Cage Induction Motor

The aim of this paper is to estimate the induction motor temperature at both steady and transient thermal states under healthy and faulty conditions. The distribution of the temperature in the motor is calculated using thermal models based on the 2D Lumped Parameter Thermal Network (LPTN). The thermal model takes into account the heat sources, convection heat transfer and the thermal resistances in the motor. The heat flow generated by the conduction and convection in a three-phase squirrel cage induction motor is discussed. The developed model is used to study the motor thermal behavior during the opening phase situation. The results obtained by the model developed are validated by experimental tests. The tested machine is a standard three-phase, 4-pole, 2.2 kW, 380 V squirrel cage induction motor of Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled “TEFC” design manufactured in Algeria by Electro-Industries company. The simulated temperatures so obtained are in good agreement with the measured ones, and the 2D Lumped Parameter Thermal Network study seems to be appropriate to characterize the heating of the active parts of the machine under different operating conditions.

This paper presents improved Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) of the Direct Torque Control (DTC) of Three-Phase Induction Motor (IM) for high performance and torque control industrial drive applications. The performance of the IM using PI Controllers and general fuzzy controllers are meager level under load disturbances and transient conditions. The FLC is extended to have a less computational burden which makes it suitable for real time implementation particularly at constant speed and torque disturbance operating conditions. Hybrid control has advantage of integrating a superiority of two or more control techniques for better control performances. A fuzzy controller offers better speed responses for startup and large speed errors. If the nature of the load torque is varied, the steady state speed error of DTC based IM drive with fuzzy logic controller becomes significant. To improve the performance of the system, a new control method, Hybrid fuzzy PI control is proposed. The effectiveness of proposed method is verified by simulation based on MATLAB. The proposed Hybrid fuzzy controller has adaptive control over load toque variation and can maintain constant speed.

This paper proposes a sensorless procedure to estimate the induction motor speed and the dependable heat contents of the stator and rotor sides. The proposed procedure is based on the electrical models of a three phase Induction Motor (IM). The motor electrical models for normal and abnormal will be discussed and a technique is introduced for accommodating frequency dependent skin effect of the rotor resistance using a simple proposed speed estimation algorithm. The electrical models are customized from the positive and negative sequence networks. The speed detection is based on the rotor parameters slip dependent. The models are then used to analyze different operating conditions of the motor. Two thermal motor protection schemes are suggested. The first scheme is dependent on the stator side while the other scheme is developed for rotor side. The Matlab software is used for this purpose to emulate efficiently the proposed estimation procedures through a complete motor modeling which is fed from the power grid. Finally, the results provide the motor performance characteristics which involve current, torque, speed and stator/rotor temperature versus time for numerous operating conditions. It is concluded that the proposed sensorless procedure is efficient to protect the induction motors against abnormal starting as well as the overheating on either stator or rotor sides. Also, the proposed sensorless estimation for speed and temperature is reliable for submersible motor applications. The proposed schemes can be considered as costless preventive maintenance procedure.Index Terms: induction motor, slip dependent, sensorless, thermal model, abnormal operating conditions.

Many industry applications required the use of the induction motors. In such envirenement the electrical machines are facing of many stressed operating conditions. One of the critical creteria which decide the choice of the induction motor is the thermal behaviour under different mode operation. In this paper a study of the thermal behavior of an induction motor is presented. In order to predict the temperature in the different machine components, a model based on the lumped parameter thermal network   has been developed. The geometry of the machine and the thermal properties of its various components are used to express the developed model. The joule and the iron losses are considering as the inputs. The proposed model is implemented and tested using MATLAB software. It is a simple model which could predict rapidly the different temperatures.

Induction motors are widely used in commercial and industrial applications due to their robustness, high efficiency, low maintenance requirements and durability among other reasons. Consequently, their speed should be controlled for better performance. This paper describes utilization of a scalar speed control of a three-phase squirrel cage induction motor (SCIM) to control a motor’s speed using an integral sliding mode controller (ISMC). The controller was tested under various operating conditions. The results are compared with a case employing a conventional PI controller. It was found that speed control by ISMC has a 0.16 RPM steady-state error, 0.03 s to reach steady-state from a standstill, and a 5% overshoot. All of these are lower values as compared to the results of a conventional PI controller. In this paper, the robustness of each controller to uncertainties is checked. Simulation results show the advantages of ISMC control methods. The system is simulated using MATLAB SIMULINK R2017a.

This paper adopted a thermal network method (TNM) based on  Motor-CAD software, and Matlab/SIMULINK, with finite element method (FEM) based on Flux2D software to perform a thermal analysis of a totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC), squirrel cage, three-phase induction motor. The thermal analysis is achieved based on a precise knowledge of the test motor geometry, materials, and heat sources (losses). The estimation of heat distribution inside the test motor by this three software is done successfully with a good agreement between its results. The proposed triple-software methodology for this work can be adopted from the motor designer instead of using an experimental test based on a real motor.

Early Fault Detection

Three-phase induction motors are considered to be the workhorse of industry. Therefore, induction motor faults are not only the cause of users’ frustrations but they also drive up the costs related to unexpected breakdowns, repair actions, and safety issues. One of the most critical faults in three-phase induction motors is related to the occurrence of inter-turn short circuits, due to its devastating consequences. The topic of inter-turn short-circuit faults in three-phase induction motors has been discussed over recent decades by several researchers. These studies have mainly dealt with early fault detection to avoid dramatic consequences. However, they fall short of addressing the potential burnout of the induction motor before the detection step. Furthermore, the cumulative action played by an inevitable degree of unbalanced supply voltages may exacerbate such consequences. For that reason, in deep detail, this paper delves into the thermal analysis of the induction motor when operating under these two harsh conditions: unbalanced supply voltages and the presence of the most incipient type of inter-turn short-circuit condition—a short-circuit between two turns only. In this work, the finite element method has been applied to create the faulty scenarios, and a commercial software (Flux2D) has been used in order to simulate the electromagnetic and thermal behavior of the machine for various degrees of severity of the aforementioned faulty modes. The obtained results confirm that the diagnostic tools reported in the literature might not be effective, failing to warrant the required lead time so that suitable actions can be taken to prevent permanent damage to the machine.
