Design and performance analysis of a high-efficiency Y3 induction motor

Abstract

Induction motors have been applied in industrial domain, agriculture, transportation, national defence industry and other industries because of their advantages of simple structure, small inertia, low cost and long time working at high speed and high temperature. In this paper, particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) is applied to the optimal design of Y3 series asynchronous motors to achieve the highest efficiency. Secondly, the RMxprt module of Ansoft was used to design a Y3 high-efficiency induction motor with a certain power level using particle swarm optimization (PSO). Maxwell module was used to carry out finite element analysis to calculate the magnetic density and flux distribution of stator and rotor. The simulation results of stator current, flux, induction voltage and transient torque show that the performance indexes of Y3 induction motor designed in this paper meet the design requirements which verify the rationality of the design.

Design and Analysis of a Permanent Magnet Brushless DC Motor in an Automotive Cooling System

“…Researchers' relentless pursuit of permanent magnet materials and alternative energy sources has been rewarded with significant theoretical and technological advances. They have ushered in a new era of NEVs, in which electricity has gradually become the predominant power source for automobiles [7], as well as a future which is compliant with energy conservation requirements and in which pollutant emissions and nonrenewable energy consumption are drastically reduced [8].…”
