A Study on the Design of High Efficiency Induction Motor by Grain-oriented Magnetic Cores |
| Abstract |
A split-phase induction motor with asymmetrical magnetizing reactance axes develops starting torque and its efficiency can be high under certain conditions. In this paper, one method of producing the asymmetry of magnetizing reactance axes is described. The grain-oriented silicon steel core is used to produce the asymmetric axes instead of non-oriented silicon steel core which is used in general motors. The optimum design method for the motor is suggested and analyzed. To verify this suggestion, the permanent capacitor run type induction motors are designed to be driven at balanced condition by its asymmetrical effect, and then the oscillating torque due to the asymmetry of motor structures are analyzed. Tests of the sample motor have shown good performance comparable to ordinary types. This motor structure can be used where high effciency and reliability are required, and also the amount of core materials can be reduced due to its high permeability. |
