Abstract

This paper describes the results obtained from a series of tests of relatively simple methods of improving the power factor of squirrel-cage induction motors. The methods, which are evaluated under controlled laboratory conditions for a 10-hp, high-efficiency motor, include terminal voltage reduction; terminal static capacitors; and a floating'' winding with static capacitors. The test results are compared with equivalent circuit model predictions that are then used to identify optimum conditions for each of the power factor improvement techniques compared with the basic induction motor. Finally, the relative economic value, and the implications of component failures, of the three methods are discussed.

API 541 Third Edition, a revised and improved purchasing specification for form wound squirrel cage induction motors -- 250 horsepower and larger

Conference Donner, G; Subler, W

API 541 Third Edition is a standard that covers the minimum requirements for all form wound squirrel cage induction motors above NEMA 440 frame sizes (normally 250 HP and above). The standard is intended to be used to describe motors that will be used by the petroleum industry. The purpose of API 541 is to serve as a comprehensive standard which can be used by specifiers of high performance motors. Users no longer have to prepare their own purchase specifications, and manufacturers can produce a standard motor that will be widely accepted and competitively priced. The API 541 Standard ismore »« less
Introduction to IEEE 841-1994, IEEE standard for petroleum and chemical industry: Severe duty totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) squirrel cage induction motors -- up to and including 500 hp

Conference Doughty, R

IEEE 841, Recommended Practice for Chemical Industry Severe Duty Squirrel-Cage Induction Motors--600 V and Below, first issued in 1986, has been significantly revised and reissued as a Standard. The scope has been increased to include severe duty TEFC squirrel-cage induction motors with antifriction bearings in sizes up to and including 500 horsepower. Motor rated voltages of 2,300 V and 4,000 V have been added. Changes to the standard are reviewed in detail. Requirements are identified that improve motor reliability and increase motor life.
Detection of air-gap eccentricity and broken-rotor bar conditions in a squirrel-cage induction motor using the radial flux sensor

Journal Article Hwang, Don-Ha; Woo, Byung-Chul; Sun, Jong-Ho; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

A new method for detecting eccentricity and broken rotor bar conditions in a squirrel-cage induction motor is proposed. Air-gap flux variation analysis is done using search coils, which are inserted at stator slots. Using this method, the leakage flux in radial direction can be directly detected. Using finite element method, the air-gap flux variation is accurately modeled and analyzed. From the results of the simulation, a motor under normal condition shows maximum magnetic flux density of 1.3 T. On the other hand, the eccentric air-gap condition displays about 1.1 T at 60 deg. and 1.6 T at 240 deg. Amore »« less

Analysis of the mechanical stresses on a squirrel cage induction motor by the finite element method

Conference Jun, C; Nicolas, A - IEEE Transactions on Magnetics

The mechanical deformations and stresses have been analyzed by the Finite Element Method (FEM) in 3 dimensions on the rotor bars of a small squirrel cage induction motor. The authors considered the magnetic forces and the centrifugal forces as sources which provoked the deformations and stresses on the rotor bars. The mechanical calculations have been performed after doing the electromagnetic Finite Element modeling on the motor in steady states with various slip conditions.
Improved motors for utility applications: Volume 6, Squirrel-cage rotor analysis: Final report

Technical Report Griffith, J; McCoy, R

An analysis of squirrel cage induction motor rotors was undertaken in response to an Industry Assessment Study finding 10% of motor failures to be rotor related. The analysis focuses on evaluating rotor design life. The evaluation combines state-of-the-art electromagnetic, thermal, and structural solution techniques into an integrated analysis and presents a simple summary. Finite element techniques are central tools in the analysis. The analysis is applied to a specific forced draft fan drive design. Fans as a category of application have a higher failure rate than other categories of power station auxiliary motor applications. Forced-draft fan drives are one ofmore »« less
