Analytic Design Evaluation of Induction Machines MIT
Induction machines are perhaps the most widely used of
all electric motors. They are generally simple to build and rugged, offer
reasonable asynchronous performance: a manageable torque-speed curve, stable
operation under load, and generally satisfactory efficiency. Because they are so
widely used, they are worth understanding. The contents of this notes are as
follows : Introduction, Induction Motor Transformer Model, Operation: Energy
Balance, Squirrel Cage Machine Model , Solid Iron Rotor Bodies, Induction Motor
Speed Control.
