SYNTHESIS AND MODELING OF AN ELECTROSTATIC INDUCTION-MOTOR

This paper deals with a new way of synthesis and modelling electrostat ic induction micromotors by means of duality rules from the magnetic i nduction machine. An electromechanical model based on this method is g iven. Then, a computational procedure based on a general lumped parame ter model and an electric field calculation code, has been developed s o as to simulate the dynamic working of these actuators. A comparison is made between the computation results and the model results. Satisfa ctory agreement between theory and simulation is obtained in most resp ects.
