and their stator usually has two windings: main and auxiliary. The use of auxiliary winding in the structure of single-phase induction motors creates two unbalance and asymmetric phases. This causes to increase the spatial harmonics of the field in the air gap, and al...
متن کاملRotor Cage Fault Detection in Induction Motors by Motor Current Demodulation Analysis
Rotor cage faults as broken rotor bars, increased bars resistance and end-ring faults can be caused by thermal stresses, due to overload, overheating and thus mechanical stresses, magnetic stresses and dynamic stresses due to shaft torques. Environmental stresses as contamination or abrasion also contributes to the rotor cage faults. The rotor cage faults can also lead to the shaft vibration an...
