Cage Rotor

Click For Summary

Round bars in squirrel cage asynchronous motors are not ideal for high torque applications due to their design limitations. Burying these bars can help reduce torque pulsations and noise but may lead to decreased leakage induction and breakdown torque. For a deeper understanding of these effects, the book "The Induction Machine Handbook" by Boldea and Nasar is recommended. Overall, the design choices for rotor slots significantly impact motor performance and efficiency. Proper consideration of these factors is essential for optimizing motor functionality.

TL;DR: Good afternoon, I started calculating the asynchronous motor with 2P=2 Zs=24, Zr=28. I want to use round-shaped closed-type slots for copper bars. The question is whether there is any method for calculating such round grooves of a closed type, before that I used rectangular or trapezoidal all the time. There are also some recommendations for choosing the height to which the rods should be sunk. Rotation speed 50000, rotor diameter 55 mm.Thank you in advance

Rounds bars are not well suited for higher torque applications. Burying them can decrease torque pulsations and noise, while sacrificing leakage induction and breakdown torque.

You can find a somewhat more detailed treatment of them in Boldea, Nasar - The induction machine handbook.

Thread 'Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes'

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
