Single phase Induction motor Design

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the design of a single phase induction motor, specifically a 1/3 HP model operating at 50Hz and 220V. Participants address challenges related to the main dimensions of the stator, slot shape, and rotor skew angle, while also seeking recommendations for resources and software.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests guidance on designing the stator dimensions, slot shape, and rotor skew angle for a single phase induction motor.
  • Another participant questions the necessity of building a motor instead of purchasing one, suggesting that the project may be overly ambitious.
  • A suggestion is made to consult the book "The Performance and Design of Alternating Current Machines" by M G Say for relevant information.
  • One participant expresses a preference for acquiring a motor from an old washing machine rather than designing a new one.
  • The original poster indicates that the motor is intended for industrial purposes.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on whether to design a new motor or to purchase an existing one. There are differing opinions on the feasibility and necessity of the design project.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided specific details about the original poster's experience level in electrical construction and measurement, which may affect the recommendations given.

I want to design a single phase induction motor (1/3 HP,50Hz,220V). I face a problem to design the main dimension of stator and Slot shape and Rotor skew angle . Would you give some idea for design ? or any related book and software ?

Welcome to PF.
You are taking on a really big project. Why do you build and not buy ?
We need to know the level of your experience before we can recommend an appropriate reference.
How much experience do you have with electrical construction and measurement ?
What level of mathematics do you have ?
 
Use; http://www.bookfinder.com to search for a copy of;
Title; The Performance and Design of Alternating Current Machines.
Author; M G Say.
For a new reprint, cost will be about US$5.00 plus shipping.

I would not make a 1/3 HP motor. I would get one from an old washing machine.
 
I want it for industrial purpose .
