Abstract

Induction motors operating under a given unbalance factor have very different supply voltage conditions. This article presents a complete and precise analysis about the whole range of the amplitude and phase variation of the supply symmetrical components in relation to the values of the voltage unbalance parameters. The exact formulation and graphical representation of the supply voltage sequence components for a given unbalance parameter is shown.
