Electrical drives with single-phase and three-phase induction motors have been dominant in electromechanical energy conversion in industrial, residential and automotive applications. So far the using of induction motor in these sectors has been a good choice because of its reliability, long life, simple structure, stability, etc. Technological progress in magnetic material technology, power electronics, integrated circuits and microcontrollers have enabled alternative motor technologies such as brushless direct current (BLDC) motors. BLDC motor possesses many advantages comparing with induction motor also DC motor. The using of intelligent control methods improves its performance. These reasons bring to an increasing of the application of this motor in many sectors.  The paper aims to show a way of increasing the efficiency of electrical drives through replacing the induction motor with the BLDC motor. In the paper is  compared a permanent magnet based three-phase brushless DC motor with single phase induction motor used in fan application in terms of efficiency. The analysis is specifically related to low power fan applications. Based on the experimental results presented in the paper is clearly noticed that BLDC motors used in fan application can increase efficiency and bring energy saving up to 35% compared to three-phase induction motors.

A 1-phase induction motor usually has a complicated windings design which compares to polyphase induction motor. In addition, a large capacitor start is required to operate the motor. It is an expensive way to operate the motor if it compare to polyphase induction motor. So, a new innovation method is required to make the motor more simple and cheaper. This research is purposed to study a new winding design for a single-phase capacitor motor. Winding design of the motor was conducted to a simple winding design like a 4-phase induction motor that has four identical windings. The comparator motor that use in this study was a Three-phase induction motor with data 1400 RPM, 1.5 HP, 50Hz, 380/220V, Y/Δ, 2.74/4.7A, 4 poles, that had the same current rating which the proposed method. The result showed that the motor design on this proposed method could be operated at 88.18 % power rating with power factor close to unity.

Abstract Agriculture is a socially significant sector of the economy. The growth of agricultural production contributes to the stable development of society. It is necessary to use new mechanisms driven by induction motors to increase agricultural productivity. Three-phase induction motors are mainly used in the electric drive of agricultural machines. At the same time, it is advisable to use a single-phase network to supply power to remote farms. In this regard, the development of a single-phase electric drive using three-phase motors becomes relevant. In this work, a study of an original semiconductor device for starting a three-phase induction motor from a single-phase network is made. The simulation model of the device created in the Matlab Simulink environment made it possible to study the electromechanical characteristics of the induction motor when operating from a single-phase network. A comparison of the characteristics of the motor during operation from a three-phase and a single-phase network is carried out. The most significant results of the work are the data obtained that the developed device can be used to start and operate a squirrel cage induction motor from a single-phase network. At the same time, the engine energy parameters change slightly.

On the basis of the method of symmetric components, an analytical method is proposed for calculating the coefficients that determine the relationship between the components of the positive and negative sequences of the parameters of the operating mode of an induction motor and the parameters of its power supply for some circuits for the inclusion of voltage-controlled three-phase induction motors with phase-shifting capacitors powered by a single-phase network. On the basis of this technique, the optimal parameters of phase-shifting capacitors can be determined and rational schemes for connecting three-phase induction motors to a single-phase network can be selected.

Induction motors are widely used from home to industrial applications. Speed of induction motor plays important role, so to control the speed of induction motor various techniques are adopted and one of these techniques is V/F control, which is adopted in this paper. This technique helps to control the speed in open control system in RPM. Moreover, Control is designed in LabVIEW, it is quite helpful to develop the circuit graphically and code is automatically written in the background to run on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The aim of this research is to study the impacts on diverse parameters during speed control of three phase induction machine with manipulation of GPIC. Solar technology is used as input source to drive the General-Purpose Inverter Controller (GPIC). Apart of this, impacts of modulation index and carrier frequency influencing the active, reactive and apparent power, temperature and power quality and current overshoot is analysed. MATLAB/Simulink and LabVIEW tools are used for simulation and results along with GPIC, Induction motor and solar panel as hardware.

Large and small single-phase and three-phase induction motors are commonly used in industrial applications. The present work represents an attempt towards the design of a high accuracy system for the measurement of fractional horsepower (FHP) induction motor losses and efficiency. The calorimeter designed and built is capable of measuring heat losses of up to 1 kW with an overall accuracy better than 3%. During all tests, ambient temperature, humidity, motor speed and motor frame temperature were recorded using precise digital instruments. The inlet, outlet temperatures and resulting losses were recorded automatically using a high accuracy 12-bit data acquisition system. The preliminary results obtained demonstrate the suitability of the designed calorimeter for the accurate measurement of losses in FHP induction motors.

A three-phase wound rotor induction motor is modified advantageously as a single-phase induction regulator so that a physical conception of the fundamental principles related to the induced e.m.f.s, balance of m.m.f.s and distribution of windings, which are pertinent to the study of induction machines, can be grasped through experimental observation.
