Abstract
Six-phase induction motors (6PIMs) are becoming more prominent in the field of electrical engineering and industrial applications because of their distinct features and benefits compared to conventional three-phase induction motors. Achieving an optimal design for 6PIMs is crucial for boosting their performance and efficiency, thereby promoting their utilization in industrial applications. This thesis aims to examine the effects of winding configurations on the performance of the 6PIM. A comparative study is conducted among three winding configurations including double three-phase induction motors (D-3PIMs), symmetrical 6PIMs (S-6PIMs), and asymmetrical 6PIMs (A-6PIMs) to identify the optimal stator winding configuration that minimizes losses and maximizes motor efficiency. Starting characteristics, including starting torque and current, are crucial considerations, especially in applications that require motors to start under heavy loads. Therefore, the impact of stator winding configuration on the 6PIM motor’s starting and running performance is thoroughly investigated.
Besides the stator winding configuration, the rotor bars in an induction motor play a pivotal role in its operation. They are an integral part of the rotor assembly and are responsible for inducing currents and generating the torque necessary for mechanical work. Understanding the relationship between the number of rotor bars and motor parameters is crucial for optimizing motor performance and efficiency in various industrial applications. In this thesis, the effect of the number of rotor bars on the 6PIM parameters is also investigated. The research employed a combination of theoretical modeling and computer simulations to comprehensively evaluate the effects of stator winding configuration and the number of rotor bars on the performance of the 6PIMs.
In conclusion, this thesis tackles an in-depth investigation of the effects of stator winding configuration and the number of rotor bars on the performance of the 6PIMs. By optimizing motor designs based on these insights, engineers can develop more efficient and reliable systems that meet the evolving demands of modern technology and contribute to energy conservation and sustainability.
