Abstract: The induction motor designed for the variable speed
applications are different from those which are designed for constant speed
applications. This paper deals with the method for the design of induction
motor for variable speed applications starting from the analytical
calculation of equivalent circuit parameters. Finally, the main dimensions
of the motor geometries are provided by using the relation between the
circuit parameters and geometries of a real induction machine. The proposed
approach also minimizes the problems caused by the conventional motor design
methods for the variable speed application. The effectiveness and accuracy
of the proposed design can be verified through Finite Element analysis for
practical design.
Keywords: Induction motor design, equivalent circuit parameters, variable speed
