Performance of Induction Motor Under the Effect of Voltage Unbalance with Loading Consideration

  • Chapter
Progress in Clean Energy, Volume 2

Abstract

The performance of induction motors under different voltage unbalance levels and different loading is investigated in this chapter. The stator/rotor currents, torque and additional power losses are determined for each voltage unbalance value. The levels range from low level to severe situations to assess the ability of the induction motor to withstand different stress levels. A MATLAB/SIMULINK implementation is done to produce the currents, torque and power losses.
