Abstract

The elimination of harmonic components of the magnetic motive force (MMF) waveform improves the performance of induction motors. The non-sinusoidal MMF waveform creates harmonic components. One of the effects of these components is to increase core losses, noise, and vibration while reducing the efficiency of induction motors. In this paper, to eliminate the harmonic components of the MMF waveform, a novel winding design for the stator of the induction motors is presented. Then, the novel winding design is compared to the conventional one. The effects of the new winding have been investigated to improve the performance of the induction motor. Also, the designed stator winding in ANSYS MAXWELL software was simulated and its magnetic parameters were evaluated. Finally, practical experiments have been performed on two similar 3-phase motors of 380 V, 50 Hz, 180 W, and 2-pole. The obtained simulation and experimental results illustrate the superiority of the novel winding over the conventional one.
