Performance Investigation of Innovative Induction Motor Strategy Using Magnet for Traction Application

Abstract

A novel traction AC motor is proposed by grouping magnets and coils in the stator design with aluminium as substantial for the housing of stator and end ring. The stator back iron is designed with silicon steel. As a result, the magnet can provide more repulsion when revolving the rotor, lowering the input side current. The configuration of the motor was changed to increase its effectiveness in terms of efficiency, and its performance appearances were investigated to compare it to the traditional design of motor. Magnet software was used to simulate the novel constructed induction motor. Most of the factories depend on this induction motor for its significant impact on industrial production and being an essential component of the plant for developing countries’ economic development. Using motor solver software, this paper examines the performance characteristics of a novel constructed induction motor, including efficiency, power factor, and losses. The output of the developed induction motor is compared to that of a traditional three-phase 2.2 kW induction motor for traction application using a motor solver.
