Abstract Knowledge of steady-state processes of induction motors is critical in the understanding of their operating principle. In addition to the vast, systematic theories in literature, computer simulations provide a keen insight to the mechanism. Suitable modeling methods enable motors to be simulated with various parameters. Many phenomena can be predicted without hardware experimentation. ...

1. Power consumption by electric motors Worldwide, about two-thirds of the electricity is consumed by motors used in powers industrial facilities. According to DOE report, the motor systems are responsible for 63% of all electricity consumed by U.S. industry and electric bill represents more than 97% of total motor operating costs. Rapidly increasing energy cost and strong global interest in re...

In this paper, a review on condition monitoring of induction motors is first presented. Then, an ensemble of hybrid intelligent models that is useful for condition monitoring of induction motors is proposed. The review covers two parts, i.e., (i) a total of nine commonly used condition monitoring methods of induction motors; and (ii) intelligent learning models for condition monitoring of induc...

Induction motors are the widely used motors in largely power-driven home appliances, agricultural and industrial applications. Induction motors are largely used because of its advantages such as Simple and rugged design, low cost, low maintenance and direct connection to an AC power source. Many applications need variable speed operation and one of them is a simple fan load. The main aim of the...

Induction motors are widely used in transportation, mining, petrochemical, manufacturing and in almost every other field dealing with electrical power. These motors are simple, efficient, highly robust and rugged thus offering a very high degree of reliability. But like any other machine, they are vulnerable to faults, which if left unmonitored, might lead to catastrophic failure of the machine...

Abstruct Induction motors are exited machines used in a lot of areas in industry because o f the features like the simpleness of the structure, the easiness of the control and the necessity of the fewer care. One of priority reasons of induction motors is that the speed adjusting can easily be done by wide ranges by means of the developing of solid-state technology. In this paper, it is put for...

Pulse-width modulated (PWM) adjustable frequency drives (AFDs) are extensively used in industries for control of induction motors. It has led to significant advantages in terms of the performance, size, and efficiency but the output voltage waveform no longer remains sinusoidal. Hence, overshoots, high rate of rise, harmonics and transients are observed in the voltage wave. They increase voltag...

Induction motor is singly excited motor, which is very simple, compact and extremely rugged in construction and most reliable and low cost motor. Although, these motors are reliable but often exposed to hostile environments during its operation which results to early deterioration and in turn lead to the motors failure. Faults and failures of induction machines can lead to excessive downtimes a...
