Induction Motors

This is a reference source for practising engineers specializing in electric power engineering and industrial electronics. It begins with the basic dynamic models of induction motors and progresses to low- and high-performance drive systems.

Generously illustrated with over 1600 dispaly equations and more than 145 drawings, diagrams and photographs, this book is a handy, single-source reference suited to readers with a wide span of educational backgrounds and technical experience. Comprehensive in both scope and depth this manual covers all significant aspects of the field, such as Amperes Law and Faraday's Law, emphasing basic explanations of motor behaviour, derives all important equations and relationships required to analyze, design and apply polyphase induction motors, uses worldwide SI units or international MKS system of units as well as practical units used in the US and shows how to apply working equations to real-life situations with numerical examples... and more.

This book provides a thorough approach for mastering the behavior and operation of induction motors, an essential device in the modern industrial world. Its way of presentation renders this book suitable for selfteaching by students, engineers, and researchers in the field of electrical engineering.

Motivated by the need of energy-efficiency improvements, process optimization, soft-start capability and numerous other environmental benefits, it may be desirable to operate induction motors for many applications at continuously adjustable speeds. The induction motor drives can provide high productivity with energy efficiency in different industrial applications and are the basis for modern automation. This book provides an account of this developing subject through such topics as modelling, noise, control techniques used for high-performance applications and diagnostics. Compiled from contributions by international researchers, this is not a textbook, but the result is an interesting exploration of this technology, that provides a combination of theory, implementation issues and practical examples.

AC motors play a major role in modern industrial applications. Squirrel-cage induction motors (SCIMs) are probably the most frequently used when compared to other AC motors because of their low cost, ruggedness, and low maintenance. The material presented in this book is organized into four sections, covering the applications and structural properties of induction motors (IMs), fault detection and diagnostics, control strategies, and the more recently developed topology based on the multiphase (more than three phases) induction motors. This material should be of specific interest to engineers and researchers who are engaged in the modeling, design, and implementation of control algorithms applied to induction motors and, more generally, to readers broadly interested in nonlinear control, health condition monitoring, and fault diagnosis.

The book covers various issues related to machinery condition monitoring, signal processing and conditioning, instrumentation and measurements, faults for induction motors failures, new trends in condition monitoring, and the fault identification process using motor currents electrical signature analysis. It aims to present a new non-invasive and non-intrusive condition monitoring system, which has the capability to detect various defects in induction motor at incipient stages within an arbitrary noise conditions. The performance of the developed system has been analyzed theoretically and experimentally under various loading conditions of the motor. Covers current and new approaches applied to fault diagnosis and condition monitoring. Integrates concepts and practical implementation of electrical signature analysis. Utilizes LabVIEW tool for condition monitoring problems. Incorporates real-world case studies. Paves way a technology potentially for prescriptive maintenance via IIoT.

The induction motor is one of the most significant innovations in contemporary history and it officially kicked off the Second Industrial Revolution by significantly enhancing energy generation efficiency. Induction motors are utilized in a wide variety of applications in the modern industrial world. Motivated by the importance of recent advances, new perspectives, and applications of induction motors, this book presents research from distinguished experts in the field. It addresses recent advances in induction motors, optimal solutions in field-oriented control, the association of converters to induction motors, dynamic analysis, optimized design of synergetic control, fault-tolerant control, mathematical modeling, an adaptive system scheme for a sensorless drive, modeling, and simulation of a system with inter-turn faults, sensorless speed observer for industrial drives, and induction motor applications in electric vehicles. This book is useful for undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, professors, and field engineers due to its combination of both theoretical coverage and real-world application concepts.
