A. Boglietti et al., ABOUT THE DESIGN OF INDUCTION-MOTORS USING VOLTAGE DRIVEN FINITE-ELEMENT TECHNIQUE, Electric machines and power systems, 22(3), 1994, pp. 371-379
The paper describes a method for the analysis of induction motors. Suc
h an approach is based on the use of Finite Element Method for simulat
ing no-load and locked rotor tests and for deducing the equivalent cir
cuit parameters. A voltage driven formulation is introduced in the sho
rt circuit test where rotor currents are unknown. The procedure is app
lied to a four pole induction motor. The comparison between computed a
nd experimental results is satisfactory.
