multiple coupled circuit modeling of squirrel-cage induction motors, or winding function approach is the most detailed and complete analytical model used to analyze the performance of the faulty induction motors. this paper extends the above-mentioned model to a saturable model including variable degrees of the saturation effects using an appropriate air gap function and novel techniques for lo...

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...

Condition monitoring is an important issue in the maintenance of electrical machines. In the last years several methods for fault diagnosis of the squirrel-cage induction motors were cited in the literature. Among these methods the Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) is considered the most effective non-invasive fault detection method, because it can easily detect all the common electrical ...

A new squirrel-cage rotor structure induction motor (IM) that has a auxiliary permanent magnet (PM) rotor and improved cage-rotor structure is presented to enhance the inherent power factor of the IM, and a prototype motor is fabricated by modifying the rotor of a conventional three-phase four-pole squirrel-cage induction motor. The flux linkage, flux distribution, power factor, core loss and e...

In a power system, the voltage waveform usually contains harmonics and sometimes interharmonics, often defined as components of frequency greater than fundamental component but not its integer multiple. Previous studies have reported minor effect interharmonics on cage induction machine. This paper reveals their extraordinary harmfulness for motors. Namely, may cause high vibration, which can r...

Abstract: Induction motors are the dominant components in industrial processes involving electromechanical energy conversion. Safety, reliability and efficiency are major concerns in modern induction motor applications. Since detecting faults on time could avoid costly unscheduled shutdowns, in recent years there has been an increased interest in induction motor fault detection and diagnosis. I...
