Single phase Induction motor Design

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on designing a single phase induction motor (1/3 HP, 50Hz, 220V), with specific challenges related to stator dimensions, slot shape, and rotor skew angle. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the designer's experience level and mathematical background before recommending resources. A suggested reference book is "The Performance and Design of Alternating Current Machines" by M.G. Say, which is affordable and accessible. Some contributors advise against building a new motor, suggesting instead to repurpose an old washing machine motor for industrial use. The conversation highlights the complexities of motor design and the practicality of sourcing existing solutions.

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 ?

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 .
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
