Effect of Stator Structure and Field Analysis of a New Type Single-Phase Induction Motor

Abstract

The new type single-phase induction motors with three stator windings are brought forward for there high efficiency and low cost. However, the unbalance current density in the stator windings is still a problem to the design of this type motor. This paper presents the asymmetrical stator windings and slots structure in the motor design to get the currents density balance. A magnetic field analysis of the new type tri-winding induction motor is preformed using a two-dimensional finite element method. The Maxwell stress method is used to compute the air gap torque that is required for solving the equation of motion. The perfomance of the motor with different structure stator are compared and analysised.
