In this paper we investigated the conditions of favorable start-up of fixed-speed induction motors in order to increase the functional reliability of the engines. The methods of controlled soft start of induction electric motors with a squirrel-cage rotors are investigated. The study of the mathematical model of induction motors for determining the dependencies of reducing the dynamic component of the transient electromagnetic moment and the magnitude of the starting current. A computer simulation to identify the effectiveness of different methods of controlled start-up of induction motor was carried out. To generate the starters’ models, the MatLab modelling application, Simulink and SimPowerSystems block libraries were used. Based on the results of transient processes simulation in MatLab, the comparative characteristics for different methods of starting an induction motor were given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
