In this paper, we have developed a new prototype of 0.5 hp induction motor with reduced slots in rotor bar and stator core in comparison to the conventional induction motor. The conventional induction motor usually uses 30 slots of aluminum rotor bar and 36 slots in the stator core. In our developed prototype, we used 10 slots of copper rotor bar and 24 slots in the stator core. In order to eva...

The Direct Torque Control (DTC) is one of the most effective control and modern methods for high performance AC drives in a wide variety of industrial application and conventional DTC technique uses two constant reference values stator flux and torque ripple. In this paper, two approach intelligent techniques such as fuzzy logic (FL) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) used to improving the pe...

Water pumping using AC motors has become one of the most feasible photovoltaic (PV) applications. Moreover, PV pumping is getting more attention in recent days mainly in remote areas where connection to the grid is technically not possible. Power generation by Photovoltaic is reliable. The operation and maintenance costs are low. The induction motor is more rugged, and maintenance-free motor. I...

In this paper, Direct Torque Control (DTC) approaches of induction motor (IM) drives has been proposed and it is extensively implemented in industrial variable speed applications. This paper presents a unique direct torque control (DTC) approach for induction motor (IM) drives fed by using a fuzzy logic controller. The intention is to develop a low-ripple high-performance induction motor (IM) d...

Induction motor drives using field oriented control (FOC) for torque and flux control have been used in high performance industrial applications instead of dc motors for many years. In FOC, torque and flux of an induction motor can be controlled independently by decoupling the stator current into its orthogonal components. The FOC method has achieved a quick torque response. But in order to ach...

The induction motors are characterized by complex, highly nonlinear and time-varying dynamics, and hence their speed control is a challenging engineering problem. The advent of vector control techniques has partially solved induction motor control problems, but they are sensitive to drive parameter variations and performance may deteriorate if conventional controllers are used. By exploiting th...

This paper presents the simulation of fivephase nine levels inverter fed five-phase induction motor. The poor quality of voltage and current of a conventional inverter fed induction machines is due to the presence of harmonics which increases their losses. For five phases induction motor fed from multi-level inverters, the current stress of the semiconductor devices decreases, torque ripple is ...

This research is collaborative investigation with the general-purpose motor manufacturer. To review construction method in production process, we applied the parameter design method of quality engineering and tried to approach the optimization of construction method. Conventionally, press-fitting method has been adopted in process of fitting rotor core and shaft which is main component of motor...
