How to calculate rotor flux of the three phase squirrel cage induction motor?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the rotor flux of a three-phase squirrel cage induction motor with specific parameters, including a nominal power of 22.4 kW, a stator voltage of 230V, and a stator current of 39.5A. The user employed the T equivalent circuit to derive the rotor flux using nominal values and the Scilab command 'linsolve', resulting in a rotor flux phasor of λr=0.5554856−0.0613638j, which corresponds to |λr|=0.5588647 V⋅s. Concerns were raised regarding the validity of this calculation, particularly the low value of the rotor flux, prompting requests for verification of the applied methodology.

Three phase squirrel cage induction motor with given parameters (stator winding connected in delta)

  • nominal power: Pn=22.4kW
  • nominal stator voltage: Vsn=230V
  • nominal stator current: Isn=39.5A
  • nominal stator frequency: fsn=60Hz
  • nominal speed: nn=1168min−1
  • number of pole pairs: 3
  • stator resistance per phase (T equivalent circuit): Rs=0.294Ω
  • stator leakage inductance per phase (T equivalent circuit): Lsl=0.00139H
  • rotor resistance per phase (T equivalent circuit): Rr=0.156Ω
  • rotor leakage inductance per phase (T equivalent circuit): Lrl=0.0007401H
  • magnetizing inductance per phase (T equivalent circuit): Lm=0.041H

I have been struggling with calculation of the nominal value of the rotor flux. My idea was that I will use the T equivalent circuit for that purpose

and I will use nominal values of the motor quantities i.e. I set the motor operating point into the nominal operation point (nominal slip, nominal stator voltage etc.). Then I calculate phasor of the stator current (Is) and phasor of the rotor current (Ir) according to the below given set of equations

For the motor parameters mentioned above the Scilab command linsolve gave mehttps://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/attachments/1620849901203-png.238169/
Based on the known phasors of the stator and rotor current I used the below given equation for calculation of the phasor of the rotor flux
https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/attachments/1620849925020-png.238170/
which gives λr=0.5554856−0.0613638j i.e. |λr|=0.5588647V⋅s.

This value seems to me to be too low. So I have doubts regarding the way I have used for its calculation. Unfortunately I don't know any other way for its calculation which I can use for verification. Can anybody tell me whether the applied procedure is correct or not?

I am not sure what do you mean by "rotor magnetic flux”. I don't think the leakage rotor magnetic field it has to be included since the stator and rotor main magnetic field has to be the same.
However, you may calculate-using T equivalent diagram-the current Is . At first calculate the equivalent impedance of parallel Xm with Xlr and Rr/s and then divide Vsn by total impedance Rs+jXs+jXm||(Rr/s+jXlr).The result will be the same. Ir you may calculate by dividing the Is voltage drop on the equivalent impedance of jXm and Rr/s+jXlr by Zr=Rr/s+jXlr.
I think the flux units are average values but Is and Ir are rms.
i=Imax*sin(ωt) Iav=Imax/π Irms=Imax/√2 Iav=√2*Irms/π
 
I am sorry. Iav=1/ π ʃ Imax*sin(ωt)dt| ωt=0 up to ωt= π| then
Iav=2*Imax/π ; Irms=Imax/√2; Iav=2*√2*Irms/π
My mistake!
